12 Grouping Channels & Linking
Parameters
This chapter describes how to group faders or [ON] buttons for multiple channels and link
the EQ or compressor parameters for simultaneous operation.
Grouping & Linking
On the DM1000, you can group faders or [ON] buttons for multiple Input Channels or
multiple Output Channels (Bus Outs 1–8, Aux Outs 1–8) and link the EQ or compressor
parameters.
The following elements can be grouped or linked within Input Channels or Output Chan-
nels.
•Fader group
Input Channel or Output Channel faders can be grouped. There are eight Input Channel
Fader groups and four Output Channel Fader groups. When channel faders are grouped,
operating one of them enables you to control the level of the other grouped faders while
maintaining the relative level differences.
Also, the DM1000 features a Fader Group Master function that enables you to control the
level of all grouped channels 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 DM1000 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 parameter 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 Channels and Output Channels respectively.
All channels in a compressor link share the same compressor parameter settings. When you
change a compressor parameter value for one of the linked channels, the change is applied
to all other linked channels.
