Show memories

Use Shows to archive your complete configuration and all settings.  These can be transferred between iLive systems and stored on your computer via USB key.

A Show stores your complete set up and takes a few minutes to load.  It is not intended for instant recall of band settings, theatre cues and so on.  Use Scenes for that instead. User Profiles are not stored in Show memories. Settings stored:

Use the Surface UTILITY / Configuration / Show Manager screen or Editor Shows toolbar.  The left hand window displays Shows stored in iLive, the right hand window Shows stored on the USB key.

To recall a Show

Use the + button to Expand the list of Shows currently stored.  Highlight the Show to be recalled.  You can recall a Show stored in the iLive, Editor or directly from the USB key.  Touch the Recall Show button.  Touch OK to confirm.

A Show can take a few minutes to recall depending on its size.  Shows with many Scenes take longer to recall.

Note - Recalling a show overwrites all the system settings and can change your mix architecture and patching.  Make sure existing settings are archived first if you want to keep them to use again in the future.

To archive a Show

Touch the Archive Show button.  The keypad opens with the highlighted Show name displayed or blank if one is not selected. Press Enter to overwrite the existing Show, or type a name into the onscreen keypad to archive it as a new Show. This takes a few seconds to complete.

Using a USB key

For iLive to see the Shows on your USB key they should be placed in an  allenheath \ shows  folder in the root directory of your key.  If you have previously archived Shows to the key using an iLive then this folder should have already been created.

Note - Use a good quality USB key and make sure it is not partitioned.  iLive stores its information in directories it creates in the root directory of the USB key.

Note - You do not need to 'dismount' the USB drive when it is used with the Surface.  Simply plug the key in and pull it out when you are finished.  However, make sure you wait a few seconds after the transfer has completed before you remove the key otherwise data may become corrupt.
