Basic operation of the QL series

Initializing settings

Here's how you can return the EQ/dynamics settings of
the currently selected channel or the effect settings of a
rack to their initial state. GEQ settings can be initialized
using the FLAT button in the screen.
1.
Access a window that contains tool buttons.
2.
Select the channel (EQ/dynamics) or rack
(effect/Premium Rack) whose settings you want
to initialize.
3.
Press the DEFAULT button.
A dialog box will ask you to confirm the Initialize
operation.
4.
Press the OK button to execute the Initialize
operation.
The EQ/dynamics settings of the channel you
selected in step 2 or the effect/processor settings of
the rack will be initialized. If you decide to cancel
the initialization, press the CANCEL button instead
of the OK button.
NOTE
In the case of EQ/dynamics, you can use the channel
number/channel name buttons in the 8ch/ALL window to
select a range of channels and initialize them
simultaneously.
Copying and pasting
settings
Here's how you can copy the EQ/dynamics settings of
the currently selected channel or the
GEQ/effect/premium rack settings of the currently
selected rack to buffer memory, and then paste them to
a different channel or rack. Copy/paste is limited to the
following combinations.
• Between input channel EQ settings
• Between output channel EQ settings
• Between dynamics processors for which the
paste-destination has the same type (GATE,
DUCKING, COMPRESSOR, EXPANDER,
COMPANDER-H, COMPANDER-S, or DE-ESSER) as
the copy-source
• Between effects/GEQ mounted in a rack
• Between the same processors mounted in a premium
rack
NOTE
Only 31BandGEQ settings that use less than fifteen bands
can be copied to a Flex15GEQ.
1.
Access a window that contains tool buttons.
2.
Select the channel (EQ/dynamics) or rack
(GEQ/effect/premium rack) whose settings you
want to copy.

3.
Press the COPY button.
The current settings will be copied to buffer
memory.
NOTE
• Be aware that if you copy other settings before you paste,
the buffer memory will be overwritten.
• You can select only one channel or rack as the
copy-source. If multiple channels are selected in the
8ch/ALL window, you won't be able to press the COPY
button.
4.
Select the paste-destination channel or rack.
NOTE
If you're pasting EQ/dynamics settings, you can use the
8ch/ALL window to select multiple channels as the
paste-destination. In this case, the same content will be
pasted to all selected channels.
5.
Press the PASTE button.
The settings of the channel (EQ/dynamics) or the
rack (GEQ/effect/premium rack) you selected in
step 2 will be pasted.
NOTE
• Be aware that when you paste, the settings will overwrite
the paste-destination.
• If nothing has been copied to the buffer memory, the
PASTE button cannot be used (is ghosted).
• Of the two types of GEQ, using the tool buttons in a rack
where a Flex15GEQ is selected will cause rack settings A
and B to be copied/pasted individually.
• You cannot paste effect settings that use effect types
