Chapter 11 Grouping and linking This chapter explains the DCA Group and Mute Group functions that let you control the level or muting of multiple channels together, the Channel Link function that links the parameters of multiple channels, and the operations that let you copy or move parameters between channels. About DCA Groups and Mute Groups The M7CL provides eight DCA groups and eight mute groups that let you control the level of multiple channels simultaneously. DCA groups allow you to assign input channels to eight groups, so that the Centralogic section faders 1-8 can be used to control the level of all channels in each group. A single DCA fader will control the level of all input channels belonging to the same DCA group while maintaining the level difference between the channels. This provides a convenient way in which drum mics etc. can be grouped. Mute groups allow you to use user-defined keys [1]-[12] to mute/unmute multiple channels in a single operation. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously. Mute groups 1-8 can be used with both input channels and output channels. Both types of channel can exist in the same group. 11 Grouping and linking Using DCA groups This section explains how to assign input channels to the eight DCA groups and use the faders of the Centralogic section to control them. Assigning channels to a DCA group To assign a channel to a DCA group, you can either select a specific DCA group first and then specify the channels to be assigned to the group, or you can select a specific channel and then specify the DCA group to which it should be assigned. NOTE • DCA groups can be used only with input channels. • DCA group settings are saved as part of the scene. ● Selecting the channels that will belong to a specific DCA group 1 In the function access area, press the CH JOB button. The CH JOB button lets you perform grouping, linking, and copying operations between channels. When you press this button, the function access area will change as follows.
