Settings System 9 Chapter

To couple external boxes

For the external boxes that you want to connect, set the same destinations and levels in step 6.

By coupling a number of external boxes, you can increase the number of inputs.

Example:

External box 1: set to 8 × 1 size

External box 2: set to 32 × 1 size

By coupling these two external boxes, you obtain 40 inputs (=8+32).
