Chapter 11
Grouping and linking
This chapter explains the DCA Group and Mute Group functions that let you
control the level or muting of multiple channels together, the Channel Link
function that links the parameters of multiple channels, and the operations
that let you copy or move parameters between channels.
The M7CL provides eight DCA groups and eight mute groups that let you control the level of multiple
channels simultaneously.
DCA groups allow you to assign input channels to eight groups, so that the Centralogic section faders
1–8 can be used to control the level of all channels in each group. A single DCA fader will control the
level of all input channels belonging to the same DCA group while maintaining the level difference
between the channels. This provides a convenient way in which drum mics etc. can be grouped.
Mute groups allow you to use user-defined keys [1]–[12] to mute/unmute multiple channels in a single
operation. You can use this to cut out multiple channels simultaneously. Mute groups 1–8 can be used
with both input channels and output channels. Both types of channel can exist in the same group.
This section explains how to assign input channels to the eight DCA groups and use the faders of
the Centralogic section to control them.
To assign a channel to a DCA group, you can either select
a specific DCA group first and then specify the channels
to be assigned to the group, or you can select a specific
channel and then specify the DCA group to which it
should be assigned.
