Creating Groups
When you need control over more than just a stereo pair of Channels
as described earlier using the Stereo Link function, you can use the
Group function to control multiple Channels. Up to three Groups can
be created per user Preset. This means that every Personal Mixer can
have up to forty-eight different Groups saved by using all sixteen user
mix Presets.
A Group can consist of any number of Channels, but Groups cannot
overlap. That is, one Group cannot contain Channels that are part
of another Group. Mono or linked stereo Channels can be part of a
Group.
As you create a Group, the Channel volume and pan settings of each
Channel added to a Group are retained. This helps to keep the overall
blend of Channels that are part of a Group even while you adjust the
Group’s overall volume. The V
OLUME
control changes the overall level
of the Group.
Some examples of Groups in use:
• A Group allows background vocal parts from six
singers to be adjusted together.
• All the drums in a live drum kit can be combined to
a single stereo mix for easy adjustment for the guitar
player, while the drummer retains individual control
over each drum in his mix.
• Multiple stereo keyboards can be combined into one
source.
Creating and editing Groups is done in the Group Mode. To create
your first Group:
• Start by selecting a Channel that you want to be
included in the Group.
• Press the dedicated G
ROUP
button on the left side of the
Personal Mixer or Control Surface.
• Its red Group LED will begin to flash indicating that
you can now edit the Group.
• Double-click the Channel buttons to include a Channel
in the Group.
• Channels that are added to the Group will flash their
upper red LED to indicate that they are now part of the
Group.
To Save your Group, simply press the G
ROUP
button again. The Group
