3.3.16 Control Groups
A Control Group is a group of console channels controlled by a Control
Group Master (CGM), similarly to the VCA groups in analog consoles.
Control Group Master The Control Group Master is a dedicated channel of a special type. The
sole purpose of the Control Group Master is to control the audio functions
of its Members.
The Control Group Master channels are defined in the Session Configura-
tion. It is possible to configure up to 16 Control Group Master channels.
The Control Groups are separate for every MultiDesk group. The number
of each Control Group Master is shown on the 7-segment display in the
channel strip of each CGM, following the rule:
Control Group 1 Display: 1
Control Group 2 Display: 2
... ...
Control Group 9 Display: 9
Control Group 10 Display: 0
Control Group 11 Display: A
Control Group 12 Display: b
Control Group 13 Display: C
Control Group 14 Display: d
Control Group 15 Display: E
Control Group 16 Display: F
The Control Group Master channel controls the audio functions of the
Members. Master channels can be assigned to desk strips in the same way
as any other console channel. The desk strip to which a Control Group
Master is assigned will display the following:
• Control Group Master number 1 through 9, 0, or letters A through F in
the seven-segment display next to the fader;
• MLNK LED indication;
• The Fixed Label is set to CGM (Control Group Master), but can be set
to display user labels such as DRUM, LVOX, BVOX, RTHM, etc.
Control Group Members Control Group Members can be selected to and deselected from a Control
Group during the console operation. This is done in a special Control
Group Edit mode. Any console channel can be selected as a member in a
Control Group. The members can be “stolen” from one Control Group to
another. When a channel is selected as a member in a Control Group, its
channel strip displays the following:
• Control Group number 1 through 9, 0, or letters A through F in the
seven-segment display next to the fader;
• LINK led indication.
