GANG
General
Gang is a very helpful feature to speed up operations that influence functions on multiple input channels,
or on output busses, in the same way.
For example, if Input Channels are ganged, then a parameter change of a function will be applied to all
other ganged channels in an offset manner. For example, adjusting any rotary parameter or fader within
a gang will add that offset to, or subtract it from, all other channels in the gang. Pressing a switch will
change all other channels whose switches are not currently in the resulting state, to that state. From that
point on, further presses will result in all switches changing mode together.
Creating A Gang
* Activate the GANG Mode with [GANG], the [GANG] key will glow blue (see Figure 1-4 for the
location of the [GANG] key).
* Add/remove a channel by pressing channel's [SOLO/SEL] key. The [SOLO/SEL] becomes blue
if the channel is in the gang.
* ADD/Remove a range by pressing the first and last channel [SOLO/SEL] together.
Switching-Off Gang Mode
Once a Gang has been created, it can be de-activated by switching the [GANG] key off. The
[SOLO/SEL] keys will return to normal solo operation. The Gang will be stored however, and can
be re-activated for further use at any time. Gang member settings are independent of the con-
sole's snapshot automation, but are stored when the console is powered off.
Clearing A Gang
* Press and hold any active (blue) [SOLO/SEL]
or
* Leave the GANG mode with [GANG].
Gang All Input Channels
* Press and release [GANG] to switch Gang mode on, and then press and hold [GANG] until all
of the Input [SOLO/SEL] keys turn blue. This selects all channels (including hidden layers) to the
gang. When all of the Inputs are Ganged their [SOLO/SEL] keys turn blue.
NOTE: Entering Gang Mode does not cancel any solos of any type that are active at the time.
The Solo system continues to work as it was when Gang Mode was switched ON. The amber
'Solo' illumination of the Solo/Sel switches cannot be seen whilst gang mode is ON.
NOTE: It is recomended that Gangs are cleared down after use, particularly if GANG ALL is
used.
