Input/output patching

Access either the one-channel or the eight-

channel INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup win-

dow, and press the INSERT OUT popup but-

ton.

The OUTPUT PORT SELECT popup window will

appear, allowing you to select the output port used for

insert-out. The window includes the following items.

These tabs select the output ports shown in the win-

dow. Each tab corresponds to the following output

ports.

•

SLOT 1–SLOT 3

...........

Output channels 1–16 from slots 1–

3 will be displayed.

• RACK

...........

Input ports to rack 1–8 will be dis-

played.

Output port select buttons

These buttons assign the output port that will be used

as insert-out for the currently selected channel.

Use the output port select tabs and the out-

put port select buttons to specify the out-

put port that will be used as insert-out, and

press the CLOSE button.

You will return to the INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup

window.

Press the INSERT IN popup button.

The INPUT PORT SELECT popup window will

appear, allowing you to select the input port used for

insert-in.

Specify the input port you will use for

insert-in, and press the CLOSE button.

Press the INSERT ON/OFF button to turn it

ON.

In this state, insert-out/in is enabled. Adjust the input/

upper right to close the window.

You will return to the OVERVIEW screen.

As desired, make insert settings for other

channels as well.

•

If a rack in which a GEQ is mounted is speciﬁed as the insert-

out or insert-in, the other patch point will automatically be

assigned to the same rack.

Additionally, if you defeat the insert-out or insert-in of a rack in

which a GEQ is mounted, the other patch point will automati-

cally be defeated.

Even if the INSERT ON/OFF button is OFF, the signal

selected for insert-out will continue to be sent.
