01V96i—Reference Manual
Other Functions
Cascading Consoles
The 01V96i features a Cascade Bus that enables cascade con-
nection. You can connect two 01V96is in cascade using the
digital inputs and outputs, or the OMNI IN and OMNI OUT
connectors. In this way, two consoles work just like one big
console, integrating each unit’s Buses 1–8, Aux Sends 1–8,
Stereo Bus, and Solo Bus.
The following functions are linked between two cascaded
01V96is via the MIDI IN and OUT ports.
• Display page selection
•Solo function
•Fader Mode
• Metering Position
• Peak Hold On/Off
• Meter Fast Fall o n/off
• Scene Store, Recall, and Title Edit
The following paragraphs explain how to make a cascade
connection using two 01V96is and the inputs and outputs of
the digital I/O card installed in the slot of each 01V96i.
1. Install digital I/O cards into the slot on each
of two 01V96is.
2. Connect two 01V96is as follows:
• Connect the digital I/O card output on the transmitting
01V96i (slave) to the digital I/O card input on the receiv-
ing 01V96i (master).
• Connect the ADAT IN connector on the master unit to
the ADAT OUT connector on the slave unit.
• Connect the MIDI IN port on the master unit to the
MIDI OUT port on the slave unit using a MIDI cable.
• Connect the MIDI OUT port on the master unit to the
MIDI IN port on the slave unit using a MIDI cable.
3. On the slave unit, press the DISPLAY ACCESS
[PATCH] button repeatedly until the Patch |
Out Patch page appears.
4. Assign the Bus signals to the channels that are
used for the cascade connection.
The following signals are available:
The following display page is an example of integrating
Bus 1–8, Aux Send 1–4, Stereo Bus, and Solo Bus signals
via the ADAT IN and OUT connectors and two 8-chan-
nel digital I/O cards (such as MY8-AT).
5. On the master unit, press the DISPLAY
ACCESS [PATCH] button repeatedly until the
Patch | Cascade In page appears.
6. Select the Input Channels on the master unit
to which the Bus signals are input from the
Slave unit.
The following display page is an example of receiving the
slave unit’s Bus 1–8, Aux Send 1–4, Stereo Bus, and Solo

Using a 16-channel digital I/O card (such as MY16-AT) enables you to cascade all buses.
