Copy/Paste in Astro Saber 5.03?

Post by Spiffy50 »

Does anyone know if it is possible to copy and paste a zone within CPS 5.03? That is to say, take the contents of one zone and paste it into another, sort of like a "zone merge" type of thing? I'm trying to take all the channels in 5 zones and combine them into one. I'd rather not have to re-enter everything :)

Are you trying to take 5 zones of 16 channels each and make one big 80 channel zone?

Channel Pick list is the only thing that comes to mind. Save your plug and don't be afraid to experiment.

As for what I'm trying to do, I currently have the radio set up that the top knob does Channel Select and Zone is done via the menu (so "unlimited" zones with 16 channels). I want to change this to have Zone Select via the top knob and Channel done via the menu ("unlimited" channels with 16 zones).

There are 5 zones right now with 10 channels in each. I want to make one big zone with all the channels from those 5 zones, so instead of 5 zones with 10 channels, I'd have 1 zone with 50 channels.

Never tried the Channel Pick List, that might be an idea. I just ended up re-entering everything. With the "Fill Value Down" option, it really didn't take long at all to do. Thanks for the suggestions!
