Q: How do I use the Copy & Paste function on a Vi Series console?
  EXAMPLE 1: COPYING A WHOLE CHANNEL, INCLUDING THE ‘IN1 PATCH’
PARAMETER


Answer:
Press [COPY] to enter Copy Mode
Press [Solo/SEL] button on required input channel to select it to the clipboard.
Touch the Input touch field on the channel strip with a long press (2s) to enter the 'zoom' mode for the input parameters. Notice that only the Trim, Filters and Delay parameter are already selected (indicated by yellow text).
Touch the encoder (or press the adjacent Vistonics button) in the IN1 PATCH field to add the patch parameter to the copied items. (the IN1 PATCH text changes to yellow to indicate selection)
Press PASTE and select the destination channel(s) to paste the selected channel including the patch setting.


EXAMPLE 2: COPYING FX PARAMETERS

Answer:
Parameter settings from any of the 8 internal Lexicon FX units can be copied from one device and pasted to another.

To make selection of the source and destination units easy, a set of 8 FX-select encoders appears on the central screen in both Copy and Paste modes. The selection is made by either touching the relevant encoder or pressing the corresponding Vistonics button beside the encoder.

Alternatively, if the FX unit is assigned to a channel or bus and is therefore visible on the channel or bus strip, then the source and destination units can be selected by touching the FX block on the channel strip.

Note that only the parameters relating to the currently active FX Type are copied and pasted for each unit – so for example if LEX1 is currently set to the Small Hall FX type, then only the Small Hall parameters will be copied, if LEX1 is selected to copy.

When the settings are pasted to another unit, the target unit will have its FX Type changed to Small Hall, and only the Small Hall parameters will be pasted. None of the other 28 FX Types within the target FX unit will have their settings changed.



To copy an FX unit’s settings to the clipboard:
Press [COPY]
Select the required FX Unit, either using the FX Select Encoders displayed in the central screen, or touching the FX unit’s icon on the Channel or Bus strip, if one has been assigned and is visible on the strip.
Parameters are copied to the clipboard
Press [PASTE]
Select the destination FX unit by touching the required FX Select Encoder (or adjacent button) in the central screen.
OR
touching any touch field on the target channel or bus strip.
OR
pressing [SOLO/SEL] on the target channel or bus.
The FX unit settings on the clipboard are immediately copied to the destination FX unit.
The operation can be undone by pressing [UNDO], before exiting Paste mode.
End the function by pressing [PASTE] again.

Q: What is the Libraries functionality?
  Answer:
The Libraries functionality enables various elements of the console, eg EQ section, Dynamics section, or complete channels and busses, to be copied from the desk and stored in the Library system.
Later these items can be retrieved and pasted from the Library to any destination channel or bus on the console.

The ability to export complete Libraries or individual entries to a USB stick allows you to extract saved items from the console and later import them to another console.

For more information on the Libraries functionality, please refer to the Vi6 User Guide 'Chapter 18 Copy Paste & Libraries.' Click here for download.
