10 Using Groups and Intensity Palettes 123
Offset
You can use the {Offset} softkey to aid in channel selection prior to storing groups. The offset
options are {Odd}, {Even}, {Reverse}, {Random}, and {Reorder}.
For example:
[1] [Thru] [9] {Offset} {Odd} [Record] [Group] [5] - records all odd numbered channels
between 1 and 9 to Group 5.
Editing and Updating Groups in Live
Existing groups can be updated or rerecorded in Live. If you rerecord an existing group, a
confirmation is required (unless disabled in “Setup”). By rerecording 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, page 122.
Selecting Groups
Groups may be selected from the control keypad.
To select a group:
[Group] [1] [Enter] - selects all channels in Group 1
[Group] [1] [At] [5] <0> [Enter] - selects Group 1 and places all channels within at 50%
If [Next] is used after a group selection, it accesses the first ordered channel in that group. Pressing
it again accesses the second ordered channel in that group, and so on. [Next] - used after the last
channel in the group - accesses the first channel in the group again.
[Last] may be used with group selects similar to [Next].
Deleting Groups
When you delete a group, the group number and all its contents are deleted. Delete commands
require a confirmation by default. This can be altered in the default settings. If you disable
confirmations, the second enter is not required in the following examples:
Group deletion features include:
[Delete] [Group] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes group 5.
[Delete] [Group] [3] [+] [Group] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes groups 3 and 5.
[Delete] [Group] [3] [Thru] [9] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes groups 3 through 9.
[2] [Delete] [Group] [7] [Enter] - deletes channel 2 from group 7.
Note:
To be able to label groups, you will need a touchscreen, mouse or external
keyboard.
