Parameters and Channel Types
Input channels can only be copied or pasted to other Input chan-
nels. Output channels can only be copied or pasted to other chan-
nels of the same type (such as Aux, Group, or Matrix). When
pasting channel settings:
• Settings common to the source and destination channel are
always pasted.
• Copied settings with no corresponding parameter in the
destination channel are ignored.
• Settings in the destination channel with no corresponding
parameters are left unchanged.
Copying and Pasting Mono and Stereo Channel
Settings
You can copy a mono channel and paste its settings to one or
more stereo channels. Mono settings are applied equally to the
left and right channels of the stereo destination. The stereo desti-
nation channel retains its current balance and width settings.
You can also copy a stereo channel and paste its settings to one or
more mono channels. The left channel settings of the stereo
source are applied to the mono channel(s). The mono destination
channel retains its current pan setting.
Settings Excluded from Copy and Paste
Input Channels The following Input channel parameters are not
copied or pasted (the current settings of the destination channels
are retained):
• Patchbay assignments, including Direct Outs
• Channel Name
• Hardware and software insert (plug-ins) assignments and
in/out state.
Output Channels The following Output channel parameters are
not copied or pasted (the current settings of the destination chan-
nels are retained):
• Patchbay assignments, including Direct Outs
• Channel Name
• Hardware and software insert (plug-in) assignments and
in/out status
• GEQ settings
• Output membership (the assignment of channels to an Aux,
Group VCA, Matrix or PQ).
Make Selected Mono Strips Stereo/Make
Selected Stereo Strip Mono
Combines two selected mono channels into a single stereo chan-
nel, or splits a selected stereo channel into two mono channels.
VENUE must be in Config mode to change the stereo status of a
channel.
Move Selected Strip
Moves a selected Channel strip from its current position to a new
location. When you move a Channel strip, other channels are
moved (and renumbered) lower or higher to accommodate the
moved channel.
VENUE must be in Config mode to move channel strips.
To move a Channel strip:
1 Put the system in Config mode.
2 Select the channel you want to move.
3 On-screen, right-click on the destination strip (where you want
to move the selected channel).
4 Choose Move Selected Strip Here from the pop-up menu. The
channel strip is moved before the destination strip.
Insert Blank Strip
The Insert Blank Strip command lets you insert one or more blank
(or “spacer”) strips anywhere among your input channels. In ad-
dition, blank strips are automatically inserted when you use the
Make Stereo command to convert two mono input channels into
a single stereo channel, preserving the channel layout.
Blank strips are strictly placeholders (no audio or any type or pro-
cessing take place), and therefore consume no additional process-
ing overhead or DSP resources.
Use blank strips to create obvious divisions between groups of in-
struments, or to optimize the bank placement of inputs on the
console.
Blank strips are saved and loaded as part of the Show file.
Blank Strips on the Console
A blank strip has no LCD channel name display, and all of its
physical controls and indicators are inactive. Blank strip faders
are set to the bottom (–inf) position and always revert to this po-
sition if moved.
To copy GEQ settings, use the copy/paste GEQ shortcut or
use GEQ Presets. Use the Replace with Mix (members) From
command to replace output membership for an Aux, Group,
VCA, Matrix or PQ.
Snapshots cannot store and recall custom console channel
positions.
You can also drag and drop channels. See “Reordering In-
put Channels Using Drag and Drop” on page 73.
