Editing and Updating Groups in Live
Existing groups can be updated or re-recorded in Live. If you re-record an existing group, a
confirmation is required (unless disabled in Setup). By re-recording a group, you replace the
contents of the group, you do not add to it. Updating a group does not require a confirmation
and adds channels to the group, rather than replacing them.
Other editing or updating examples are:
•
[Group] [x] [Label] [Label] [Enter] - clears the label.
•
[Group] [x] [Label] [name] [Enter] - stores a new label.
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [Update] [Group] [n] [Enter] - adds channel 1-5 to existing Group n.
For record examples, please see Recording Groups Live (on page178) .
