As far as I can see, the board I'm using is setup to record all settings for scene save, but when I recall a scene, the in/out patching (ex: dir outs in Slot-1 w/ an Aviom card) isn't recalled. Changes to patching seem to occur globally and independent of scene save and recall. How do I change this so patching is saved and recalled with each scene?

Is the PM5D basically like a scaled down PM1D?

24 mixes that can be variable or fixed, and can feed matrix or Stereo out, or go to a direct output. Thus treat the mixes like an aux or group and go from there?
