load, save and edit the scenes. The Scenes Safe function works in a similar way

SNIPPETS
The M32 has a new flexible structure called 'Snippets' , which allows for setting
selective parameters and channel filters for storage. Recalling a Snippet will
exclusively affect the stored bits of information, leaving the remaining console
status untouched. This allows to surgically introduce specific bits of automation
into the current mix status. Up to 100 Snippets can be stored at any time. Use the
Load, Save and Edit functions by pressing the adjacent push encoder to load,
save and edit the Snippet.
A Snippet can be focused on any specific selection of parameters a user may
find suitable, such as EQ, Insert, Fader, Mute, Send levels, etc. A Snippet will also
be focused on a random selection of channels (inputs, returns or any mixes).
When loading this Snippet only the previously stored information will replace the
respective console parameters, while the rest remains as is.

PARAMETER SAFE
The SHOW CONTROL screen's param safe tab configures which of the M32's
parameters are or are not saved or switched with the console scenes. This is very
useful when the operator has certain parameters of which they wish to remain
in control, and would never want to have altered during a scene change, for
example the mic pre gains on the input channels.
To adjust the various settings on the param safe tab, perform the
following steps:
1. Turn any of the first four push encoders to navigate among the checkboxes
on the Main Display, which represent various console areas tat can be
isolated from scene changes.
2. Tap any of the first four push encoders to select the console areas that have
been selected with the push encoders. In each of the four columns, multiple
console areas can be selected an isolated from scene changes.
The following areas of the M32 can be isolated from scene changes, and are
divided up into four columns on the Main Display:
Column 1: Input Channels
• HA (Head Amp / Microphone Preamp)
• Configuration
• Channel EQ
• Channel Gate / Compressor
