Channel Ganging

Ganging lets you link selected processing and mix parameters between input channels or masters, for example the EQ, gate and compressor of a stereo keyboard, or the GEQ of the L and R main mix. Ganging does not include the input Preamp (gain).

To enter Ganging Setup mode and view and assign ganged input or mix master channel parameters, select the TouchScreen MIXRACK / Ganging page.

Ganged channels must be compatible input or mix types. Up to 8 gangs can be assigned with up to 8 channels each. The parameters available to be ganged are known as the 'attributes'. These include processing such as EQ and dynamics, delay, routing levels and assignments and mutes.

Touch a numbered Gang box in the left hand pane. Press the SEL key on the first channel strip you want to gang. Now touch the screen Attributes tab and highlight the parameters you want to gang. Touch Apply to accept the changes. Now press the SEL keys for the other channels you want to add to the gang.

The channels currently ganged are shown in the Members tab and on the related fader strip SEL keys. To remove gangs use the strip SEL keys or the Remove buttons in the Members tab.

Note Do not leave the screen in the Ganging page. To restore normal operation of the strip SEL keys make sure you exit the Ganging setup screen.

COPY / PASTE / RESET

The Surface provides dedicated edit keys to let you quickly copy or reset settings.

Hold down the COPY key and then press a SEL or MIX key anywhere on the Surface to copy its related settings to the 'clipboard'. Now hold down the PASTE key and press the related SEL or MIX key on the channel or master strip you wish to copy the settings to. You can paste the clipboard settings into multiple channels.

To reset parameters to factory default hold down the RESET key and press the SEL or MIX key of the channel or master strip or processing block you wish to reset.

Settings that can be copied and reset:

Any Processing Block SEL - Parameters associated with that block, for example, just the Preamp, PEQ or compressor.

Channel, FX return or master strip SEL - All processing parameters associated with that channel, but not the Preamp settings or mix sends and assignments.

Channel or master strip MIX - Mix parameters including the send levels, group and DCA assignments, but not fader level, source or pre/post settings. For example, you can copy one Aux mix into another as a starting point for setting up that monitor mix.
