How to patch
Patching, basically, involves selecting the source patching connectors in the
From section of the Patching screen and then selecting their destination(s) in the
To section. You can select patches singly, or in multiples by using the sequence
and automatic operations.
Each patch connector has three possible states, as indicated by its ll colour.
The following table shows what each state signies (the examples show XLR
connectors, although it applies to any type of patch connector).
