the menu, as applicable.

You can also use the Copy Channel Strip Setting and the Paste Channel Strip Setting

key commands.

Note: When you paste channel strips (instead of loading them), the Level fader,

Panorama Send Level, and all routing destinations are also set according to the channel

strip setting in the Clipboard.

To save a channel strip setting:

1 Click the Setting button and choose Save Channel Strip Setting As (or use the

corresponding key command).

2 In the Save Channel Strip Setting As dialog, select the appropriate sub-folder (if

applicable), and type in a name for the channel strip setting.

As there are different classes of channel strips, a number of channel type specific sub-

folders are available in the Channel Strip Settings folder. These sub-folder structures are

reflected in the Settings menu for each type of channel strip:

Please do not attempt to change the Channel Strip Settings folder structure. But you

may create a new folder, if desired, and save into it. If no folder is selected, the saved

channel strip setting will be shown directly in the Channel Strip Setting menu, below

the functions.

You can remotely switch between channel strip settings by sending MIDI program

change messages. This allows you to select your favorite sounds (consisting of a

complete channel strip setting that can contain a software instrument and effect plug-

ins) by pushing a button on your MIDI keyboard. This facility is named channel strip

performances, and is designed for live use of Logic Express.
