Using VCA Grouping
The Templ1 file configures 6 VCAs on Faders 34 to 39 plus
additional VCAs on Smart Panel layer C. There is no pre-
configured routing, so to use these VCAs follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the SEL button on the VCA Fader strip,
or Smart Panel controller.
2. Then press the SEL buttons on each fader or Smart
Panel strip you wish to assign.
Note that you can assign any combination of input, Aux, Group,
Master or Matrix channels to each VCA.
3. Move the VCA fader to adjust the main level of all slave
channels.
The VCA behaves like an analogue VCA with non-moving slave
faders. This allows you to see and update slave fader positions
even if the VCA master is closed.
4. Press MUTE on the VCA Fader strip to mute or unmute
the slave channels.
The VCA MUTE will not override any existing slave channel
MUTEs. This is indicated on the slave channels as follows:
• MUTE flashing – the channel is muted only by the VCA.
When you unmute the VCA, the channel MUTE cancels.
• MUTE steady state - the channel MUTE is active; it will
not be affected by the VCA MUTE. To unmute the
channel you must unmute both the VCA and the slave.
Note that a VCA controls level and MUTE only; you cannot
apply master control of EQ, Dynamics, etc and you cannot CUE
a VCA.
Note that you may route a channel to multiple VCAs if you wish.
