You can also use menu functions to copy Screensets via the Clipboard: Switch to the
Screenset you would like to copy, and select Windows > Screensets > Copy Screenset,
then type in the Screenset number that you wish to copy to, and select Windows >
Screensets > Paste Screenset
.

You can also copy individual Screensets between different songs using this method. To
import all Screensets from another song, please make use of the File > Song Settings >
Import Settings
option.

Reverting to a Stored Screenset

The Revert to Current Screenset key command resets your screen to its state prior to
importing the current Screenset.

Recalling Screensets 1 to 9

Screensets 1 to 9 can be recalled by freely-defined key and MIDI remote commands,
not only the number keys. This allows you to define the number keys for other
purposes, such as toggling windows on and off, as described above. The 1 to 9 key
commands are called Recall Screenset 1 (…9, respectively) in the Key Commands
window.

Sequencer Controlled Screenset Switching

You can automatically switch Screensets through the use of meta event # 49—just add
it to a MIDI Regionin the Event Editor.

To switch a Screenset automatically:

1

Set the song position to the point where you’d like the Screenset to change.

2

Hold down Command and click in the Event Editor on the button shown below.

3

The inserted meta event has a default value of 50 (Song Select).

4

Alter the number in the NUM column from 50 to 49. This changes the name to
Screenset.

5

Input the desired Screenset number in the (VAL) column.

You can stop the switching by muting the MIDI Region that contains the meta 49
event.
