Creating A Group - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

The Mix System

Creating a Group

To create a Software Group, press the fader status button of the fader you wish to be
master. You will see a message appear under the Group number on screen indicating
that "Master of Group is Channel X LF/SF". The fader's red LED will come on to
confirm your choice. Should you make a mistake, pressing the status button again will
deselect the fader and the LED will go off. Select another fader status button to make
that fader the master.
Now press the fader status button of the first slave. Its green LED will come on to
confirm that it has been selected as a slave. Repeat the process for further slaves. To
deselect a slave from the group, simply press the status button again.
Note that slaves will be of the type currently selected in the Master/Slave Types menu.
If you want to change a slave to a different type, first deselect it from the group. Now
simply change the type by pressing the front panel's up/down cursor keys or by
stabbing on one of the other options, then reselect the slave to the group. To select a
sequential range of faders as slaves, simply hold down the fader status button of the
first and press the button on the last. The same procedure can also be used to deselect a
range of faders.
Once slaves have been assigned to a master, all slaves must be cleared from that group
before the master can be deselected.
You have now set up your first group – easy, isn't it! To create additional groups, use
the front panel's left/right cursor keys to select the next group number you wish to
use. The LEDs on the group you have just set up will start flashing to show that those
faders belong to another group, and cannot be incorporated into a new one. Solid
LEDs always show the slave and master selections of the current group. Flashing
LEDs show the master(s) and slaves of all the other existing groups.
An additional type of group is shown under Collection Types, and offers a smarter
version of Slave Cut Inverted – called One of 'n' Uncut (see lower screen opposite).
Note that this is not included under Master/Slave Types as there is no absolute master
in this type of group. Select One of 'n' Uncut and create your group as normal. If you
now press any Cut within the group, it will uncut that Cut and cut all others. Yay!
