Note: Solo mode will temporarily override a mute. This guarantees that
you will always hear the Channels you solo. When you exit Solo
mode, the Channels are returned to their previous state.
Creating Groups
When you need control over more than just a stereo pair of Channels as
described earlier using the 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 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 Chan-
nel 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.
• Horns and woodwinds can be controlled together.
• Rhythm section instruments 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.
• 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.
