8.5 Channel Mixing Functions
8.5.1 Group Bus Routing
System 5-B’s group busses can be used for sub-groups, clean feeds and matrix outputs.
The center section (CM401) has a Main/Group/Aux Master Strip that controls the mas-
ter Group functions (see Chapter 7: Busses and Bus Masters).
Route a Channel to a Group Bus
To route the post-fader channel signal to a group bus, press the GRP route key below
the function switches (Figure 8-17). This assigns the Group routing parameters to the
knobset (Figure 8-18). Two Group busses are displayed per knob (i.e., 1/2, 3/4, etc.).
Since the display shows only four characters, Group 11/12 is displayed as 11/2.
Figure 8-17 GRP and MAIN route switches
The upper switch to the left of each knob assigns the first of the two Groups in the
display, the lower switch assigns the second (i.e., for 1/2, upper switch assigns 1, lower
assigns 2). Group busses can be assigned in pairs from the switch in the center of the
knob. The keys light to indicate this channel is assigned to that Group Bus.
Press the Pan to: key to switch Pan in/out for the Group Buss. This key is active only
when accessing the Main or Group Bus routing pages. The key lights dimly in other
modes to show that Pan is active in Main and/or Group Bus routing. The GRP route
key also lights dimly in other modes to show that channel is assigned to one or more
Group Busses.
