Notes on Splitter utility and Mixer utility use
Dragging a Splitter utility into the Pedal area automatically inserts a Mixer utility to the far
right of all inserted pedals.
You cannot drag a Splitter utility to the far right of all inserted pedals, to directly after an
inserted Splitter utility, to directly in front of an inserted Mixer utility, or to an empty space
in the Pedal area.
Dragging a Mixer utility into the Pedal area automatically creates a split point at the earliest
possible point—the leftmost point—within the signal chain.
You cannot drag a Mixer utility to the first slot in the Pedal area, to between an inserted
Splitter and Mixer utility combination, or directly to the right of an inserted Mixer utility.
Create a second bus routing
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
• Move your pointer immediately above the Pedal area to open the Router, and click the
name of a stompbox in the Router.
Two gray lines appear in the Router. The lower one represents Bus A and the upper one
Bus B. The pedal name moves to the upper line. The chosen stompbox is now routed to
Bus B, and a Mixer utility pedal is automatically added to the end of the signal chain.
• Drag a Splitter utility pedal into the Pedal area when more than one pedal is inserted.
This also inserts a Mixer at the end of the signal chain if one doesn’t already exist.
Remove the second bus routing
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
• Delete the Mixer and Splitter utility pedals from the Pedal area.
• Remove all stompboxes from the Pedal area. This automatically removes any
Mixer utility.
Remove an effect from the second bus
• In Logic Pro, click the name of the pedal in the Router. (You can also click the lower gray
line immediately above the pedal to remove the pedal from the second bus.)
Note:
The removal of all effects from Bus B does not remove the second bus. The Mixer
utility pedal remains in the Pedal area, even when a single stompbox (effect) is in the
Pedal area. This enables parallel routing of wet and dry signals. Only when all pedal
effects are removed from the Pedal area are the Mixer utility and second bus removed.
Determine the split point between busses
When more than one bus is active, a number of dots appear along the “cables”—the gray
lines—in the Router. These represent the output (the socket) of the pedal to the lower left
of the dot.
• In Logic Pro, click the appropriate dot to determine the split point where the signal
is routed between busses.
A cable appears between the busses when you click a dot.
Note: You cannot create a split point directly before or after the Mixer utility.
