Channel Copy

You can use the Link function while editing to help set up identical curves on both channels. But at some point the curves may need to diverge slightly (or significantly). Rather than unlinking the channels and starting all over again on Channel B, we have included a handy feature called Channel Copy as a subset of Store mode.

The Channel Copy feature is a real time-saver. It will allow the settings from Channel A to be stored over whatever settings are in Channel B, so that after the completion of the Store process there will be no difference between the settings of Channels A and B for that program. Then you can begin to diversify the settings of the channels to match the needs of the incoming audio.

The process is simple, but it is subtly different from the normal

Store procedure. Pay close attention to the following steps:

1.Before storing the program, unlink the channels. That way you’ll be able to begin editing Channels A and B independently as soon as you complete step 7.

2.Press and hold the [STORE] button to enter Store mode. The Numeric LED Display will begin to flash.

3.While holding the [STORE] button, press the [LINK/EXIT] button. This will cause the Link LED to begin flashing also.

4.Release both buttons.

5.Select the location for the new program using the methods described on the previous page.

6.To abort the Store procedure, press the [LINK/EXIT] button. The settings for Channel A will not have been copied over to Channel B.

7.To store the program, press the [STORE] button a second time. The settings for Channel A will have been duplicated on Channel B. To confirm this, toggle the [LINK/EXIT] button. You should see no difference between the settings of the channels. Even the Channel Level settings of Channel B should match that of Channel A.
