A DCA group
This is the number of the DCA group. The number
corresponding to the grid where the cursor is located is
highlighted.
B Name
This is the name of the DCA group. You can also click
this area to edit the name.
C Grid
This grid lets you assign output channels (horizontal
rows) to DCA groups (vertical columns). Currently-
patched grids are indicated by a
cursor to the desired grid and press the [ENTER] key
(or click) to set/disable the assignment.
Hint
• You can also assign an output channel to both DCA groups
for multiple DCA control.
• DCA groups 1–6 are for input channels only, but DCA
groups 7/8 can be used with both input channels and output
channels. DCA groups 7/8 allow you to use both types of
channel in the identically-numbered group.
