12  Grouping Channels & Linking 
Parameters
This chapter describes how to group faders or [ON] buttons for multiple channels and link 
the EQ or compressor parameters for simultaneous operation.
Grouping & Linking
On the DM1000, you can group faders or [ON] buttons for multiple Input Channels or 
multiple Output Channels (Bus Outs 1–8, Aux Outs 1–8) and link the EQ or compressor 
parameters.
The following elements can be grouped or linked within Input Channels or Output Chan-
nels.
•Fader group
Input Channel or Output Channel faders can be grouped. There are eight Input Channel 
Fader groups and four Output Channel Fader groups. When channel faders are grouped, 
operating one of them enables you to control the level of the other grouped faders while 
maintaining the relative level differences.
Also, the DM1000 features a Fader Group Master function that enables you to control the 
level of all grouped channels using the Group Master level while maintaining the relative 
level balance between channels.
•Mute group
Input Channel or Output Channel [ON] buttons can be grouped. There are eight Input 
Channel mute groups and four Output Channel mute groups. When channel [ON] buttons 
are grouped, pressing any one of them turns the [ON] buttons for all the grouped channels 
on or off. A mute group can include On channels and Off channels at the same time, which 
turn off or on respectively when you press any one of the grouped [ON] buttons.
Also, the DM1000 features a Mute Group Master function that enables you to mute 
grouped channels using the Master Mute buttons.
•EQ Link
Input or Output Channel EQ parameters can be linked. There are four EQ links for Input 
Channels and Output Channels respectively.
All channels in an EQ link share the same EQ parameter settings. When you change an EQ 
parameter value for one of the linked channels, the change is applied to all other linked 
channels.
•Compressor Link
Input or Output Channel compressor parameters can be linked. There are four compressor 
links for Input Channels and Output Channels respectively.
All channels in a compressor link share the same compressor parameter settings. When you 
change a compressor parameter value for one of the linked channels, the change is applied 
to all other linked channels.

2Press the up ( ) or down ( ) button to select a group.
3Press the [SEL] button for a channel you wish to add to the group.
The selected channel is marked with “ ” and the channel is added to the group.
4In the same way, press the [SEL] button for other channels you wish to add 
to the group.
The relative level of the faders for the grouped channels is determined by the position of the 
faders when the channels were added to the group.
The On/Off status of the grouped channels is determined by the [ON] button status when 
the channels were added to the group.
5To turn a group on or off, move the corresponding button in the ENABLE 
column, then press [ENTER].
When the group Enable button is turned off, the corresponding group is temporarily can-
celled.
6To use a fader group, operate one of the faders for the grouped channels. Tip:  
•If you add one channel from a pair to a group, the pair partner is automatically added to 
the group.
•You can also select a channel on another layer by switching layers.
Note:  
•If you wish to change the relative level balance between the grouped channels while this page 
is displayed, first turn off the Enable button or remove the channels for which you want to 
change the level from the group.
•If other pages are displayed, press and hold down the [SEL] button for the desired channels 
to temporarily remove them from the group, then change the level balance.
Example: Fader group C is selected.
Example: Input Channels 1–6, and 13–14 have been added to 
Fader group C.

7To use a mute group, press one of the [ON] buttons for the grouped channels.
All channels in the group switch their on/off status.
Using Fader Group Master
The DM1000 features a Fader Group Master function that enables you to control the level of 
all channels using the Group Master level while maintaining the relative balance between 
channels, much like a VCA group on an analog mixing console. While this function is enabled, 
channel fader operation does not affect channel levels in the corresponding Fader group.
1After you perform Step 5 in “Using Fader Groups and Mute Groups” on 
page 148, use the cursor buttons to select the INPUT FADER MASTER check 
box or the OUTPUT FADER MASTER check box, then press [ENTER] to turn 
on the Fader Group Master function.
2When the Fader Master check box is checked, you can set channel levels of 
the Fader groups in the Master column.
When the Master column is selected, repeatedly pressing the [ENTER] button turns the 
Fader group on and off.
You can also make these settings in the In Master page or Out Master page, as shown below.
3Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [GROUP] button repeatedly until the Group | In 
Master or Group | Out Master page appears.Note:  
•While a mute group is enabled, you cannot turn a subset of the grouped channels on or off.
•If you wish to turn a subset of the grouped channels on or off, first turn off the Enable button, 
or remove the channels you wish to turn on or off from the group.
