 IN1 – IN2 – GEN
Input Selector. Each channel has three patch points available (the channel
patch is viewable on the Graphical Controller TFT screen,
Input 3 is patched to the internal generator's output by default, but can be
changed at any time.
 HI CUT – LO CUT – DELAY – INS – COMP-LIMIT – EXP-GATE – EQ – PAN
Audio functions on/off; if lit, the corresponding audio function is activated.
If dark, the function is bypassed. For more details about functions and their
parameters refer to chapter 3).
 (Copy/Paste)
Dedicated to each audio function, these keys act as copy (first press) and
paste (second press) at the same time. After having copied the value of the
source channel into the internal clipboard (first press), the source channel key
is fully lit while all possible destination channels are half-lit. This guides the
user to select the destination channel efficiently. After having selected one of
them as destination key (second press), the copy/paste function is terminated.
Nevertheless there are several ways to paste the clipboard value to multiple
channels:
• Create a gang and paste the value into one of the members
• Press and hold the first channel and press another one in addition: All
channels in between will get pasted the same value
• Hold MULTI SEL (chapter 2.2.6) and paste to channels of your choice.
 A (Copy/Paste All)
As  above, but includes all functions of a channel at the same time. This
includes input gains, AUX, fader and bus assign. This function 'clones' the
whole channel.
Tip for console setup: Set one channel to the desired status, including bus
assignment etc., create a 'super gang' by linking all input channels together,
and press  A (Copy/Paste All) twice. This will bring all linked channels
into the same status.
 (Undo/Redo)
After having copied a setting into one channel, this key will reverse the last
paste function. If a clear function has been performed, this key will reverse
the last clear function. Note that (Undo/Redo) remembers each channel's
settings. It is therefore possible to undo a function on several channels by
applying (Undo/Redo) on a gang.
There is also a shortcut for comparing settings within one channel:
• Press copy/paste in one channel twice (this copies the current value into
the clipboard and pastes it back into the channel).
• Now change to an alternate value.
• When pressing Undo/Redo, the user can toggle between the two set-
tings and compare by listening.
Note: By using the temporary function of this key, it is possible to compare
the two settings with a single key press!
