ENHANCING
NON-­‐LINEAR
RESPONSE
WITH DRIVE
CONTROL
By
increasing
the
DRIVE
on
a
channel,
the
nonlinear
characteristics
of
the
selected
console
will
increase
without
increasing
the
output
level.
This
type
of
effect
is
not
truly
representative
of
a
real
console,
but
it
can
be
useful
when
you
want
more
of
the
console’s
nonlinear
“vibe”
without
altering
the
channel’s
levels.
USING GROUPS
Groups
make
using
the
Virtual
Console
Collection
very
simple,
quick,
and
intuitive.
At
its
most
basic
use,
you
can
just
set
all
channels
and
mixbuss
to
the
same
group
and
use
the
Virtual
Console
Collection
to
emulate
mixing
through
one
console.
Or,
you
can
use
several
groups
and
make
your
own
hybrid
console.
For
example,
you
can
use
a
group
of
slightly
driven
Brit
N
channels
on
your
drums,
a
group
of
US
A
Discrete
channels
on
your
guitars
and
bass,
a
group
of
Ψ
channels
on
your
vocals,
and
then
sum
them
all
through
a
mixbuss
with
the
Brit
4k.
The
Virtual
Console
Collection
contains
8
groups
that
enable
you
to
slave
multiple
Virtual
Channels
together.
This
means
that
using
one
Virtual
Channel,
you
can
control
the
console
selection,
input,
and
drive
of
all
other
Virtual
Channels
in
that
group.
To
start
a
group,
simply
enable
the
GROUP
switch
to
ON.
This
will
disable
the
channel’s
main
controls,
and
enable
the
GROUP
PANEL
CONTROLS.
The
channel
will
automatically
default
to
GROUP
1,
whose
green
LED
will
light
up.
Assign
the
channel
to
another
group
by
selecting
the
group’s
green
selection
button.
Using
the
red
“DISPLAY
GROUP
SETTINGS”
buttons,
you
can
edit
any
group
from
any
Virtual
Channel.
