8.5 Copying A Scene
Any scene may be copied to any other page / scene number.
To copy a scene press;
[RECORD] (COPY). The display reads “CPy”.
Use the PAGE key and the scene S/A keys to select the source page and scene number.
When the source scene number S/A key is pressed, the display will briefly scroll,
“Scn”, “x.yy” (page/scene number), “to”
Use the PAGE key and the scene S/A keys to select the destination page and scene number.
Submasters containing Scenes are lit . Submasters containing Chases flash rapidly. Empty
Submasters are not lit. This acts as a warning to you of existing scene and chase numbers in each
page.
When the destination scene number S/A key is pressed, the display will briefly confirm the page and scene
number of the copy.
Note; When you make a copy of a scene, any scene (or chase) that is currently in the destination
number will be overwritten by the copy.
The copy process may be abandoned at any time prior to entering the destination scene number by pressing;
[RECORD], (COPY) a second time. That is, deselecting it.
Hint; In a show or performance, the transition from one scene to the next will often only involve a
change of a few channels. The majority of channels will remain the same. If this is the case, it is
quickest to make a copy of the first scene and then edit the copy to create the next scene. This
method ensures that any channels that are to be the same in both scenes will have identical levels.

If required, repeatedly press [PAGE] until the required page number is displayed, then;
