Chapter 7: Inputs and Input Routing 73
Combining Input Channels (Make Stereo)
Pairs of mono input channels can be combined to make stereo
channels, whose left and right sides are then controlled by one in-
put channel strip. Stereo channels can also be split back into
mono channels.
To combine two mono input channels into a single stereo
channel:
1 Put the system into Config mode.
2 Multi-Select two adjacent Input Channels
3 Right-click either of the selected mono channels on-screen and
choose
Make Selected Mono Strips Stereo.
 Each selected channel is combined with the next-highest se-
lected channel, even if the selected channels are not consecutive.
 Blank strips are created and inserted where necessary to main-
tain channel layout in that bank.
 Parameter values from the left most channel of each pair are
applied to both channels
 The pan control becomes a Balance/Width control.
 Combined channels are shown in the Patchbay as left and right
sides of the Input Channel name. FX Returns are always stereo,
so they cannot be combined or split.
Splitting Stereo Channels
To split a stereo channel into two mono channels:
1 Put the system into Config mode.
2 Select the stereo channel you want to split.
3 Right-click the selected channel and choose Split Selected
Stereo Strip to Mono
.
Each selected stereo channel is split, placing the channels next to
each other on the S3 control surface and in the Patchbay. Delete
blank strips manually to maintain channel layout, if necessary.
Reordering Input Channels Using Drag
and Drop
Input channel strips can moved and reordered by dragging and
dropping an input channel on-screen.
To reorder an input channel:
1 Put the system into Config mode.
2 Go to the Inputs page.
3 Target the input channel that you want to move by clicking the
channel’s on-screen fader strip.
4 Drag the channel, denoted by the blue line, to the desired loca-
tion and release the button on the mouse.
The location of the channel changes on the control surface and
on-screen (on the Inputs page and in the Patchbay). The original
hardware input for the channel remains the same, and all other
channel parameters are preserved.
