Linking (Audio Path Routing)
After you have added all the Modules that you want to use, the next step is to connect the
inputs and outputs of each Module to the other Modules or to the GSP-2101 Artist inputs and
outputs. The linking process itself is similar to connecting patch cables between discrete effects
devices; that is, you are connecting outputs to inputs. There are four conditions that govern the
capabilities of the Link mode. They are as follows:
• Outputs can be connected to any number of inputs without using mixer Modules.
• Inputs can be connected to only one output. If you want to connect more than one
output to a single input, you must use a mixer Module in your Algorithm. By using
this method, any number of outputs can be connected to a single input.
• You are always connecting outputs to inputs, much the same as if you were connecting
a series of discrete effects boxes.
• The left side of the display always shows where the connection is coming from, and
the right side of the display shows what the item on the left is currently connected to.
The center section of the display is reserved for graphic representations of the current
connection.
It sounds a bit complicated at first, but once you sit down and try it, you’ll see that it’s simple.
The easiest way to get the routing you want can be reduced to three simple steps:
1. Add the Modules in the order you want them routed.
2. Use AutoLink™. In most cases, if your Modules are ordered correctly, AutoLink™
can usually take care of everything, and there is nothing left to do but save the new
Algorithm.
3. Double-check your routings to make sure they are correct. If necessary, manually Link
(or re-Link) the connections you want.
Step by Step (A Simple Example): After you have read over the section about Algorithm Use,
you may wish to build an Algorithm with a little help. So lets build one together and see just
how simple it really is. Step by step...here we go!
• What sound should we create? How about a chorused reverb? Not a chorus that feeds
a reverb (there are Factory algorithms to do that), rather a reverb that feeds a chorus.
Just for fun lets add a delay that pans back and forth. First, draw it out...
