THE COMBINATOR
501
Adding devices using copy/paste
You can copy devices and paste them into a Combi.
1. Select the devices you wish to copy as usual.
2. Select “Copy Device” from the Edit (or context) menu.
3. Select a device in the Combi or click the empty space to show the insertion line.
4. Select “Paste Device” from the Edit (or context) menu.
D When pasting, the devices will be added below the currently selected device or the Insertion line in the Combi.
No auto-routing takes place.
D Pressing [Shift] when pasting will attempt to auto-route according to standard rules.
Adding a Combi to a Combi
Nested Combis (i.e. a Combi within a Combi) is not supported. If you open the Create menu when the Insertion line
or a device in a Combi is selected, the Combinator item will be grayed out.
You can, however, use drag and drop or copy/paste to add a Combi to another Combi. The following then applies:
D The devices in the dragged (or pasted) Combi will be “uncombined” (i.e. the Combinator device itself will be
removed) and the devices will be added below the insert position in the target Combi.
Existing routing will be unchanged.
D If you press [Shift] when dragging (or pasting) the uncombined devices will be auto-routed as if it was a single
device.
The “From Devices” Output (and “To Devices” input if applicable) used in the uncombined Combi will be auto-
routed to the target Combi, according to standard rules.
Combining two Combis
D The lower Combi will be uncombined and the devices added to the upper Combi in the rack when combining.
Existing routing will be unchanged.
Combining devices in a Combi with devices in the rack
If you combine some devices in a Combi with devices in the rack, the combined devices are removed from their orig-
inal locations and added to a new Combi (below the “original Combi).
Combi handling
Moving the entire Combi
This works much the same as for other devices in the rack.
D Select the Combinator by clicking on the holder and drag to a new position.
An outline of the Combinator is shown when you drag, and a red line shows the insert position. All connections are
kept.
D If you press [Shift] when dragging the Combinator will attempt to auto-route to the insert position in the rack
according to standard rules.
The auto-routing will take into account whether it is an effect Combi or an instrument Combi.
