Groups

You can use the Group features to make mixdown chores

easier. For example, if you assign all of your drum chan-

nels to the same Fader Group, you can adjust the levels of

all the drums together just by moving one of the faders.

What’s more, the relative balance of all channels is pre-

served—even when fading out!

Channels can also be put in Mute Groups, leting you

instantly turn all assigned channels on/off. And remember

that Fader Groups and Mute Groups are completely inde-

pendent—any channel can be assigned to either or both.

Fader Groups

Channels assigned to the same fader Group can all be

changed together simultaneously, simply by adjusting the

fader of one of the assigned channels.

■ Operation

q Press the [GROUP] button, repeatedly if necessary, to

call up the Group Enable display.

w Make sure that the Groups you intend to assign are all

enabled.

The four fader Groups are labeled A, B, C and D. If

necessary, use the corresponding knobs (1 - 4) to set the

desired Groups to “ENA” (enable).

e Press the [GROUP] button again (twice) to call up the

Fader Group display.

r Assign each channel to the desired Group (A - D) by

using the corresponding channel knob.

If the channel is one of a pair, the setting will automati-

cally be made for both channels.

• The Pair setting (described on page 54) can also be set from the

CHANNEL PAIR display in the Group pages here. (For details,

see page 102.)

Mute Groups

Channels assigned to the same Mute Group can all be

turned on and off together simultaneously, simply by

pressing the [ON] button of one of the assigned channels.

■ Operation

q Press the [GROUP] button, repeatedly if necessary, to

call up the Group Enable display.

w Make sure that the Groups you intend to assign are all

enabled.

The four Mute Groups are labeled E, F, G and H. If

necessary, use the corresponding knobs (5 - 8) to set the

desired Groups to “ENA” (enable).

e Press the [GROUP] button repeatedly to call up the

Mute Group display.

r Assign each channel to the desired Group (E - H) by

using the corresponding channel knob.

If the channel is one of a pair, the setting will automati-

cally be made for both channels.

• The Group function can be a handy arranging tool or even a

composition technique—particularly with looped-based music or

long repeating sections. Assign similar tracks to the same

groups, and make sure one of each group is represented on the

current set of channels (ex., 1 - 8). Then work the four ‘master’

faders and [ON] buttons while the music is playing, and create an

arrangement in real time.
