5.7: GANGS
OPS OVERVIEW > GANGS
Gang is a very helpful feature to speed up operations that influence functions on multiple input channels, or on output
busses, in the same way. Any parameter change on ganged channels will be applied to all other ganged channels as
an offset. For example, adding 4dB of level to an aux send on one channel will add 4dB of level to the corresponding
Aux sends on all other ganged channels - it will not ‘copy’ the actual level to the other ganged channels.
Button presses will change any corresponding buttons in ganged channels that are not currently in the new state, to
the new state. From that point on, further presses will result in all switches changing state together.
Gang mode is activated and deactivated with the [GANG] button. You add or remove channels to or from the gang
with the channel [SOLO/SEL] buttons.
Entering Gang Mode does not cancel any solos of any type that are active at the time. The Solo system continues to
work as it was when Gang Mode was switched ON. The amber ‘Solo’ illumination of the Solo/Sel switches cannot be
seen whilst gang mode is ON.
Gang Button
Activate or deactivate Gang Mode.
After activating Gang Mode, hold the [GANG] button down to Gang all channels.
You can leave Gang Mode pressing the [Gang] button. If you haven’t ‘cleared down’ the gang then it will be re-
stored the next time you re-enter Gang Mode.
Select (Gang)
Select and deselect ganged channels.
When in Gang Mode you can add single channels by pressing individual channels' [SOLO/SEL] buttons OR you
can add a range of channels by pressing the first and last channels' [SOLO/SEL] buttons together.
Press & Hold any [SOLO/SEL] button to clear down the entire gang (recommended after use to avoid accidental
operation of Gang mode).
When in a gang, a channel’s [SOLO/SEL] button will glow blue.
