Group channels in fives...

You can group channels by 5.  This setting can be found in Desk Settings under Displays.

The only way I know of to group channels by other than 5 is to leave deliberate gaps in the patch and use the patched channels flexi state.

Thank you, will have a look into this! If anyone has any other methods I would very much be interested in hearing them.

JennNoel has it correct that it's a Setup configuration. Display - Setup - Desk - Displays - Group Chans by 5 - set to Enabled.

FWIW, you might need to toggle thru the Flexi states - Patched - Manual - Show - Active - Selected, then finally grouped by 5, to see the separation.

I personally don't use it, preferring Patched Channels, but I'd recommend playing with various display configurations to find what works for you.

Thanks, Steve. I probably won't have time to make the necessary adjustments to leave spaces in patch, was hoping that there'd be some way of altering the grouping in the channel display without doing so, seems not. Ideally I would like them to be grouped in sixes. Think being able to adjust the display in this way would be an incredibly helpful feature.

Thanks to all of you for the responses!

Just a note that a lot of people miss.... you don't actually have to toggle through each flexi state.  If you hold the flexi button down, the softkeys change to allow direct selection of the required flexi mode.   There are a couple of options on the second page of SKs.

Remember as well that the scroll wheel on the mouse allows you to zoom in/out of the channel screen (there's another way as well - encoder wheel, plus ?).  Also maybe start to think differently about how you layout channels to skip so as to get the display you desire.
