You can also select "empty" if you do not wish to assign a channel to a
particular Strip.
Multiple Channel Strips can be selected in several ways:
• By double-clicking on any Strip will select the entire Layer;
• by holding down the left-hand trackball key and dragging the cursor
over the desired Strips;
• By clicking on the first Strip in a series, holding down the Shift key
and clicking on the last desired Strip will select all the Strips within
that range;
• By clicking the center trackball key on the first Strip in a series and
dragging the cursor over the desired range;
By holding down the Ctrl key and then clicking on the desired Strips.
•
When multiple Strips have been highlighted, channels will be assigned
staring with the first one selected and continue in order over the range of
highlighted Strips or until the remaining channels of that type have been
assigned.
Channels that have been assigned will be indicated by a checkmark to the
left of the channel name in the pop-up menu.
Channel assignments can be copied to a clipboard by highlighting a Strip
or a range of Strips and clicking Copy from the channel selection menu
(right-hand trackball key). These assignments may then be pasted to other
Strip locations. This is accomplished by highlighting the destination
Strip(s) and clicking Paste in the channel selection menu. The same clip-
board may be pasted to multiple locations if desired. Keyboard shortcuts
are provided for these clipboard functions: Copy (Ctrl+c); Paste (Ctrl+v).
Here are some useful facts about the process:
• Any channel can be assigned to any Channel Strip on any Layer of any
Bank;
• Any channel can be assigned more than once to several different
Channel Strips, on any Layer, of any Bank – a feature that allows a
configuration in which Masters Channels, for example, always are on
top layer(s);
• It is not necessary to assign all channels available in a configuration,
however, control of these channels will be limited to the CAS.
• Regardless of how you assign the signal sources to channel strips,
there is no change in audio signals within the console – you can per-
form this modification at any time.
