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 • M
ute
button.
The yellow LED will go out. •
To clear mutes on other channels, continue selecting channels, pressing the • M
ute
button
to clear each mute.
Save the Preset with the mutes, if desired.

: 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 V

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.
Horns and woodwinds can be controlled together.
•
Rhythm section instruments can be combined into one source. •
Creating and editing Groups is done in the Group Mode.
