Indication of Slave Type
There may be occasions when you become confused as to which Slave Type faders
have been set.
With the Group Setup menu on screen, make the group in question current by
selecting it with the left/right cursor keys. slaves which are of the current type, as
shown in the menu, will display a solid green LED as normal. slaves which are of a
different type will show a solid green LED plus a slow flashing red LED.
Now move through the Master/Slave Types list with the left/right cursor keys to
determine which faders are of which slave type. As a new type is selected, any of the
current group that are of that type will show just the solid green LED.
Alternatively, you can proceed as follows. Pressing the status button on a channel that
has both LEDs lit will cause the slave type of that channel to become the current type,
and the Master/Slave Types list will confirm this. The flashing red LED on this
channel will go out to show that the channel is now of the current type. Pressing the
button again will remove that slave from the group. Remember that slaves can only be
deselected individually if they are of the current type.
Clearing a group can be simply carried out by making the group current and then
stabbing on Clear Group.
Software Groups and Automation
If Software Groups are used in an automated mix, there may be situations where you
want to clear some, or all, of the current groups and set up new ones. Merge &
Dissolve is provided for just such occasions. It merges the current group data with the
mix data for the current pass in a new mix pass prefixed with the letter G, and then
clears the grouping information for that Software Group. The fact that a new mix pass
has been created provides a previously unavailable level of undo should you wish to
return to the ‘un-merged’ mix.
An error message pop-up now appear if Merge & Dissolve is used on a One of ‘n’
Uncut type group. Merge & Dissolve does not work on a collection, as the mix data
for the collection is not held on a single master channel, but collectively across all
members of the collection.
