Scene memory

Reference Manual

Using the Global Paste function

“Global Paste” is a function that lets you copy and paste settings for the desired channel or

parameter from the current scene to scene data in memory (multiple selections are allowed).

This can be convenient if you want to apply changes (that you made to the current scene) to

multiple scenes that have already been stored.

NOTE

The Global Paste function will be available for a user if the SCENE LIST STORE/SORT

parameter is turned on in his or her user level settings.

NOTE

• A progress bar will be displayed as the data is being pasted.

• During the paste operation, the STOP button will appear. Press the STOP button if you want to

abort the operation. In that case, part of the data will be pasted and you will be unable to undo

the operation.

• You cannot select different parameters from different channels.
