Offset
You can use the {Offset} softkey to aid in channel selection prior to storing groups. The offset
options are {Odd}, {Even}, {Reverse}, and {Random}. For example:
• [1] [Thru] [9] {Offset} {Odd} [Record] [Group] [5] - records all odd numbered channels
between 1 and 9 to Group 5.
• [1] [Thru] [2] [0] {Offset} {Reverse} [Record] {Group 3} - records channels 1-20, in reverse
order, to Group 3 using the direct selects.
Editing and Updating Groups in Live
Existing groups can be updated or re-recorded in Live. If you re-record an existing group, a
confirmation is required (unless disabled in “Setup”). By re-recording a group, you replace the
contents of the group, you do not add to it. Updating a group does not require a confirmation and
adds channels to the group, rather than replacing them.
Other editing or updating examples are:
• [Group] [x] [Label] [Label] [Enter] - clears the label.
• [Group] [x] [Label] [name] [Enter] - stores a new label.
• [1] [Thru] [5] [Update] [Group] [n] [Enter] - adds channel 1-5 to existing Group n.
For record examples, please see Recording Groups Live, page 162 .
Selecting Groups
Groups may be selected from the control keypad or the direct selects.
To select a group:
• [Group] [1] [Enter] - selects all channels in Group 1
• [Group] [1] [At] [5] <0> [Enter] - selects Group 1 and places all channels within at 50%
• {Group 1} - Selects all channels in Group 1
If [Next] is used after a group selection, it accesses the first ordered channel in that group. Pressing
it again accesses the second ordered channel in that group, and so on. [Next] - used after the last
channel in the group - accesses the first channel in the group again.
[Last] may be used with group selects similar to [Next]. Press [Select Last] to reselect the entire
group.
Deleting Groups
When you delete a group, the group number and all contents from the Group List Index and Direct
Selects are deleted. Delete commands require a confirmation by default. This can be altered in the
default settings. If you disable confirmations, the second enter is not required in the following
examples:
Group deletion features include:
• [Delete] [Group] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes group 5.
• [Delete] [Group] [3] [+] [Group] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes groups 3 and 5.
• [Delete] [Group] [3] [Thru] [9] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes groups 3 through 9.
• [2] [Delete] [Group] [7] [Enter] - deletes channel 2 from group 7.
