3 In the I/O window, choose both the Outputs and Inputs of your audio hardware (that
your effects unit is connected to).
4 Route the signals of any channel strips that you want to process to the bus (aux channel
strip) chosen in step 3, and set appropriate Send levels.
5 Adjust the Input or Output volume as required in the I/O window.
6 Click the Latency Detection (Ping) button if you want to detect, and compensate for, any
delay between the selected output and input.
When you start playback, the signals of any channel strips routed to the aux channel
(chosen in step 3) will be processed by the external effects unit.
Test Oscillator
The Test Oscillator is useful for tuning studio equipment and instruments, and can be
inserted as both an instrument or effect plug-in. It operates in two modes, generating
either a static frequency or a sine sweep.
In the first mode (default mode), it starts generating the test signal as soon as it is inserted.
You can switch it off by bypassing it. In the second mode (activated by clicking the Sine
Sweep button), Test Oscillator generates a user-defined frequency spectrum tone
sweep—when triggered with the Trigger button.
Waveform buttons: Select the type of waveform to be used for test tone generation.
The Square Wave and Needle Pulse waveforms are available as either aliased or
anti-aliased versions—the latter when used in conjunction with the Anti Aliased
button.
Needle Pulse is a single needle impulse waveform.
If the Sine Sweep button is active, the fixed oscillator settings in the Waveform section
are disabled.
