Mute Group - Yamaha CL5 Reference Manual

Mute group

CL series consoles feature eight mute groups.
Mute groups enable you to use USER DEFINED keys [1]-[16] to mute or unmute multiple
channels in a single operation. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously.
Mute groups 1 - 8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of
channels can exist in the same group.
Assigning channels to mute groups
As with the DCA group, there are the following two ways to assign channels to mute groups.
• You can select a specific mute group first and then specify the channels to be assigned to
the group, or
• You can select a specific channel and then specify the mute group to which it should be
assigned.
