adjustment (in 1% increments), you may click on the pan control to make it active, and then use the left/right or up/down cursor keys on your computer keyboard. Either way, while the pan setting is being adjusted, its value will appear numerically in the Master Volume’s status box (below the Master Volume Stereo Gang control) as a percentage from left pan to right pan: -100% represents far left, +100% represents far right, and 0% represents the center.

SOLO: Each mixer input channel has a “Solo” checkbox associated with it. Clicking on and activating a Solo box will solo the selected channel by essentially muting all other signals. When more than one channel has Solo selected, all solo channels will be summed to the solo ‘buss’ (path), which is what one might consider an ‘in place’ solo as opposed to a PFL, or pre-fader listen (levels and pans still apply). Deactivating all solo boxes will return all input channels to their previous mute/unmute states.

MUTE: Every mixer input channel has a “Mute” checkbox associated with it. Clicking on and activating the Mute box will remove that signal from the stereo buss. Deactivating the Mute box will add the signal back into the stereo buss.

STEREO GANG: All input channel pairs have a “Stereo Gang” capability. Clicking on and activating the Stereo Gang checkbox will link (or “gang”) the left/right faders so that both channels may be adjusted together as a stereo pair.

Patchbay/Router Page

The Patchbay/Router page allows you to connect each of the Delta 66’s hardware outputs (2 pairs of analog outputs and 1 pair of digital output channels) to specific audio sources within the Delta 66 board. To display this page, click the “Patchbay/Router” tab of the Delta Control Panel.

ON THE MAC: Please substitute the name “SM/ASIO” where referrences are made to “WavOut.” SM/ASIO are the software outputs on the Mac, while WavOut are the software outputs on the PC. Substitute “Windows multimedia applet” with “Sound Manager Applet.”

The leftmost vertical column of Patchbay/Router page, “H/W Out 1/2,” connects this hardware analog stereo pair to one of six stereo sources:

1.The default setting, “WavOut 1/2”, connects ports OUT1 and OUT2 to your music software or Windows multimedia applet. In other words, when music software plays audio to the device named “WavOut 1/2 Delta-66” it will be routed directly to the “hardware” analog outputs 1 & 2 of your Delta 66’s break- out box.

2.The second option, “Monitor Mixer,” connects ports OUT1 and OUT2 to the outputs of the Delta 66 monitor mixer. For more information of the capabilities of the monitor mixer, please see the section “Monitor Mixer Page.”
