The Global Paste function enables you to copy any channel or any parameter settings for the 
current scene, then paste the data into any single or multiple scenes in memory ( page 93).NOTE• Be aware that if you copy or cut another scene before you paste, the newly copied or cut scene 
will overwrite the scene in the buffer memory.
• You cannot select multiple scenes as the copy-source.

to exclude specific channels and parameters from  recall operations. However, while the Focus 
Recall function is specified indi vidually for each scene, the Recall  Safe settings are applied to all 
scenes.

recallYou can also specify an audio file that you want to play back from a USB flash drive when a 
specific scene is recalled. This can be conveni ent if you want an effect sound or BGM to be 
played automatically in a specific scene.
NOTE
• Save audio files for playback in the SONGS folder within the YPE folder. If you save them in the root directory or in other folders, you will be unable to specify them for playback. When an audio 
file is played, the path in the TITLE LIST screen will indicate \YPE\SONGS\.
• You cannot play audio files during recording or in recording standby mode.
• A specified audio file will be played back only once, regardless of the playback mode settings.
• Audio file names must be eight characters plus three extension characters. If you change the file  name after specifying the file for playback, or if you delete or copy the file repeatedly, the specified 
file may become unrecognizable in rare cases.
NOTE• After a scene has been recalled and until the offset  time has elapsed, a countdown will appear in

Using Preview modePreview mode lets you view or edit the settings of a scene stored in memory without affecting 
the signal processing of the current scene. When you recall a scene in this mode, the settings 
of the newly recalled scene will appear on the p anel of the CL series console, but the signal 
processing of the current scene will remain as it  was prior to the recall. Even if you modify the 
settings and save them as a new scene or by ov erwriting, the signal processing of the current 
scene will remain as it was prior to the recall. During an actual performance, it can be 
convenient to use this to check the content of the scene you intend to recall next, or to make 
minor changes to a scene and then store it.

• PREVIEW mode applies to all parameters include d in scene memory, all parameters included in 
the INPUT PATCH and OUTPUT PATCH functions, and HA parameters.
