Mixer

Group Editor:
Maybe you‘ve wondered why we used the name „Section“ for a multi selection of multiple Zones
and not the common name „Group“ in the prior „Mapping Editor“ chapter...
Well, here is the reason: „Group“ is a reserved index for our built-in mixer, which stands for a multi
selection of different channels which is a much more common naming in the music than a multi
selection of Zones. The „Group Editor“ contains a „select group“ pull-down menu and an Edit
Selection window. Just select one or more Channels (of any kind), then click on the „select group“
pull-down and choose between the following options:
Click on „new group“ to create a group of all Channels you selected. You can assign a name to your
new group afterwards.
TIP: For a better overview we recommend you to use always very clear names for your
GROUPS („Drum Kit Room 2 Complete“, for example). If you do not enter a name for
your GROUP Independence uses an automatic naming with variables like „group 1“,
„group 2“, etc.
IMPORTANT: Working with the Group Editor is very easy and thus much more intuitive, easier
and much faster. If you combine multiple channels to a group, you can edit the
SOLO buttons or the VOLUME for all Channels of this group with one mouse
click simultaneously, for example.
Further options of the Group Editor are very similar and nearly self-explanatory, like „rename
group“: Select the Group you want to rename from the „rename group“ pull-down menu and
enter the new name in the text window afterwards. Press the „Return“ key and the new name gets
accepted.
SHORTCUTS: To select and edit multiple channels simultaneously hold the Mac Key (Mac OS
X) or the Strg Key (Windows XP) and click on the channels you want to select.
