Groups
As well as palettes the ORB provides 1000 user definable Groups.
Groups are most commonly used when selecting fixtures and programming data to be recorded in cues, palettes etc.
Groups can also be assigned to User Definable Keys (UDKs).
Automatic Groups
In Setup there is an option to generate a set of automatic groups based on the fixture types in the schedule. The desk
generates a group for each of the types of fixtures you have, plus ‘odd’ and ‘even’ groups for each different fixture type
in the schedule.
To create the automatic groups, first enter SETUP, press the [Auto Menus] soft key on the touch screen, select the
[Create Auto Groups] option, then exit Setup.
User Defined Groups
You can create your own groups of fixtures, eg Floor MAC 700’s, FOH MAC 700’s etc.
Simply select the fixtures that you wish to be in the group and then enter the command:
RECORD GROUP n ENTER
Group Window
The Group Window is displayed by default in the bottom right hand corner of Monitor 2 on ORB. To display it on
ORB XF, hold down SHIFT and press GROUP. This window allows you to click and select any of the programmed
groups automatically.
