Description of Controls
MUTE GROUPS (1—4)
The MUTE GROUPS buttons
Mute Group, like any other mute, can be recorded into a Song using the Mute Automation sequencer. However, only the Mute Group button that is pressed is recorded, not the individual channels that are a part of the Mute Group. This means that if the Mute Group’s definition changes, the recorded Mute Group events will recall the new Mute Group definition.
DEFINE
The DEFINE button lets you create Mute Groups. To store a Mute Group, press DEFINE (its LED will flash), press all the MUTE buttons you wish, then press one of the MUTE GROUP buttons
ALL/ALT
The ALL button selects (mutes) all channels on the console (72 in all) when defining a mute. Unless DEFINE is pressed first, the ALL button does nothing when pressed momentarily. If DEFINE is pressed (its LED flashing), pressing ALL will mute all channels. At this point you can store the current mute status of the console as a Mute Group, or you can unmute particular channels before storing.
When the ALL button is held (without DEFINE being pressed), it becomes an ALT button, allowing you to access other features using existing buttons. The following buttons have secondary features which are accessed while holding ALT:
