Using VCA/POP groups
VCA/POP groups (bottom of the mix bay) allow simultaneous control over a number of
channels. This provides a quick method of bringing particular channels to the control
surface and saves you having to remember their name/number. You can choose
channel group associations and also configure the colour and legend of each group’s
LCD select button to make them instantly recognisable. The LCD select button for each
group is used for both group member assignment and group recall.
Any group can have any channels (input/output) assigned to them, although in normal
practise is more likely that they will only have one or the other. Only input channel
group members are unfolded to the surface (input bays).
VCA groups include fader, solo and mute control, whereas POP groups are limited to
unfolding channels (on area A or B).
>> To assign input channels to a VCA/POP group
In the following example, four input channels (already named “Kik 1”, “Sn1”, “Hihat”
and “Tom”) are selected to the VCA group select button named “Kit”. This method is
also used for assigning selecting channels to a POP group.
1 Press and hold down the LCD select button
of the VCA group that you want to assign
the input channels to, for example, “Kit”.
The button will start flashing when you are
in group member selection mode and the
inputs will jump to program mode. Any
existing group members will be unfolded to
the control surface.
2 While still holding down the LCD select
button, press the LCD select buttons of the
input channels you want to assign to the
VCA group. For example, “Kik 1”, “Sn1”,
“Hihat” and “Tom”. Scroll to new bank, if
required. A bank LED (input select
section) will flash if it contains a channel
that is a member of the current group, and
the bank is not at the control surface.
3 Release the group’s LCD select button. The
VCA group now contains the input channel
members you have just chosen and the
group will be selected.
4 Press the VCA group’s LCD select button to
exit the group.
