VCA/POP groups
VCA/POP groups allow simultaneous control over a number of channels. They also save
you having to remember channel numbers when you wish to select a particular channel
to a bay. VCA/POP group recall is via an array of group select buttons on the mix bay.
Channel group associations are chosen by you and, in addition, you can configure the
colour and legend of the LCD group select button to be instantly recognisable.
A VCA group can contain input and output channels, while POP groups can only have
inputs assigned to them. Only input channels are recalled to the surface; any outputs
recalled leave the output bay ‘unchanged’.
To assign input channels to a VCA/POP group
In the example below, two input channels (already named “Bass” and “Lead”) are
selected to the VCA group select button named “Guitar”. The following method is also
adopted for selecting channels to a POP group.

1 On the mix bay, press and hold down the VCA group select
button that you wish to assign the input channels to. The inputs
will jump to program mode.
2 While still holding down the VCA group select button, press the
LCD select buttons of the input channels you wish to assign to
the new VCA group. Scroll to new bank, if required.
3 Release the VCA group select button. The VCA group now
contains the input channel members you have just selected. To
recall the VCA group, see “To recall a VCA/POP input group” on
page 181.
