Section 8: Grouping System & Fader Linking
8 - 12 Euphonix CS3000/2000 Operation Manual
To delete all groups, press the DSC [ Clr ] key above the SpinKnob while in the
Group Select menu. Do not select a group master before you press [ Clr ]. You
will be prompted for confirmation:
F3 F1 F2 F4
Pressing [ F3 ] will delete all groups. [ F4 ] will abort this maneuver.
Group setups and levels are currently stored with each mix. Groups are NOT
stored with SnapShots so each time a mix is saved, so is the current console
grouping. When loading a mix the group settings will be recalled. When you
save a title you also save (if you answer “Yes” to the prompt) the current mix
with its grouping. When a title is recalled the last mix will be loaded together
with the group settings from that mix. If you haven’t saved any mixes, an
“Untitled Mix” will store your group settings, and when this title is recalled
with its untitled mix, the group settings will come back.
The current software supports one level of grouping. In other words, a fader
may be slaved to no more than one master and a master cannot be a slave to
another master. As mentioned, when selecting master and slave faders, any
fader assigned to another group shows a red LED at the top of its meter. This
indicates that the fader is unavailable for selection because it is part of
another group.
Through their group masters, groups have full access to the solo modes
available to the rest of the console, and can be soloed according to the same
basic principles that have already been described. For more information on
solo modes, refer to earlier exercises in this section of the manual. Below are
some quick descriptions of solo modes and how they relate specifically to
groups.
Groups are defined by their fader status and therefore PFLing a group master
will have no effect. If you press the PFL key on the group master, nothing will
happen. If the master fader is set to Independent, the PFL will give you a pre-
fader listen of the fader’s own audio path. You can, however, PFL the individual
slaves in a group.
When AFL mode is set, pressing the AFL key on the group master fader will
AFL the slaves in that group. The groups must be ON and the group system in
Master mode. If the group system is in INDependent mode, the fader is
dedicated to its own DCA and therefore the AFL will solo only that DCA and
none of the slave faders. As with ordinary AFL the level of the signal feeding
the monitors is controlled by the AFL level pot in the Solo block. Note that this
