Note that it is the level change associated with the fader movement which is replicated, not the physical
distance the fader is moved.
In vca style mode, moving the Control Group fader affects the output level of all assigned channels without moving their faders.
In mute only mode, the Control Group only controls the mute buttons of assigned channels, not the output level.
Note that in all three modes, moving the fader of a channel assigned to a group does not impact the output
levels of other channels within the group.
2.9.3 Control Group Mute Functions .............................................
The mute buttons within a Control Group interact in the same way, regardless of the current fader mode:
The mute button above the LCD display on a Control Group fader can be used to mute all of its assigned channels. Its function is
duplicated by the all mute button below the channel’s scribble strip. When a channel is muted by its Control Group mute button,
the channel's mute button lights in the normal way. The channel's CG mute button goes blue to indicate that the Control Group
mute button (rather than the channel mute button) is responsible for the mute. When deactivated, the Control Group mute button
returns all assigned channels to their mute state before the Control Group mute button was activated.
CG Mutes are treated as “in series” where a channel is a member of more than one group. All CG mutes must be off for a channel
to be unmuted; any CG muted always mutes all of its members.
If a channel is CG muted by single or multiple CGs, the worksurface channel mute button will override all CG mutes for that
channel. The channel will not however be removed from CG membership so if the relevant CG is muted again, the channel will
also be muted.
The auto-mute function, activated by touching the auto-mute button located above the Control Group name in the Channel Strip
panel, automatically mutes any channel which is removed from that Control Group and unmutes any channel that joins the Control
Group.
