UTILITY copying
This screen allows various parameters to be copied
within and between channel modules.
It also allows the protection of various parameters to
stop them being overwritten when they are copied
and pasted between channels.
Press the UTILITY key (ALT + 9) to access this
screen.
TIP
You can also use the
PARAMETER EDIT SCREEN
key (above the
COPY
and
PASTE
keys) to bring up
this screen.
Copying within a module
The top half of the screen is used to control these
functions, which allow the pan/balance settings and
levels to be copied between aux busses and busses
(including the stereo buss). This may be useful when
setting up a studio monitor mix, for example, and the
levels and pans of the aux sends used for the monitor
mix should initially be set to the same as the chan-
nels.
1 Check either of the two checkboxes (
PAN/BAL
and/or
LEVEL
) to select the settings to be copied.
2 In either of the two boxes associated with
these checkboxes, the top row copies settings
from the aux to buss, and the second row cop-
ies them from buss to aux.
Naturally, it is not possible to select both in the
same box, though it is possible to select
CH ->
AUX
in one box and
AUX -> CH
in the other.
3 Select the source and the destination parame-
ters as explained here.
• For pan/balance copying, linked pairs of aux
sends and busses are available, or an
ALL
selec-
tion is also available. Note that individual aux
and busses are not available.
• The
STEREO
buss is available as a destination.
• The aux sends are selectable individually or as
linked pairs as sources or destinations for level
copying.
• Channels are divided into blocks of eight:
1-8
,
9-16
,
17-24
,
25-32
33-40
,
41-48
,
49-56
,
57-64
and
ALL
.
Individual channels cannot be selected. This
applies to both pan/balance and level copying.
4 Move the cursor to the on-screen
COPY
button
and press
ENTER. A confirmation popup mes-
sage appears.
5 Press
ENTER again to confirm the copy, or a
cursor key to cancel.
If neither of the checkboxes is checked when you
press the
COPY
button, an error message is displayed.
