Euphonix CS3000/2000 Operation Manual
The next group of exercises and examples will require a multitrack recording
system. Multitrack returns are usually normalled to Line Input 4 (L4) and/or to
Universal Input 2 (M2) because of their unique bus/tape switching capabilities.
We will assume your multitrack is normalled to L4 on channels 1-24. If it is
not, you will need to use the appropriate source when we specify L4. First let's
set up a monitor mix on the lower faders.
Start by clearing channels 1 through 24. Press channel 1's channel block
attention key at the very top of the channel strip. Next press the [Clr] key on
the Master Control Panel. You will see the following message in the SmartDis-
play prompting you to confirm:
1CH–>
F1
Press [F3] and channel 1 will be cleared of all routing, levels will be fully
attenuated, and EQs will be zeroed.
Clearing can be done on an individual block basis as well. To do this, press the
block attention key instead of the channel attention key before pressing the
[Clr] key.
Next, copy the cleared channel 1 into channels 2 through 24. Make sure you
have attention of channel 1 by again pressing 1's channel attention key.
1CH–>
Channel Menu
F1
Press [F1] and you will see the following in the SmartDisplay asking you to
select the channels to copy to:

Copy Function
F1
Now, channel 1's contents (cleared in this case), will be copied into any
channel whose channel block attention key you press. Press channel attention
keys 2-24 or the DSC's channel/route select keys.
Like clearing, copying can also be done on an individual block-by-block basis.
To copy a block, press the block attention key instead of the channel attention
key before pressing [F1]. Pressing subsequent block keys will copy the settings
across to new blocks. If no keys are pressed after F1, the copy function will
time out and the SmartDisplay will revert to the Channel/Block menu.
