4.13.4 Group Setup Mode Functions
■
Group Edit
The Group Edit mode is used to:
• Create a new group
• Add or remove members from an existing group
• Change the master of an existing group
• Delete an existing group
■
To Enter Group Edit Mode:
1.
Make sure you are in Group Setup mode (Press the SETUP button in the GROUP
Menu).
2.
Press the ON button of any path to enter Group Edit mode.
3.
If that path is an existing group member or master, the user is now editing that
group.
4.
If that path is not part of any group, the user is now creating a new group. The
selected path becomes the master for the new group with the zero offset point at
the physical position of the master fader at the time when the Write button is hit.
If the master fader is also being used as an audio path (local fader) then its physical
position will already be set in relation to the rest of the group. It can be adjusted
later, if necessary.
If the master fader will only be used as a Group master (it will carry no audio), it is
recommended that the fader be set to “zero” on the fader scale before making it a
group master. This allows the panel markings to indicate the group offset level.
■
Indication
All path ON LEDs turn Off except for the group that is now being edited.
■
To Add a Member to the Group Being Edited:
1.
Press the ON button of a path whose LED is not lit.
If that path is not a member of another group, its LED will turn on indicating that it is
now a member of the group being edited.
If that path is a member of a different group, that other group will be displayed
while the ON button is depressed (extinguishing the current group). When the Write
button is released, group editing may be resumed. That path was not added to the
group being edited because it already belongs to another group.
2.
Exit from Group Edit mode by pressing the DONE button on the LCD display.
■
To Delete the Group Being Edited:
Press the ON button of the Group Master (LED is blinking).
The Blinking LED will turn OFF indicating that the Group Master has been deleted.
Alternately, you can press the DELETE KEY displayed on the Creating Group LCD Menu.
Exit from Group Edit mode by pressing the DONE button on the LCD display.
