Grouping Channels & Linking Parameters
This chapter describes how to group faders or [ON] buttons
for multiple channels and link the EQ or compressor param-
eters for simultaneous operation.

Grouping & Linking

On the 01V96i, you can group faders or [ON] buttons for
multiple Input Channels (Input Channels 1–32, ST IN Chan-
nels 1–4) or multiple Output Channels (Bus Outs 1–8, Aux
Outs 1–8, Stereo Out) and link the EQ or compressor param-
eters.
The following elements can be grouped or linked within
Input Channels or Output Channels.
• Fader group
Input Channel or Output Channel faders (or level con-
trols) can be grouped. There are eight Input Channel
Fader groups and four Output Channel Fader groups.
When channel faders or level controls are grouped, oper-
ating any one of them enables you to control the level of
the other grouped faders or level controls while maintain-
ing the relative level differences.
Also, the 01V96i features a Fader Group Master function
that enables you to control the level of all grouped chan-
nels using the Group Master level while maintaining the
relative level balance between channels.
•Mute group
Input Channel or Output Channel [ON] buttons can be
grouped. There are eight Input Channel mute groups and
four Output Channel mute groups. When channel [ON]
buttons are grouped, pressing any one of them turns the
[ON] buttons for all the grouped channels on or off. A
mute group can include On channels and Off channels at
the same time, which turn off or on respectively when
you press any one of the grouped [ON] buttons.
Also, the 01V96i features a Mute Group Master function
that enables you to mute grouped channels using the
Master Mute buttons.
•EQ Link
Input or Output Channel EQ parameters can be linked.
There are four EQ links for Input Channels and Output
Channels respectively.
All channels in an EQ link share the same EQ paramete r
settings. When you change an EQ parameter value for
one of the linked channels, the change is applied to all
other linked channels.
•Compressor Link
Input or Output Channel compressor parameters can be
linked. There are four compressor links for Input Chan-
nels and Output Channels respectively.
All channels in a compressor link share the same com-
pressor parameter settings. When you change a compres-
sor parameter value for one of the linked channels, the
change is applied to all other linked channels.

Using Fader Groups and

Mute Groups

Follow the steps below to group faders or [ON] buttons for
Input Channels or Output Channels.
1. Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [PAIR/GROUP]

button repeatedly until one of the pages that

contains the desired group and channels

appears.
•In Fader page
This page enables you to set Fader groups (A–H) for
Input Channels 1–32 and ST IN Channels 1–4.
•Out Fader page
This page enables you to set Fader groups (Q–T) for Bus
Outs (1–8), Aux Outs (1–8) and Stereo Out.
•In Mute page
This page enables you to set Mute groups (I–P) for Input
Channels 1–32 and ST IN Channels 1–4 respectively.
Tip: Compressor Link is not available for the ST IN Chan-
nels, since they do not feature compressors.
