Basically any operation on one of the ganged channels will influence all of
them. Changing switches will overwrite the same switch on the other
channels, while adjusting a audio function with a certain range will adjust
all other channels in a relative manner. Setting all channels to the same
value is accomplished by a copy/paste operation on one of the ganged
channels.
Setting Up the Console For setup application there is a fast way to link all channels of the same
type together. Pressing LINK ALL followed by pressing the LINK/SEL key of
one channel will gang all channels of that very same type together (e.g. all
input channels). The gang may exceed the visible channels and may also
contain channels in other sections. While having that gang active, you may
setup your console within seconds: Changing bus assignment, clearing one
channel or copy/paste certain values to any of these channels.
1.1.4 Copy/Paste
Copying certain audio settings across the console is made very fast and
easy: Each channel strip hosts copy/paste keys dedicated to a certain audio
function, as EQ, dynamics, etc. Pressing one of these keys will make it
fully lit, while all possible destination channels (channels that also have
this same audio function) will show up half-lit. Selecting anyone of them
will paste the value into that channel. It is possible to paste a value to mul-
tiple channels with the help of the MULTI SEL key or by creating a gang.
However, there is a shortcut to paste a value to multiple channels located
next to each other: Press and hold the 2 (Copy/Paste) key of the first
channel while pressing the 2 (Copy/Paste) key on the last channel. This
will paste the value to all channels in between.
There is also a special 2 A (Copy/Paste All) key to copy a whole channel
including bus assignment, as well as a
(Undo/Redo) key to undo the last
paste or clear function on each channel separately. Pressing this key after
an undo operation again will redo the last copy.
Note: The
(Undo/Redo) key can be used momentarily (long press) in order to
compare settings on a channel:
1 Press the 2 (Copy/Paste) key twice in order to “memorize” the current
setting (i.e., by pasting it to itself)
2 Adjust the audio function to an alternative setting
3 Press (Undo/Redo) multiple times (either short or long) in order to
compare the two settings.
Half-Lit Keys Whenever the console is waiting for a key press in order to finish a func-
tion, it will illuminate all possible keys by half. This is a guide for the user
– so he can select one of these keys, or reverse the function by pressing the
first (fully lit) key again. A timeout applies if none of the half-lit keys are
pressed within a given time frame. Timeout duration is adjustable in the
“Vista Desk Settings” menu on the GC.
Examples:
2 (Copy/Paste) → 2 (Copy/Paste),
LINK ALL → LINK/SEL,
Setup of control groups, etc.
