Group
[Group] allows you to store groups of channels at proportional levels. When you
select a group, the
Expression Show Control System selects its channels. If you
then press [At] and enter a level, the console enters a percentage of the group’s
recorded levels. If you press [Enter] instead of [At], the group’s proportional
levels are imposed on the channels’ current levels.
The level control strip then adjusts levels in the same proportions at which you
recorded the group’s channels.
For example, assume you save channels 1 through 9 at full and channels 10
through 20 at 50 percent. When you adjust the level control strip, channels 1
through 9 are twice the intensity of channels 10 through 20. In other words,
[Group] retains the channels’ relative levels.
If you continue to increase the intensity levels after channels with the highest
relative level reach full, the relative levels are distorted. Channel levels continue
to increase until all channels are at full.
For complete instructions on using [Group], see page 83.
Example
[Group] [1] [Enter] selects group 1.
Numbering groups
The sum of groups and cues in a show cannot exceed 400. However, you can
use any numbers between 1 and 999, to number groups. Group numbers are
independent of cue numbers.
