Input Patch / Output Patch operations
4Click the grid where the desired patch-source
and patch-destination intersect.
The vertical and horizontal red lines indicate the grid
position where the cursor is located. The SELECTED
PATCH area in the upper left of the screen shows the
input port and input channel for the grid at which the
cursor is located.
When you click a grid, a window will ask you to con-
firm that you want to change the patch setting.
5Click the OK button in the window.
The new patch will be finalized, and a “ ” symbol will
appear at the corresponding grid.
To cancel the patch, click the “ ” symbol once again.
Hint
If you want to change the patch directly without having to
respond to the confirmation window, go to the UTILITY func-
tion PREFERENCE 1 screen and turn PATCH
CONFIRMATION off (
p.204).
To move the cursor location rapidly in or out of the grid, hold
down the [SHIFT] key and press the CURSOR [
]/[
®
]/[
π
]/
[
] keys.
Note
You can patch a single input port to multiple input channels,
but you cannot patch multiple input ports to a single input
channel.
Changing the output patch settings
In the output patch section you can assign output chan-
nels to output ports. When the PM5D is in its initial state,
MIX channels 1–24 are assigned to MIX OUT jacks 1–24.
Other output channels are always connected to the follow-
ing output jacks.
However you can edit the output patch settings so that the
signals of these output channels are also sent from other
output ports in parallel. Here’s how to do this.
1In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, press the
OUTPUT [PATCH] key several times to access
the OUTPUT PATCH screen.
In the OUTPUT PATCH screen you can patch (assign)
output channels to output ports. The horizontal direc-
tion of the screen shows the output ports (i.e., patch
destinations), and the vertical direction of the screen
shows the output channels (i.e., patch sources).
When the PM5D is in its default state, MIX channels
1–24, MATRIX channels 1–8, and the STEREO A
channel are patched to the output channels of slots 1–4
and the 2TR OUT DIGITAL jacks in addition to the
output jacks that are always connected. However, you
are free to change this patching.
2Use the horizontal scroll bar to display the
patch-destination output port.
The horizontal direction of the screen shows the patch
destination’s output port type, ID number, port num-
ber, and the number of output channels that are
assigned to it.
You can select the following output ports.
Input port
Input channel
number
Input channel
name
MIX channels 1–24 MIX OUT jacks 1–24
STEREO A/B channels STEREO OUT jacks A/B
MATRIX channels 1–8 MATRIX OUT jacks 1–8
Monitor output L/R/C MONITOR OUT jacks L/R/C
OUTPUT PATCH
MIX OUT MIX OUT jacks 1–24
SLOT OUT 1–4 Output channels (1–16) of an I/O
card installed in slots 1–4
FX IN 1–8 Inputs (L/R) of internal effects 1–8
2TR OUT D1/D2 2TR OUT DIGITAL jacks 1–2 (L/R)
Indicates the output channel number.
Indicates the number of output ports
assigned to the output channel.
To patch an output port to an output
channel, click this grid to display a “
symbol.
From the top, this area shows the output
port type, ID number, port number, and
number of assigned output channels.
