Mix parameters and outboard FX are controlled using MIDI program changes to recall snapshots and patches in digital desks (Yamaha 02R, Digico D5) and FX (Yamaha SPX 990, TC D-2) that are capable of receiving MIDI program change data. This frees up the sound engineer to concentrate on the mix, rather than worrying about changing FX patches manually.

This free program, made with REALbasic, simulates some of the effects of diving with SCUBA. Some of the effects are exaggerated for instructional purposes. Try planning your dive and diving your plan: Think of a target depth, then descend and maintain it. When you reach your pre-determined air pressure, ascend to your safety stop depth and maintain that depth, then ascend to the surface. Your goal is to ascend slowly (without triggering an "ASCEND SLOWER" alarm on the dive computer screen) make a safety stop, and surface with not less than 300 PSI of air in your cylinder.
