Copying And Swapping Mix Data - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

The Mix System
When you are satisfied that the join parameters have been set up correctly, stab on OK
and Joining ... , plus a progress indicator, will appear in the status bar while the mix
data is merged.
Subject to the setting of Always/New Pass – Play/New Pass in the Fader Status pop-
up (see Page 5-51), the join function will (Always/New Pass) create a new mix pass
prefixed with the letter J. If this option is set to Play/New Pass, the system simply
merges the chosen data into your current mix. If you want to keep your current mix
version, it should be saved to disk before using the Join to Mix function.

Copying and Swapping Mix Data

Mix data can be freely copied or swapped from one channel to another. This is carried
out via the Copy And Swap Channel Data pop-up located under Copy/Swap in the
RECALL menu.
Note that both Copy and Swap functions work with the current automation data,
regardless of whether this has yet become a mix pass or not.
Select Copy/Swap and the screen will look similar to the lower screen opposite. Note
that, in addition to mix data, various other types of channel information can be
copied/swapped from here. Select a tick for Automation data and any other
element(s) that you wish to be included in the copy/swap. Leave a cross for all other
entries in the list.
If you have transferred data from one facility to another, you may well want to select
additional elements to copy or swap. This is particularly relevant when the facility you
are working in now has a different size of console, or the console has a different layout
to the one you started out in.
You can elect to carry out a Single or Multiple Copy by toggling the box to the upper
right of the pop-up. For a Single Copy, select the channel you wish to copy the data
from by stabbing on the left hand Channel in the banner at the top of the pop-up. A
numeric keypad will appear for entry of the channel number. Alternatively, press the
Large Fader status button for the same result. Stab on the right hand Channel to enter
the destination channel number, or use the Large Fader status button as before.
For a Multiple Copy of data from one channel to several others, enter the source
channel as above. To specify the destination channels, stab on Multiple Channels and
enter your selections into the Channel Selector (if you are not familiar with this
pop-up, see Section 1). To select a sequential range of channels, simply hold down the
fader status button of the first and press the button on the last.
When you are satisfied with your source and destination selection(s) stab on Do It to
complete the operation.
