4.2 Navigating mixes
Your CS18AI provides two ways of controlling your mixes. You can bring up each mix
on the touch sensitive motorized channel strip faders or you can lock the faders to the
Main mix and control the other mixes using the encoders in the Fat Channel.

While in group masters mode you can mix based on the groups you've created such as drums, horns,
guitars, lead guitar, and lead vocal.
Pressing the Select button on any group will open that group switching you from viewing the group
master to viewing just the channels contained in that group. The Flex Master fader will now be the
selected group master. If you have more than 16 channels in the group you can navigate to the
additional channels using the Layer A, B, C, and D buttons. To exit the group and return to the group
master view press the Group Master button.
Pressing the Group button in the Master Control section will open the Filter
DCA group view on the touch screen.
Selecting any of the Filter DCA groups on the touch screen will display
just the channels contained in that group. The Flex Master fader will
now be the selected group master. If you have more than 16 channels
in the group you can navigate to the additional channels using the
Layer A, B, C, and D buttons. To exit the group and return to the
channel layer you were on previously press the Exit Filter button on
the touch screen. If you've navigated away from the group view on
the touch screen the Group button will stay illuminated to remind you
that you're still viewing a Filter DCA group on your channels strips.
The Flex Master fader will also follow your mix selection. When the Main Mix is selected the Flex
Master will control the level of your Main Mono/Center buss output. When any other mix is selected
it will control the master send level for that mix.
