Control Group Filter

4-122 GC Operation
On first press, the SETUP: GROUPS key is lit to show that an activity has been
started but not yet finished. All LINK/SEL keys of Control Group Master chan-
nels are half-lit. Pressing one of these enables setting up the corresponding
Control Group. The LINK/SEL keys of the Control Group members are lit,
the ones of non-members are half-lit. The graphical controller automatically
activates the Control Group Filter dialog (see above) for the selected Control
Group.
When a Control Group is selected for editing, member channels can be
added or removed from the Control Group by using their LINK/SEL keys. If
the MULTI SEL key is deactivated, all members are cleared upon pressing any
LINK/SEL key, similar to creating a gang. During editing, the Control Group is
not active, i.e. the setting of the Control Group Master can be changed without
influencing the members. This can be used to adjust the offset between the
Master and the Members if required.
Editing a control group can be terminated either by pressing the LINK/SEL key
of the master, or by exiting setup mode by pressing the SETUP: GROUPS key
in the control bay. If you now want to proceed with editing of another control
group, first deselect (using the LINK/SEL key) the Control Group Master you
have just finished with, and then select the new one that you wish to edit.
When Control Group Editing is activated, the graphical controller automati-
cally activates the Control Group Filter dialog box for the selected Control
Group (see screenshot on the previous page).
In the Control Group Filter dialog, the user can define functions to be grouped
or not. To group the desired function, the appropriate Select checkbox must
be checked. If Select is unchecked, the functions' control can be moved freely
without influencing the members. Normally, when the members are grouped,
their local values of Fader/Mute are left untouched when the group is formed
– they are grouped in a relative way. If absolute grouping is desired, values
can be copied from the master to the members:
• By checking the Copy Enable checkbox and clicking on Copy;
• By completing the editing of a group while the Copy Upon Setup checkbox
is checked.
There is also a context menu available, called up by right-clicking within the
edit dialog:
• If the cursor is placed over the Select items, the menu allows to check or
clear all select boxes;
