Working with Mono Group Busses
When configured as mono busses, Groups can operate in the
following modes:
Simple Mode
In Simple mode, either all Groups on a channel are mono, or
all Groups on a channel act as bus pairs.
Expert Mode
In Expert mode, any of the 4 bus pairs can be stereo linked in-
dividually while leaving the other busses as mono, on a per
channel basis.
To set the link status of individual mono Group busses on a
channel (Expert Mode only):
