Fader Group assignments

Fader Grouping is a function that links the fader opera- tions of multiple channels. For example if you’ve recorded multiple track channels of drums or chorus, you can assign these drum channels or chorus channels to the same fader group so that moving any one of the faders in the group will adjust all of the levels together.

1 Call the MONITOR screen Fader Grp. page by either pressing the Quick Navigate sec- tion [MONITOR] key as many times as nec- essary, or by pressing the [F2] key after pressing the [MONITOR] key.

This page contains the following items.

A B C

1ENABLE field

Use these buttons to switch fader groups A–D on/off. The A–D buttons will be highlighted to indicate fader groups that are turned on. You will also use this field to select the fader group that you want to operate.

BINPUT field

CTRACK field

These areas indicate the fader group to which each input channel 1–16 and track channel 1–24 is assigned. The “●” symbol indicates channels that are assigned, and the “...” symbol indicates channels that are not assigned.

2 In the ENABLE field, move the cursor to the button A–D of the fader group that you want to operate.

3 Use the Layer section keys, the [INPUT SEL] keys, and the [SEL] keys to select the channels that you want to assign to this fader group.

The assignment to the fader group will alternately be switched on or off each time you press the [INPUT SEL] key or [SEL] key.

NOTE

•You can’t assign a single channel to more than one fader group.

5 To enable a fader group, move the cursor to the A–D buttons and press the [ENTER] key.

Buttons A–D can be turned on/off independently.

6 Operate a channel that is assigned to a fader group.

The faders of all channels assigned to that fader group will move in tandem.

NOTE

•When operating channels that are assigned to a fader group, you must use only one fader. If you attempt to move two or more faders simultaneously, the motor faders will be stressed, and possibly damaged.

HINT

•If you want to adjust the fader value for only a specific channel that is assigned to a fader group, operate its fader while hold- ing down the [SEL] key or [INPUT SEL] key for that channel.

•The fader group assignments are available even when Trigger Track mode is engaged.

•The fader group assignments in the Fader Grp. page can be copied to the Mute Grp. page by holding down the Display section [SHIFT] key and pressing the [F4] key.
