Making Your Own Programs - Chapter 4
Routing
Routing is the Function used to connect audio between the L/R IN and the Effect Blocks and the L/R OUT. We must route audio to both the inputs and outputs of our EQ Block in order to hear its effect. Routing is always done by selecting the destination (where you want the audio to go to) and assigning it a source (where you want the audio to come from). After making a connection, you can then adjust the level of the sourceÕs signal.
➀Use the [< BLOCK >] buttons to select the EQ Block we just created.
If you just finished the previous tutorial, the EQ Block should already be selected.
✪The IN L/R is not selectable as a Block.
➁ Press [ROUTING].
The [ROUTING] buttonÕs LED will light and the display will read:
ADD ROUTE FROM: INPUT LEFT
The cursor appears under the setting (INPUT LEFT) which is flashing.
➂Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to scroll through the various options. The choices are INPUT LEFT, INPUT RIGHT or EQ 1 MIX. As you scroll through, notice the flashing Òpatch cordÓ which appears in the lower display connecting IN L to EQ IN or IN R to EQ IN or M out to EQ IN, depending on which option you are viewing in the upper display.
All three options are routed to the EQ BlockÕs input, so their nomenclature is determined by their source, i.e. FROM INPUT LEFT, FROM INPUT RIGHT, etc.
➃With the ÒINPUT RIGHTÓ option selected, press the [VALUE/ENTER] button. This connects the signal from the Right input of the Q20 (IN R) to the input of the EQ module.
Upon pressing the [VALUE/ENTER] button in step 3, the display automatically advances to Page 2, which is where we may set the level of this connection (the volume from the right input to the EQ in). The display now reads:
LEVEL FROM: INPUT RIGHT =
✪The patch cord will still flash until a level has been dialed in.
➄Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select the input level for this connection.
Level Setting
The input level is an important parameter, the setting of which can have a drastic impact on the resulting effect. ItÕs default setting of
