Hardware Fader Groups
Any ‘large’ channel fader can be assigned to one of the eight Group Control faders
located below the console centre section. The number of the Group fader to which a
channel is assigned is displayed in a local 7-segment LED display on the fader (see
opposite).
Group faders can also be freely assigned to other Group Faders, so many
combinations of subgrouping can be achieved. Note for Ultimation users – higher
numbered Group faders can be assigned as masters to lower numbered Group faders.
To assign faders, select the HARD GROUP SETUP button on the front panel. Now by
quickly pressing the switch at the bottom of a fader, the 7-segment display will
increment by one. If the switch is held down for a short period it will decrement the
display by one. If 0 is selected on the display, then the fader will be cut by Group
Fader solos. If the display is blank then the fader is unaffected by group solos. Note
that a fader must also be in this latter mode before it can be assigned to a Software
Group (see below).
Current Group Fader assignments can be cleared via the MIX-DESK/Groups menu
(see below).
In addition to the eight hardware groups, 32 Software Groups are also available (see
Page 5-65).
The Groups Menu
As well as providing the means to clear down any Group Fader assignments – Clr
Hard Groups, the MIX-DESK/Groups menu (see opposite) also contains the
following useful functions:
Clr Chan Cuts Clears any currently selected Large or Small Fader cuts
Clr Group Cuts Clears any currently selected Group Fader cuts
Clr Chan Solos Clears any currently selected Large or Small Fader solos
Clr Group Solos Clears any currently selected Group Fader solos
If you stab any of the above boxes, the system will prompt you to confirm your
selection.
Group Fader solos can be made to operate with, or independent of, the console’s solo
modes. These solo modes are: normal – where multiple solos may be selected or
deselected consecutively; ALT – where the solos alternate, ie. when you press a solo it
comes on and any other currently selected solo is cancelled; FLEET – where a channel
is soloed for as long as you are holding the solo button down. Different modes may be
selected in the console’s audio centre section.
