Chapter8—Patching

7.When you have finished making patching settings, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.

The EFFECT INSERT field will indicate “ON [EXTERNAL] ,” indicating that the selected input/output jacks have been patched to the insert I/O point.

Tip!

To defeat the patching of an insert I/O point, use the ASSIGN button of the EFFECT INSERT field to access the EFF.INSERT SETTING popup window, turn on the OFF button, and select the OK button.

The procedure described above can be made for multiple channels. However, it is not possible for multiple insert sends to share the same output jack.

8.Press the [SETUP] key → [F2] (Patch OUT) key.

The display will show the SETUP screen Patch OUT page. Notice that OMNI OUT ASSIGN field 4 shows “I-M 1”. This means that OMNI OUT jack 4 is being used as an insert send jack for monitor channel 1.

•In this case, changing the patching of OMNI OUT jack 4 in the Patch OUT page will defeat the insert I/O patching as well.

•If you wish to save the patching and insert I/O point settings that you made here, you must store the current settings in a scene memory (not in the patch library or channel library).

•The patch library cannot store insert I/O point settings. (When a patch program is recalled from the patch library, the insert I/O points of all channels will be reset to “OFF.”)

•Patching information cannot be stored in the channel library.
