Control Groups

Max Air supports Control Groups which allow a Group Master channel to control mul-
tiple slave channels. Control Groups are similar to traditional VCA Groups. The Group
Master channel can be assigned to a strip just like any other channel. The most common
use of a Control Group is to control similar channels from one strip. For example, a
single master fader can be used to change the fader level of all announcer mics. Max Air
allows up to 48 Control Groups, each of which can control the following channel set-
tings: Fader, On/Off, Pan, Aux, Filters, EQ, Dynamics and Input.
The relative fader level of each slave channel can be individually set and the master
channel preserves these relative fader levels as the master fader is altered. This allows all
slave channels to be smoothly faded out by bringing down the master fader.
