Control Groups

Move the Channel 5 fader; note that the faders for Channels 6, 7, and 8 do not move. Because Channel
5 was the first channel selected, it has been designated as the Master fader for the VCA control group;
note the heading "GP3M" (for "Group 3 Master") in the Channel 5 box. Start your multitrack playing,
however, and note that the levels of channels 6, 7, and 8 change as you move the fader for Channel 5.
Now try moving the faders for Channels 6, 7, and 8 in turn; note that doing so only changes the level
for that channel and not for the entire control group.

Finally, we'll change the Master fader in this VCA control group from Channel 5 to Channel 8. To do
so, simply select GROUP3, then touch the Channel 5 button: the "M" suffix disappears (Channel 5 is
now designated as "GP3," same as Channels 6, 7, and 8). At this point, there is no master fader. Next,
press the Channel 8 button twice. The first time you press it, it is removed from the control group alto-
gether; the second time you press it, it is designated as the new Master fader (with the heading "GP3M").
Start your multitrack playing to confirm that this is the case.
Cut and fader control group assignments are saved along with snapshots, so be sure to overwrite the current
snapshot (or create a new one) after making control group assignments, then save the current Title to Flash
Memory and/or floppy disk.
