• If you set the focus to a Sound or Group which is not selected, both the focus and the selection

are moved to this new Sound or Group.

• If you set the focus to a Sound or Group which is already included in the current selection, the

focus is moved to this new Sound or Group but the selection is preserved. This notably allows

you to check the parameters of any selected Sound or Group while keeping the ability to modify

parameters for the entire selection.

What Is Affected by the Multiple Selection, and How?

When multiple Sounds or multiple Groups are selected, any change in the following settings of the

focused Sound/Group will be mirrored in the other selected Sounds/Groups, respectively:

•

Channel properties

: Parameter adjustments apply to all selected Sounds/Groups for any

parameter in any set of Channel properties. See chapter

Audio Routing, Remote Control, and

Macro Controls

for more information on the Channel properties.

•

Plug-ins

: Parameter adjustments apply to all selected Sounds/Groups that have the same Plug-

in loaded in the same Plug-in slot. See chapter

Working with Plug-ins

for more information on

Plug-ins.

•

Pad view

: Base key, Choke group, and Link group settings apply to all selected Sounds.

• You can

move

multiple Sound slots or multiple Groups at once. See section

Moving Sounds

and

Moving Groups

for more information.

• You can

reset

multiple Sound slots and

delete

multiple Groups at once. See section

for more information.

The adjustments made in the Assignment area are never mirrored in any other selected

Sound/Group.

Furthermore, the exact influence on the equivalent parameter in the affected Sounds/Groups

depends on the type of parameter:

• Continuous parameters (knob): the values in all selected Sounds/Groups are incremented/

decremented by the same amount as the value in the focused Sound/Group. Values are clipped

when they reach their range limit.

• Discrete parameter (button or selector): the values in all selected Sounds/Groups are set to the

value of the focused Sound/Group.
