Learn how to revert an eMotion LV1 Classic console to the factory default state.

The eMotion LV1 Classic console can be reset to the factory default state. Please read the notes below before resetting your console.

Important Notes:

Factory resetting the console will revert it to an initialized state with default settings. You will need to reconfigure your mixer settings after the factory reset.
We highly recommend only saving sessions files (.emo file extension) and other user files on the console’s user data (D:\) drive, which is not affected by the factory reset process. Back up any important files you may have stored on your system (C:\) drive before resetting the console.
Waves licenses activated on the console will not be affected by the factory reset process.
The recent sessions list in the ‘SHOW’ tab will be cleared. To repopulate this list, reload your sessions.

To revert the eMotion LV1 Classic console to its factory default state, follow these steps:

Access the console’s Kiosk window by going to the Setup tab and pressing the ‘Admin’ button.
Click on ‘Recovery’.
In the ‘Waves Recovery Partition’ window, click on ‘OneKey System Recovery’
Checkmark ‘Restore a system by using the image file in Recovery partition’ and click ‘Next’
Confirm that the system (C:\) drive is selected and click on ‘Start Restore’.
At this point, the recovery process will begin. It may take a few minutes.
Once the recovery process is done, the following prompt will appear: Click Yes or wait 10 seconds for the console to automatically restart.

The console is now back to its default state.
