Cue and Track Lists
Alternatively stab in the box next to a Track/Channel number, and the QWERTY pop-
up will appear. Enter a name and press END. Note that a useful list of keywords has
been provided to save to much typing. See Section 1 for more on the QWERTY
pop-up.
You can combine use of the computer front panel buttons with either of the methods
above. The cursor keys move you around the list and the OK button is equivalent to
the Enter key. If you are going to use the keywords list on the QWERTY pop-up as the
basis of your list, operating the front panel buttons with your right hand and stabbing
on keywords with the pen in your left hand makes for very quick name entry (after a
bit of practice! – ed.).
The Copy Tracks function enables Track List information to be copied into a Channel
List. Unless you have cross-patched the entire 48 tracks, this will make a useful
starting point for the Channel List. Select Copy Tracks and a Copy Configuration
pop-up will appear (see opposite). Stab on a box in the Machine column (one box for
each machine port) that corresponds to the Track List you wish to copy. Select Direct
for user-selectable mapping of the copy or Sony 9-pin for channel-to-record mapping
from the MACHINES/Serial display pop-up. (If this latter statement confuses you,
just select Direct and read on!)
If you select Direct, a numeric pop-up will appear allowing you to specify the number
of tracks to copy. Enter the number (usually 48) and hit OK. Now stab on the relevant
Chan box to enter the channel number into which the first copied track will be
entered, or in other words, onto which of the three Channel Lists. Hit OK. Finally hit
OK again to effect the copy.
To delete entries in the Track or Channel lists, select Delete and then stab on the entry
you wish to delete. No confirmation will be requested. If you stab and drag to select
multiple track/channel names for deletion, you will be asked to confirm.
To clear a Track or Channel List from the screen, simply stab outside the pop-up or
deselect the CHANNEL NAMES button.
Other items in the Desk Setup menu will be described as and when necessary.
