Ganging
A multi-level ‘VCA’ style ganging system is supported for faders.
Setting Up Gang Structures
To setup a gang structure press the GANG/LINKS key in the FADERS GLOBAL CONTROL panel.
The key’s green LED will flash. The displays for all strips (including master group aux faders) will flash
‘Ganging’.
To select a master press and hold down the ACCESS key on the selected strip. The key’s LED will illuminate.
To select slaves hold down ACCESS key in the strip and touch the faders for the chosen slaves. The key’s LED will
illuminate.
In the status display to the left of the fader SLV will illuminate green confirming its selection as a slave. In the
status display to the left of the fader MST will illuminate red confirming its selection as master.
To select submasters press the ACCESS key of the desired submaster and touch the fader of the strip/s which will
be the submaster’s slave/s. The submaster’s status display will illuminate MST red and SLV green at the same
time. The slave will illuminate SLV green.
To deselect slaves/masters/submasters hold down the ACCESS key of the master and touch the faders for the
faders to be deselected. As each fader is touched the SLV display will cease to be illuminated - when all slaves
have been de-selected the MST display will cease to be illuminated.
To save the Gang Structure press the KEEP DESK key in the utility panel.
Linking Controls
It is possible to link controls between paths, so that changing the value of a process on one path, affects the
same parameter on other paths in the link.
To set up a control link, you must first put the desk in LINKING mode. This is done by either pressing the
Gangs/Links key twice, or holding SHIFT and then pressing Gangs/Links once. All the alphas will flash the word
LINKING.
To set the scope for a link, press and hold the Access key for the desired path, then press the CLEAR key. This
resets the scope of the link to include all controls for that path. When you then press a process key in the centre of
the channel strip, the scope is cleared down to include only that process, and subsequent process key presses
will add those elements into scope. By displaying a process on the channel strip, it is also possible to add or
subtract individual controls by using the adjacent Mode keys by each logicator. Both the mode keys and the
process keys will illuminate red to show when that element is included in scope.
Once the scope has been set, press and hold the Access key on the source path then press the Access keys for
those paths to be included in the link. The relevant process keys and mode keys will light to show that it has been
included in the link.
To add an offset between linked elements:
For controls - hold the SHIFT key and adjust the required control.
For faders - hold any other fader in the link, then adjust the required fader.
Press KEEP DESK to ensure that the links are saved with the desk setup.
