4 – Routing & assignment : Channel-to-buss assignment

Use the POD 3 encoder to select banks of eight chan- nel modules at a time, and the display changes as these are selected. You can also select busses in groups of eight, as well as the aux sends (see below).

Use the wheel or left and right cursor keys to navi- gate round the screen (you can also use the SEL keys or fader selection), and the ENTER key to assign and de-assign busses or the stereo (ST) or direct outputs (DIR). As you make and break these assignments, the indicators by the control surface keys mirror the screen settings (and the other way round).

Pan switch There is an invisible “pan switch” which links and unlinks pairs of busses (this also depends on the linked pan mode).

When this switch is set, and busses are linked, they are also joined for panning and they are assigned in pairs.

However, when this switch is not set, the buss pairs can be split for individual assignment.

•Pressing and holding the SHIFT key while pressing one of the ASSIGN keys operates a split or join function on a buss pair, allowing busses to be individually assigned when split.

In Figure 4.7, Buss assignments with the pan switch off, channel module 3 is selected, and assigned only to buss 3, which has been separated from buss 4.

The linked pan mode (“BUSS Link/BUSS PAN are Linked” on page 35) also determines whether split- ting a buss pair either splits the busses for channels individually (as in the example screen above), or all together for all channels. When this parameter is set off, buss pairs may be split individually, and when it is on, buss pairs are split together.

Note that buss assignment is also connected to mod- ule linking. In this illustration, channels 1 and 2 are linked, but are assigned to busses 1 and 2. In this case, the assignments are linked, so assigning chan- nel 1 to buss 1 also links channel 2 to buss 1.
