48 Chapter 5—Building Configurations
DME32—Owner’s Manual
The DSP power meter rises as components are added to the configuration. Note that
unused components waste DSP processing power and should be deleted. Another way
to conserve DSP power is to use the simplest component necessary to get the job done.
Don’t, for example, use a mixer component to control a signal level when a Fader com-
ponent is all that’s really required.
Components in a configuration can be repositioned simply by dragging. When compo-
nents with wires attached are moved, the wires move as well, so there is no need for any
rewiring. Components can be moved individually or in multiples. To select multiple
components, hold down the Shift key and select with the mouse, or click in a blank area
next to one of the components to be selected and then drag around the components to
be selected.
Use the Align command to align components to the grid. See “Aligning Components to
the Grid” on page 49. Use the Zoom command to see components in detail or zoom
out to see more of a configuration. See “Zooming Configuration Windows” on page 50.
The last component addition can be undone by using the Undo command, which
appears in both the Edit and Shortcut menus.
Up to 160 of the same component can be added to any one configuration (e.g., 160
“Fader 4” components). When a component is deleted, its number is lost for good, so
if, for example, you add 160 “Fader 4” components and then delete 10, you cannot add
another 10 even though there are now only 150.
Editing Components
Listed below are the edit functions that can be used when editing components. Com-
ponents can be selected for editing simply by clicking. Multiple components can be
selected by holding down the Shift key and selecting with the mouse, or by clicking in
a blank area next to one of the components to be selected and then dragging around the
components to be selected.
The last component edit can be undone by using the Undo command, which appears
in both the Edit and Shortcut menus.
• Components can be cut from the configuration and placed in the Clipboard by using
the Cut command, which appears in both the Edit and Shortcut menus.
• Components can be copied to the Clipboard by using the Copy command, which
appears in both the Edit and Shortcut menus.
• Components in the Clipboard can be pasted into the configuration by using the Paste
command, which appears in both the Edit and Shortcut menus.
• Components can be duplicated by using the Duplicate command, which appears in
both the Edit and Shortcut menus.
• Components can be deleted by using the Delete command, which appears in both the
Edit and Shortcut menus.
• Component appearance, size, color, title, and so on, can be customized. See “Custom-
izing Component Properties” on page 80.
