mc²36 - Parameter Copy and Reset
The COPY/RESET AUDIO panel can be used to copy and reset DSP parameters, bus assignments, channel signal flow, channel color coding and fader strip free control assignments.
Individual or groups of settings can be copied or reset. When performing a copy, you can copy to single or multiple destinations. In each case, parameters are selected using the SEL buttons on the Central Control Section (as described earlier).
Note that this panel is also used to make Free Control assignments and so, the CLR button has no function when working with COPY or RESET.
Copying to a Single Channel
To copy parameters from one channel to another:
1. Select the source channel - either by pressing its fader SEL button or using the Access/Assign panel.
2. Press the COPY and ONE buttons, located on the COPY/RESET AUDIO panel, to activate a one-shot assignment:
The fader SEL buttons across the console flash, in green.
3. Select the audio module(s) you wish to copy using the SEL buttons on the Central Control Section.
You can choose multiple modules and other channel parameters if you wish. In our example, the EQ SEL button has been used to select all parameters from the 4-band EQ module:
4. Choose the destination channel by pressing its fader SEL button.
The selected parameters are copied, and the COPY and ONE buttons cancel.
If you wish to exit without copying any settings, just deselect the COPY button or press ESC, on the SCREEN CONTROL panel, at any point during the operation.
Copying to Multiple Channels
You can copy the selected parameters to multiple channels by selecting COPY and MLT (rather than COPY and ONE):
1. Select the source channel - either by pressing its fader SEL button or using the Access/Assign panel.
2. Press the COPY and MLT buttons (on the COPY/RESET AUDIO panel) - the fader SEL buttons across the console flash, in green.
3. Select the audio module(s) you wish to copy using the SEL buttons on the Central Control Section.
4. Choose the destination channels by pressing their fader SEL buttons - you can copy to as many channels as you wish by pressing multiple fader SELs.
5. Remember to deselect MLT, or press ESC on the SCREEN CONTROL panel, to exit the copy and paste mode.
Copying to ALL Channels
You can also copy parameters to all channels of a particular type. This is particularly useful when you are first building your layout. For example, to copy your favourite EQ Band types, frequencies and Q values to all input channels.
1. Select the source channel - either by pressing its fader SEL button or using the Access/Assign panel.
2. Press the COPY and ALL buttons (on the COPY/RESET AUDIO panel) - the fader SEL buttons across the console flash, in green.
3. Select the audio module(s) you wish to copy using the SEL buttons on the Central Control Section.
4. Now choose the channel type(s) you wish to copy to, using the Access/Assign panel – for example, select INP:
Note that you can select multiple channel types if you wish – e.g. select INP, GRP and SUM to copy the selected parameter(s) across all input, group and sum channels.
5. Press ENTER on the Access/Assign panel to complete the copy operation.
Copying an Individual Parameter
To copy just one parameter from an audio module – for example EQ 3 Gain – use COPY and CLIP as follows:
1. Select the source channel - either by pressing its fader SEL button or using the ACCESS/ASSIGN panel.
2. Select the parameter you wish to copy, by touching a rotary encoder on the Central Control Section - the parameter is placed into the PARAMETER clipboard.
3. Press the COPY and CLIP buttons on the COPY/RESET AUDIO panel.
This automatically selects the ONE button for a one-shot copy. (To copy to multiple channels, press MLT instead of ONE.)
4. Choose the destination channel(s) by pressing the fader SEL button(s).
The EQ 3 Gain parameter is copied to the destination channel(s); all other EQ parameters are unchanged.
