Groups 
Introduction 
The Solution & Solution XL desk provides 400 user definable Groups. Groups 
are most commonly used when selecting fixtures and programming data to be 
recorded in memories, submasters and palettes.  
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 an All Fixtures group, a group for each fixture type in the schedule, 
including  dimmers,  plus  an  „odd‟  and  „even‟  group  for  each  different  fixture 
type in the schedule. 
User  Defined  Groups  -  In  addition  to  the  Automatic  Groups,  you  can  also 
create your own groups of fixtures, eg Floor MACs,  Left Stage Movers etc. 
User defined groups can be all of the same fixture type or any combination of 
fixture types.

number. For example:
