Recording groups on Express consoles
Groups
The console allows you to record frequently used combinations of channels into units called groups. You may record up to 500 groups. Once you record a group, it can be combined with other channels and groups to create cues, submasters, effects, focus points or other groups. The principal difference between a group and a cue is that a group cannot be played back through a fader or slider. Consequently, it has no fade times, wait times or other playback attributes. Group numbers, which are independent of cue numbers, are whole numbers in the range of 1 to 999.

Recording a group using Solo

See Recording a cue using Solo, for the procedures to use, substituting the [Group] key where those procedures specify the [Cue] key.
