Creating Groups on the Controller
On your controller, existing Groups are indicated by the lit Group buttons A–H:
▪ The focused Group is indicated by the fully lit Group button.
▪ The other Groups of your Project are indicated by half-lit Group buttons.
▪ In the last Group bank the last lit Group button is always dimmed: It doesn’t correspond to
any existing Group, but instead allows you to create another Group in your Project.
To create a new Group:
1. Hold SHIFT and press the last lit Group button to select the last Group bank.
2. Release SHIFT.
3. Press the dimmed Group button after all other lit Group buttons.
→
A new empty Group is created after the existing Groups with the default name and color.
If the last Group bank already contains eight Groups, pressing SHIFT + the last lit Group
button at the first step will directly create a new empty Group in a new Group bank!
Creating Groups via the Select Mode
You can also use the Select mode to create Groups from your controller:
1. Press and hold SELECT to enter Select mode. You can also pin the Select mode by press-
ing SELECT + Button 1: You can then release SELECT: Your controller will stay in Select
mode until you press SELECT again. See section ↑2.3.5, Pinning a Mode on Your Control-
ler for more information.
2. Check that Button 2 (EVENTS) is disabled. If necessary, press it to disable it.
3. Press Button 4 (NEXT) repeatedly to navigate to the last Group bank.
4. Press the Group button corresponding to the “+” label on the left display to create a new
empty Group.
Using the Select mode allows you to access more than eight Group banks!
