Using [Copy To]
[Copy To] allows you to copy data from one channel to another, either within the current working
mode or to a different record target. [Copy To] works much like [Recall From], but in the opposite
direction, [Copy To] forces data to a channel from the selected channel, whereas [Recall From]
pulls it from a channel to the selected channel.
See “Using [Recall From]” on page 189.
You may copy all parameter data for selected channels, or by using the IFCB category buttons in
the ML Control display, you may copy subsets of channel data. Entire cues and cue ranges can be
copied to other locations. To only copy over intensity and parameter levels, use the {Only Levels}
softkey.
To copy over data from only active channels, use the {Only Active} softkey.
When copying entire cue(s), all timing data is copied. When referenced data is copied, if the copy
target also has data in the reference that is being copied, the target will be placed in that reference
(such as, CP 1), at its stored values. If the copy target is not included in the reference, absolute data
will be copied to the target, and not the reference.
Below are some examples of copy commands from record targets. This command is very versatile
and the following list is far from exhaustive:
• [2] [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - copies all information for channel 2 to cue 5.
• [2] [-] {Focus} [8] [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - copies all parameter data for channel 2, other
than focus, to cue 5.
• [3] [Copy to] [6] [Cue] [8] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3 to channel 6 in cue 8.
• [3] [Copy to] [4] [Thru] [9] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3 to channels 4 thru 9.
In live, you can use [Sneak] with [Copy To] to fade in the change.
For example, [1][2] [Copy To] [2] [Sneak] 7 [Enter] would copy the recorded data from
channel 12 to channel 2 and sneak it in 7 seconds.
Using the {HTP} softkey with [Copy To] will cause any intensity levels to be ignored if they are less
than or equal to the copied value.
For Example:
Channels 1 and 2 are at 50% in cue 10, and in cue 11 channel 1 is at 10% and channel 2
is at full. If you are in cue 11, and use the syntax:
• [1] [Thru] [2] [Copy To] [Cue] [1][0] {HTP} [Enter]
Channel 1 will remain at 50% and channel 2 will go to full.
N o t e : The {Only Levels} and {Only Active} softkeys can be used with [Copy To] if no
channel selection had been previously made.
