Proceed as follows:
1. In the All Templates list, select the template (panel) you
want to copy.
2. Select the panel elements that you want to copy and
press [Ctrl]/[Command]+[C].
When selecting various elements with the mouse, it can happen that the
order of the elements gets lost. To avoid this, select the complete panel
with [Ctrl]/[Command]+[A] to preserve this information during copying.
3. Open another template (or add a new panel) for this or
another device.
4. Paste the copied elements into the new template.
Only the graphic elements are transferred. If you click on an element, the
message “Not Assigned” will be displayed in the second text line below
the Edit area.
Creating complex panels
If you want to create a complex panel, it is useful to set up
panels and parameters at channel (subnode) levels and
then combine them in one large panel, instead of simply
putting all parameters in one panel. (The parameters can
always be moved to another subnode in the Device win-
dow, if necessary.)
Creating subpanels
1. Let’s start with a device called e.g. “MotifMixer” with
16 identical channels and the main volume as parameter.
2. Add a channel strip panel with the name “Channel” to
the first channel. To this, add a background and a volume
slider and assign the parameter CC: Main Volume to the
latter.
Since you have 16 identical channels, the panel now
exists for every channel of the MIDI device, with the re-
spective parameter assigned. To see this, click on the re-
spective channel node – you will find that the Channel
panel is available in the Views area of all channels.
