Input/output patching

Inserting an external device into a channel

LS9-16/32

Owner’s Manual

If necessary, you can insert an internal effect/GEQ or an external device such as an effect pro-

cessor into the signal path of INPUT channels 1–32 or any output channel (MIX, MATRIX, STE-

REO, MONO). When doing so, the type of input/output port used for the insertion and the signal

patch location of the insertion can be speciﬁed individually for each channel.

Here we will explain how an external device connected to an I/O card in a slot can be inserted

into the desired channel.

Connect your external device to the I/O card

installed in a slot {1/2}.

Press the [HOME] key to access the

SELECTED CH VIEW screen, and use the

[SEL] keys to select the channel into which

you want to insert an external device.

INSERT popup button

Move the cursor to the INSERT popup but-

ton in the screen, and press the [ENTER]

key.

The INSERT popup window will appear. In this popup

window, you can view the insert input/output port,

change the insert position and

switches the insert on/

off, in groups of eight channels.

Channel block diagram

This shows the direct output position (only for INPUT

channels) and the position of the insert connection for

the selected channel.

Channel number

This is the channel number.

Channel name

This is the channel name.

Insert point select box

This selects the insert point for the signal. Move the

cursor to this box and use the dial or the [DEC]/[INC]

keys to switch between PRE EQ (immediately before

the EQ) or PRE FADER (immediately before the

fader).

•

If you install a digital I/O card in a slot and digitally connect an

external device, you must synchronize the word clock of the

LS9 and the external device (

→

p. 46).

NOTE

•

For the INPUT channels, insert connections can be made

only for channels 1–32. If an INPUT channel 33–64 is

selected on the LS9-32, the INSERT popup button is not

shown.
