COPY TO CLIPBOARD

This will copy the edit region within the IN/OUT marks or will copy the currently selected
CUE(s) to the clipboard. Pressing COPY will display this screen:
You can see the length of the edit region/cue(s) in the COPY LENGTH field. You cannot
access this field and is shown for information purposes only.
When you press COPY, the EXECUTE key's LED will flash. Simply pressing the EXECUTE
key at this point will copy the edit region/cue(s) to the default edit clipboard 0 and will also
close this screen. If you wish, however, you may like to copy the current edit region/cue(s)
to one of the numbered edit clipboards 1-9. To do this, press one of the number keys 1-9
on the numeric keypad before pressing EXECUTE. The clipboard number will be shown
on the LCD. Pressing EXECUTE will copy the edit region/cue(s) to the selected clipboard.
For example, to copy the edit to clipboard 5, press COPY, 5, EXECUTE.
If you wish, prior to copying the edit to a clipboard, you may give it a name for easier
reference later on. If you do not name it, it will take the name of the currently selected cue
or the cue within the edit region. If multiple cues are selected, the name of the first cue will
be shown in the selected clipboard. However, when you come to paste this back in, the
other cues in the region will retain their original name.
To name the edit prior to copying it, press the NAME key. The CLIPBOARD NAME field
will 'open':
You may enter a name of up to ten characters using the track select keys on the upper
panel of the DL1500. Press EXECUTE to complete the naming action and then
EXECUTE again to complete the copy.
If you are using a computer keyboard with the DL1500, just start typing to name the clip.
Press RETURN to complete the naming process and RETURN again to complete the edit.
NOTE: if you rename a cue when copying it will use this name when subsequently pasted
back in. If you name a region that has multiple cues in it, ALL the cues will share the
same name when you come to paste it back in.
