Channel Ganging

Ganging lets you link selected processing and mix
parameters between input channels or masters, for example

the EQ, gate and compressor of a stereo keyboard, or the
GEQ of the L and R main mix. Ganging does not include the
input Preamp (gain).

To enter Ganging Setup mode and view and assign ganged

input or mix master channel parameters, select the
TouchScreen

MIXRACK / Ganging

page.

Ganged channels must be compatible input or mix types. Up
to 8 gangs can be assigned with up to 8 channels each.
The parameters available to be ganged are known as the

'attributes'. These include processing such as EQ and
dynamics, delay, routing levels and assignments and mutes.

Touch a numbered Gang box in the left hand pane. Press
the

SEL

key on the first channel strip you want to gang. Now

touch the screen

Attributes

tab and highlight the parameters

you want to gang. Touch Apply to accept the changes. Now

press the

SEL

keys for the other channels you want to add

to the gang.

The channels currently ganged are shown in the

Members

tab and on the related fader strip

SEL

keys. To remove

gangs use the strip

SEL

keys or the Remove buttons in the

Members tab.
