Channel LED should be lit. Next, press the M
UTE
button to silence the Channel. The
Channel’s lower (yellow) LED will light to indicate that it is muted. Select any other
Channels that you want to mute and follow the same procedure to remove them from
the current mix.
Unmute a Channel
Once a Channel is muted, you can follow this simple procedure to clear the mute:
• Select the muted Channel. (It should have the yellow LED in its button
lit.)
• Press the M
UTE
button.
• The yellow LED will go out.
• To clear mutes on other Channels, continue selecting Channels, fol-
lowed by pressing the M
UTE
button to clear the mutes.
Save the Preset with the mutes, if desired.
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 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.
• Horns and woodwinds can be controlled together.
