This is normal behavior – Because the system will always boot up as it was when shut down – which will most likely include changes made since the last scene you recalled. So it might look like you have scene 20 say on the system but it will actually be scene 20 + any mix changes since the last scene recall. So it isn’t actually scene 20 at all – it is just the last mixer state when shut down. If when you reboot you actually want scene 20 then you will still need to select and recall it.
Hope that helps

Hi Delta

As Stix has said this is how the the scene manager is designed to work. Also if changes are made via Editor this will also effect the system this is why we do not display the last scene recalled after a power cycle of the system.

Hi Dave – I will look into your ideas as a feature request

In the south toolbar of the touchscreen is displays the next scene to be recalled how about displaying current scene next to this? Would be interesting to here your thoughts?

It’s not so much just seeing what the current scene is, though that would be nice.

I use the iLive for theatrical/musical uses. So I might have a few hundred cues in a show, and they go by pretty fast at times. When I recall a scene by MIDI (using SFX), there are often times I want to modify the scene slightly and re-update it. Especially during rehearsals. Not having the recalled scene auto-highlight after MIDI recall makes it very possibly I’ll hit UPDATE with the wrong scene highlighted.

If that were fixed, PLUS an option to have the GO button auto-advance to the next scene in the list, I’d be in love with the Scene Manager! Right now it’s more a love/hate relationship.

Hope that made sense.

dschmoldt! can you elaborate on your setup with sfx? I am prepping a show with Qlab with similar needs to trigger scene changes from within the application….as there is no midi access to the editor I will have to use a midi interface (was hoping to do away with this) and trigger all internally, since both Qlab and Editor are on the same mac……..

Triggering scene recalls with the iLive through MIDI is pretty similar to scene recalls with a Yamaha, Behringer and other digital mixers. They all use the same protocol.

Basically send a MIDI command as a Program Change (C0h), then for MIDI data, send the scene number you want to record mus 1, since MIDI is zero-based.

Example: To recall Scene 5, send a Program Change with a MIDI data of 4.

If you need to recall iLive scenes higher than 128, do the same thing using MIDI bank 2.

thanks David…but I was talking about you physical setup……i.e. what midi interface etc..how its rigged and how solid is your setup etc…….

I’m using a Firewire Firepod FP-10 8-channel audio interface that also has MIDI ports. Windows 7 on the PC. It’s been rock solid.

Prior to the FirePod I used a MidiSport 2×2 USB MIDI interface on Win XP and Vista (with a Yamaha DM1000 mixer). Had no problems with it, either.

there are some nice features in digico scene management and also on the digidesign venue ……..maybe a sample of both desks best features would do nicely ……for a start, the timed crossfade between scenes and update scope which lets one choose which scenes are changed/updated with the new information and of course…… some indication of which scene are we in and a GO button to name a few………

that’s essentially the “update scope” function on digico ….instead of an all button you choose the scenes to update with new info ……..it can be all if you select all or just those that belong to a certain group or just the one scene etc……quite useful…..
