Step 7 – Patch the sockets

The iLive features a built-in soft patchbay that lets you freely patch input and output sockets. The default Template Shows provide a standard patch as a useful starting point. You can change this patching to suit your application and store it in the Scene and Show memories.

Signals available to patch:

Mono/St Group

Mono/St Aux

Main mix

Mono/St Matrix

Input channel direct output

PAFL monitor L, R

MixRack inputs (mic split)

Bus out 1-32

Wedge/IEM monitor

Select the tab to view the sockets you wish to patch.

Touch the socket to view its current patch or select it for patching.

View and patch channel INPUT sockets

Press SEL for an input channel and view its screen PREAMP page (Make sure the keys next to the TouchScreen are turned off). Use the Source Select boxes at the top of the screen to view and change the input socket feeding the channel. The sockets are identified by Device (Rack, Surface or Port B), Slot (position) and Socket (number).

View and patch OUTPUT sockets

Select the TouchScreen OUTPUTS screen. Touch the tab to select which output sockets to patch - MixRack, Surface or Port B (if the option is fitted).

Touch Single to select and patch a signal to one output. Touch Range to patch related signals to a range of sockets. Touch Apply after each change.

Select source from the drop down menu

Patching INSERTS

In most cases you do not need to insert outboard processing. However, if required you can assign output and input sockets as insert sends and returns for situations where an engineer wants to use a particular device. Any number of inserts may be assigned.

Press a channel or mix SEL key. Return to the top level parameter screen. Touch the INSERT panel to open the INSERT screen.

Use the drop down menus to assign the send and return Devices. After selecting both, touch Apply. Select the required Operating Level, typically +4.

Note - Once a socket is assigned as an insert it is no longer available for other purposes. Unassign the insert to re-use the sockets.
