The grid represented in the AUTO CONFIG display is used to manually over-ride the automation's mode switching. The selected channel is displayed in the upper left of the display. If the displayed channel is part of a group, this is indicated in the upper right of the grid. [. . . ] Any group slave may be individually automated just like any other control. It reads its own moves, which would be offset by the moves of the Group Master. Grouping Automated Controls It is possible to create a group containing controls that have existing dynamic automation moves. In this case, the mix moves of the group slaves are maintained while following the overall moves of the Group Master. Essentially, this is using the movements of the group master to trim the moves of the group slaves. [. . . ]
