5 - Channel modules : Module setup Use the cursor to highlight a group (numbered at the side of the screen) and use the channel SEL keys to add the channels to the group. Change fader layers if necessary, to add other channels to the group. The first channel added to the group becomes the master, marked by a solid "blob". The SEL key flashes, when the group is highlighted on screen. Other channels can be added to the group following the master, marked by hollow "blobs" (if a channel already belongs to a group as a slave, it is removed from its original group). Slave channels in a group have their SEL key lit. To remove a channel from a group, press its SEL key so that it is unlit. Clearing groups Pressing the flashing master SEL key brings up a popup panel: Figure 5.22: Clearing a group Pressing ENTER removes the whole group (cursor keys cancel the clear operation and leave the group as is). The POD 4 switch or ENTER turn the highlighted group on or off, but do not clear the settings. Fader groups These work in the same way as for mute groups. Figure 5.24: Fader grouping Grouping groups A group can become a subgroup of another group, using the matrix at the bottom of the screen. Move the cursor so that it highlights a master group (down the left side of the matrix-the SEL key corresponding to the master group lights) and use SEL keys 1 through 8 (regardless of layer) to set subgroups. A "tree" diagram appears at the side of the matrix as you set up the groups: Figure 5.23: Grouping groups In Figure 5.23, Grouping groups, group 1 is controlled by group 3, which in turn is controlled (together with groups 5 and 6) by group 2, which is controlled in turn (together with group 7) by group 4. In other words, the MUTE key of the master channel of group 4 affects the MUTE keys of all channels of groups 2 and 7, 3, 5 and 6, and 1. Linking fader groups to mute groups The on-screen MUTE->FADER LINK button allows the settings made for the mute groups to be linked to the fader groups. Changes made to mutes will be reflected in the faders and vice versa. Master and slave channels are set for each group using the SEL keys, and groups can be grouped in exactly the same way as mute groups. Groups can be turned on and off. Although these settings and actions are independent of the mute group settings described above, there is a FADER->MUTE LINK on-screen button that allows the settings made for the fader groups to be transferred and linked to the mute group settings. TIP Either fader or mute groups can also be used as the source for "solo groups", where pressing the SOLO key of the master channel will solo all slave channels. See "SOLO" on page 44.
