Basics of Signal Selection

Each of the M/E banks, PGM/PST bank and auxiliary bus control block has 32 cross-point buttons and three reentry buttons (four in the case of the auxiliary bus control block).

These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks and block, and a signal is assigned to each number.

The basis of signal selection is to select, in a cross-point button row, the crosspoint button to which is assigned the desired signal.

Reentry buttons

To use the output of one M/E bank as background input to another bank, use the reentry buttons [M/E1], [M/E2], and [M/E3] (on the auxiliary bus control block, [M/E1], [M/E2], [M/E3], and [PGM]) in the cross-point control block of the destination bank.

For example, to feed the output from the M/E-1 bank as the background B input to M/E-2, in the M/E-2 cross-point control block, press the [M/E1] button in the background B row.

Bus Selection

Each row of 32 cross-point buttons is shared by multiple buses.

For example, in the M/E-1 bank, the key 1 row of buttons can be assigned either to the key 1 bus or to the key 3 bus. The [KEY3] button switches between these two assignments.

To assign a bus to the cross-point buttons in the auxiliary bus control block, press one of the AUX delegation buttons to select the bus.

The following table illustrates the correspondence between buses and crosspoint button rows, and the delegation operations.
