Channel "Release" on an Ion

I'm demo-ing an Ion.  I've been on an Expression 3 for 5 years.  If I'm on a cue and channels 1-5 are at 50%,and I want to see what 80% looks like, I can hit channel 1-5 at 80 enter (on Exp. 3), then if I don't like it, I just hit "REL" (release) and it goes back to 50%, or whatever it was originally on the cue.  On Ion if I do the same thing, but there isn't a "Release" button, I don't know how to do the same thing- to get back to what was originally programmed in the cue, essentially "un-capturing" the channels.  I see where if you hit "clear" enough times to clear the command line, it'll sort of un-highlight the channels that were "captured" but the levels stay unchanged until you go forward or backward in the cue list.  There's got to be a way, I just haven't found it yet.

Hopefully this is clear enough that someone knows what I'm sayin'...

  • Just a bit of clarity.  Sneak/Enter doesn't necessarily take out your channels. It releases manual control.  If there is any information coming from a playback for that channel/parameter, the channel will resume that value.  If there is no information coming from the playbacks (could be either cue or submaster, based on who was previously providing the level), the channels will go to their home position.  In the case of intensity, this is, indeed, out.

    Hope that helps!
