Tools
The Tools menu in the Group Controls dialog box contains four options:
z Clear All Groups — Clicking this option clears all group members and group master
parameters.
z Increment/Decrement Simulator — Clicking this option allows you to test the
increment and decrement values (see below for more information).
z
Refresh All Group Data — Clicking this option refreshes the group control data.
z Group Details Report — Clicking this option generates a report that lists all group
masters and group membership.
The Increment/Decrement Simulator allows you to set the increment and decrement
values, providing control of increment and decrement adjustment. This control is
temporary because the increment or decrement value is not stored in the device. The
default value is 1.
To use the Increment/Decrement Simulator:
1. From the View menu, select Group Controls.
The Group Controls dialog box opens.
2. From the Tools menu, select Increment/
Decrement Simulator. The Inc/Dec Simulator
dialog box opens. The controls and settings in the
dialog box are unavailable until you select a group.
3. From the Select Group drop-down list, select the
group for which to test the increment and
decrement values.
4. Enter an increment value and a decrement value into the associated Increment
Value field and Decrement Value field, as needed. The default value is 1. For
gain controls, you can enter a value up to 0.1 dB resolution.
5. Click the Increment button and Decrement button as needed. The group master
control increases or decreases, respectively, by the set value to the top or bottom of its
soft limit range
Soft Limits
Each gain control type provides upper and lower soft limits that can be used to limit the
range of the group master control. When you create a group master, these soft limits
default to the inherent "hard" limits of that particular control (the upper and lower limits
defined by that control).
Soft limits can be defined using the
following methods.
z Click and drag the soft limit handle
(see image at right).
The soft limit resolution is 0.1 dB.
z Click within the relevant Group
Master fader areas (program
volume, mic volume, output bass,
output treble) to bring focus to the
fader, then use the following key
combinations.
