Auto Mute Masters

The Siena provides five auto mute groups commonly used to
provide easy muting of similar channels. For example:
Reason
Allows the engineer to mute the whole drum kit at once.
Allows the engineer to quickly remove all choir mics at once
Allows the engineer to zone mics together (e.g. Brass, Strings, etc.) and
mute sections together if they were not playing.
