Initializing settings
Here’s how you can return the EQ/dynamics settings of
the currently selected channel or the effect settings of a
rack to their initial state. GEQ settings can be initialized
using the FLAT button in the screen.
1. Access a window that contains tool buttons.
2. Select the channel (EQ/dynamics) or rack
(effect/Premium Rack) whose settings you want
to initialize.
3. Press the DEFAULT button.
A dialog box will ask you to confirm the Initialize
operation.
4. Press the OK button to execute the Initialize
operation.
The EQ/dynamics settings of the channel you
selected in step 2 or the effect/processor settings of
the rack will be initialized. If you decide to cancel
the initialization, press the CANCEL button instead
of the OK button.
NOTE
In the case of EQ/dynamics, you can use the channel
number/channel name buttons in the 8ch/ALL window to
select a range of channels and initialize them
simultaneously.
Copying and pasting
settings
Here’s how you can copy the EQ/dynamics settings of
the currently selected channel or the
GEQ/effect/premium rack settings of the currently
selected rack to buffer memory, and then paste them to
a different channel or rack. Copy/paste is limited to the
following combinations.
Between input channel EQ settings
Between output channel EQ settings
Between dynamics processors for which the
paste-destination has the same type (GATE,
DUCKING, COMPRESSOR, EXPANDER,
COMPANDER-H, COMPANDER-S, or DE-ESSER) as
the copy-source
Between effects/GEQ mounted in a rack
Between the same processors mounted in a premium
rack
NOTE
Only 31BandGEQ settings that use less than fifteen bands
can be copied to a Flex15GEQ.
1. Access a window that contains tool buttons.
2. Select the channel (EQ/dynamics) or rack
(GEQ/effect/premium rack) whose settings you
want to copy.
3. Press the COPY button.
The current settings will be copied to buffer
memory.
NOTE
Be aware that if you copy other settings before you paste,
the buffer memory will be overwritten.
You can select only one channel or rack as the
copy-source. If multiple channels are selected in the
8ch/ALL window, you won’t be able to press the COPY
button.
4. Select the paste-destination channel or rack.
NOTE
If you’re pasting EQ/dynamics settings, you can use the
8ch/ALL window to select multiple channels as the
paste-destination. In this case, the same content will be
pasted to all selected channels.
5. Press the PASTE button.
The settings of the channel (EQ/dynamics) or the
rack (GEQ/effect/premium rack) you selected in
step 2 will be pasted.
NOTE
Be aware that when you paste, the settings will overwrite
the paste-destination.
If nothing has been copied to the buffer memory, the
PASTE button cannot be used (is ghosted).
Of the two types of GEQ, using the tool buttons in a rack
where a Flex15GEQ is selected will cause rack settings A
and B to be copied/pasted individually.
You cannot paste effect settings that use effect types
HQ.Pitch or Freeze to racks 2, 4, 6 or 8.
