RFM Space — Beyond Modular
HomeCore ConceptsGroups

Groups

Groups let you treat several modules as one logical part of a Space. They are useful for organisation, moving related modules together and building larger instruments from smaller functional blocks.

Multiple selected modules can be assigned to a group from the context menu.

Creating a group

Select the modules that belong together and use the group assignment command. The menu shows the available group slots and whether a group is already occupied. This makes it possible to build the structure of a Space deliberately instead of relying only on physical rack position.

What belongs together?

A classic example is an oscillator, filter, envelope and VCA that together form one voice. A more elaborate group might contain a complete sequenced instrument or a processing chain. The useful question is not “how many modules can I group?” but “which modules do I want to think of as one unit?”

Groups are not audio connections

Grouping modules does not magically route their audio or modulation. It organises modules; routing still determines how signals actually travel. Keeping those concepts separate avoids a lot of confusion.

Working with selections

The same selection menu also gives access to operations such as reset, cabling removal, rack optimisation and saving a selection as a Voice Group. This makes multi-selection useful beyond grouping alone.
