You can save all your ToneMatch Mixer settings as a Scene.  Think of it as a snapshot. You can have up to ten User Scenes.

Note: Scenes created with a T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine are not compatible with T4S ToneMatch mixer/T8S ToneMatch mixer. Although functionally similar there are too many differences (e.g., Reverb parameters, Panning, Aux routing).

A Scene captures all your settings except input trim and channel and master volume controls.

It's easy to create and recall Scenes so use them to back up your settings so you can recall them when you need them.

T4S/T8S USB A Playback and Scenes

Why do USB A playback settings for volume and mute change when I change Scenes?
Scenes are a snapshot of all the ToneMatch mixer settings at the time when you save the Scene including settings for USB A Playback.
Exceptions
  • Trim and Volume controls are not included in the Scene.
  • If you are playing a song via USB A playback, the song will continue to play when you switch Scenes



If you have Scenes with different settings for USB A Playback volume, switching from Scene to Scene will load the different settings for USB A Playback
Example
  1. Scene: User Scene One
    • Setting USB A Playback volume: Mute
  2. Scene: User Scene Two
    • Setting USB A Playback volume: 25%
  3. Scene: User Scene Three
    • Setting USB A Playback volume: 50%

If you switch from User Scene Three to User Scene Two while using USB A Playback, the volume will change from 50% to 25%.

If you switch from User Scene Three to User Scene One while using USB A Playback, the volume will change from 50% to Mute.

If you switch from User Scene Two to User Scene One while using USB A Playback, the volume will change from 25% to Mute.
