Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions
E-MEM Registers
Effect setups are stored in E-MEM registers. There is a total of 100
registers in the Master E-MEM, grouped in ten banks of ten
registers. Each register belongs to a specific bank (0 through 9) and
has a unique number (0 through 9) within that bank. For example,
register 46 means bank 4, register 6.
When the system is powered up, the keypad readout comes up
with a “NO CURRENT REG” message.
Effects and Keyframes
An E-MEM “effect” has generally been considered to be whatever
was stored in an E-MEM register. This consisted of the status of
enabled levels of the switcher as set up on the control panel and in
the menus, at the time the E-MEM effect was stored (“learned”).
However, the Model 3000 Switcher is now able to store more than
one switcher state (“a keyframe”) on each enabled level in a single
E-MEM register, and to transition, or “run,” between keyframes.
Therefore, a keyframe effect is considered to be a sequence of
keyframes stored in a single E-MEM register.
You may think of an E-MEM effect as being the same as a
keyframe effect, but consisting of a single keyframe on each
enabled level. This mode of operation (single-keyframe effects)
may still be used, and may be preferable to multiple-keyframe
effects in many instances.
