Unmute a Channel
Once a channel is muted, you can follow this simple procedure to clear the
mute:
Select the muted channel. (It should have the yellow LED in •
its button lit.)
Press the • mu t e button.
The yellow LED will go out.•
To clear mutes on other channels, continue selecting chan‑•
nels, pressing the mu t e button to clear each mute.
Save the Preset with the mutes, if desired.
P No t e : Solo mode will temporarily override a mute. This guarantees that
you will always hear the channels you solo. When you exit Solo
mode, the channels are returned to their previous state.
Creating Groups
When you need control over more than just a stereo pair of channels as
described earlier using the Link function, you can use the Group function to
control multiple channels. Up to three Groups can be created and saved per
user Preset. This means that every Personal Mixer can have up to forty‑eight
different Groups stored by using all sixteen user Presets.
A Group can consist of any number of channels, but Groups cannot overlap.
That is, one Group cannot contain channels that are part of another Group.
Mono or linked stereo channels can be part of a Group.
As you create a Group, the channel volume and pan settings of each channel
added to a Group are retained. This helps to keep the overall blend of
channels that are part of a Group even while you adjust the Group’s overall
volume. The Vo l u m e N o w control changes the overall level of the Group.
Some examples of Groups in use:
A Group allows background vocal parts from multiple •
singers to be adjusted together.
All the drums in a live drum kit can be combined to a single •
stereo mix for easy adjustment for the guitar player, while
the drummer retains individual control over each drum in
his mix.
