EDIT - Routing and Layout

Mode

Rate Mode - This is where you decide what basic layout of the grid you want to work with. There are three different setups:

1)Two channels with four processing positions on each channel (44.1/48kHz)

2)One processing position on both channels. (88.2/96kHz)

3)Three processing positions on Ch.1 and none at Ch.2 (88.2/96kHz)

The difference between the three modes is, that the processing sample rate in the first mode is 44.1 or 48 kHz, where it is 88.2 or 96 kHz in the other two modes. The arrow boxes on each side of the processing blocks indicates the up and down sampling of the signal.

NOTE: In mode three there will still be signal through channel two, and you still have the M/S matrix, Delay, Insert and the processing on the front available (Locut/Softclip).

Ch.1 to Ch.2 -

Ch.1 input to Ch.2, post processing

This is a built in Y-split that enables you to get channel one’s input signal on both processing lines. You can select whether the signal should be taken before (Pre) or after (Post) the processing blocks of channel one. The post setting actually enables you to use all eight processing blocks at 44.1/48 kHz Mode in a serial way for channel one’s input.

NOTE: The signal for Ch.2 will be taken right after Locut and Softclip, but before Phase Invert. Therefore Locut and Softclip will be set to Off on Ch.2, but Phase Invert will be available on both channels.

The M/S Matrix will not be available because M/S recording needs two separate inputs.

In the Post mode Links will not be available.

Insert -

Insert placed post processing

With this parameter you select if you want to have the Insert block present in the Routing grid, and if it should be placed before (Pre) or after (Post) the processing blocks.

NOTE: You have to select the send/return source on the Signal page.

Columns and Blocks

The functions here are somewhat similar to the functions of a spreadsheet. Use them when you want to move, insert or delete a whole Column or a single Block.

Column -

Move Left - Will move the current Column to the left. Move Right - Will move the current Column to the right. Insert Col - Will insert a new Column.

Delete Col - Will delete the current Column.

Block -

Move Left - Will move the current Block left.

Move Right - Will move the current Block right.

Insert Block- Will Insert a new Block.

Delete Block- Will delete the current Block.

Press Enter to carry out the selected function.
