Gang Takes

Gang takes occur in MD mode only. However, the 'Gang Take' button will perform ordinary
takes when your panel is in X-Y mode.
In MD mode, the 'Gang Take' button performs takes to multiple MD destinations (which
have presets) simultaneously. The gang take is the only way to perform simultaneous takes.
In X-Y mode, the gang take button acts like an ordinary take button. It just executes the
take that any of the dedicated take buttons in the LCD button array would execute.

Buttons

The NV9616 has 3 classes of button functions:
• Dedicated functions, such as 'Default State' and 'Chop' .
• Variable functions, such as 'Category' , 'Source' , or 'Destination' . A category button
identifies a specific category. A source button identifies a specific source. A destination
button identifies a specific destination.
• Special functions, such as 'Menu' , 'Page Up' , and 'Page Down' .
At present, there are 26 button types, not including "undefined" which is not a true button
type:

Broadcast
A broadcast button applies to a data (or machine control) level only. The button assigns one
controlling device (the master) to multiple controlled devices (the slaves). The function is
useful in dubbing applications. See

Pressing the 'Broadcast' button turns off the 'Source is Master' button and vice versa.
The default button text is "Broadcast" but a broadcast button can have any legend.
Category
A category button selects either a category mnemonic or a category suffix. Category
buttons exist for the purpose of selecting (naming) either a source or a destination device.
When you have not started a device selection, pressing a category button (1) chooses a
category mnemonic as the beginning of a device name and (2) starts the device selection.
