Moving and Copying Channels
Channels can be moved from one location to another within patch.
•
[1] [Copy To] [Copy To] [2] - moves channel 1's data to channel 2. Channel 2's data is
replaced by channel 1's. Channel 1 is unpatched.
•
[1][Copy To] [Copy To] [2][Part][2] - creates a part 2 for channel 2 and moves channel
1's data to the new part. Channel 2's data remains in part 1. Channel 1 is unpatched.
The second press of the [Copy To] key changes the command from Copy To into Move To.
Note:
Move To always impacts the entire show.
The following options are available with [Copy To]:
•
[Copy To] - copies a channel to another location within patch.
•
[Copy To] {Plus Show} - copies a channel to another location within patch and all record
targets in the show.
•
[Copy To] {Only Show} - copies a channel to another location with all record targets in
the show but not the patch data.
•
[Copy To] {Only Text} - copies only the notes and keyword fields from one channel to
another.
Swapping Channels
Channels can be swapped for each other in patch:
•
[1] {Swap} [2] [Enter]
This syntax will replace channel 1's data with channel 2's and vice versa in patch and
throughout the entire show.
Note:
Swap always impacts the entire show.
The following options are available with {Swap}:
•
{Swap} - swaps only the patched address
•
{Swap} {Plus Show} - swaps all show and patch data
•
{Swap} {Only Show} - swaps only the show data and not patch data
•
{Swap} {Plus Patch} - swaps addresses and patch data but not show data
Unpatch a Channel
To unpatch a channel while in patch you can press:
•
[n] {Unpatch} [Enter]
The {Unpatch} softkey will reset all the properties of the channel to the default. This includes
removing the device type if specified.
To retain all the elements of a channel except its address, you would instead use:
•
[n] [At] [0] [Enter]
Using [At] [0] will allow unpatched channels to still be manipulated and have data stored for
them, but they do not output any information (as they are unpatched).
