Inserting an external device into a channel D INSERT ON/OFF button This button switches the insert on/off. If this button is off, the insert-out/in signal path is bypassed. E INSERT IN popup button This indicates the input port that is selected as the insert-in for this channel. Press this button to open a popup window where you can select the input port. 4 Access either the one-channel or the eightchannel INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup window, and press the INSERT OUT popup button. 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. 1 2 1 Output port select tabs These tabs select the output ports shown in the window. Each tab corresponds to the following output ports. • OMNI (M7CL-48ES only OMNI OUT jacks 1-8 will be displayed. • SLOT 1-SLOT 3 ...........Output channels 1-16 from slots 1- 3 will be displayed. • RACK ...........Input ports to rack 1-8 will be displayed. B Output port select buttons These buttons assign the output port that will be used as insert-out for the currently selected channel. NOTE • If a rack in which a GEQ is mounted is specified as the insertout or insert-in, the other patch point will automatically be assigned to the same rack. Also, insert mode will automatically be switched on. Additionally, if you defeat the insert-out or insert-in of a rack in which a GEQ is mounted, the other patch point will automatically be defeated and at the same time insert mode will automatically be switched off. 5 Use the output port select tabs and the output port select buttons to specify the output port that will be used as insert-out, and press the CLOSE button. You will return to the INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup window. 6 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. Each tab corresponds to the following input ports. • OMNI (M7CL-48ES only OMNI IN jacks 1-8 will be displayed. • SLOT 1-SLOT 3 Input channels 1-16 of slots 1-3 will be displayed. • RACK Output ports to rack 1-8 will be displayed. 7 Specify the input port you will use for insert-in, and press the CLOSE button. 8 Press the INSERT ON/OFF button to turn it ON. In this state, insert-out/in is enabled. Adjust the input/ output levels of your external device as necessary. HINT • If you have selected the OMNI IN jack on the M7CL-48ES as the input port for insert-in, make the HA settings in the 9 INSERT IN HA field. • Even if the INSERT ON/OFF button is OFF, the signal selected for insert-out will continue to be sent. Input/output patching 9 If you want to change the insert-out/in position, access the one-channel INSERT/ DIRECT OUT popup button, and press one of the three INSERT fields. The INSERT field you pressed will be enabled. 10 When you have finished making all settings, click the "×" symbol located in the upper right to close the window.

OMNI OUT jacks 1–8 will be dis-

played.

•

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

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

assigned to the same rack. Also, insert mode will automati-

cally be switched on. Additionally, if you defeat the insert-out

or insert-in of a rack in which a GEQ is mounted, the other

patch point will automatically be defeated and at the same

time insert mode will automatically be switched off.
