Single patching (SINGLE)
The SINGLE function button lets you patch a single source to a single destination
or multiple destinations.
>> To patch a single source to a single destination
The following example shows you how to patch an output from a mic splitter to
an input channel.
1. Click SINGLE.
2. Select the source patch connector. For example, in the Stage I/O tab of the
From section, click the rst patch connector (XLR1) of card A of the DL351
Modular I/O. Its background will change to yellow and a green triangle will
appear under the tab title (as shown below).
3. Select the destination patch connector. For example, in the Inputs tab of
the To section, click the patch connector for input channel 14 (Mic14). It will
now be patched to the source. If the new patch is carrying a signal, this audio
may be heard, depending on the settings of the control centre.
Note: You can also carry out single patching operations using the CLEAR SEL. and
AUTO functions.
>> To patch a single source to multiple destinations
1. Patch the desired source patch connector to one of its destinations,
as detailed in “To patch a single source to a single destination”.
2. In the To section, select the other destinations.
Sequence patching (SEQ.)
If you need to do a number of patches, and each has only a single destination,
you can use the sequence function. All of the source patch connectors are
selected in the From section before being patched, one by one, in the To section.
This saves you having to go back to the From section at the start of each patch.
To assist you in sequence patching, you can change the tooltip to the list type
(see “List tooltip”).
Automatic patching (AUTO)
You can patch a block of source patch connectors, by selecting a single
destination. This is called “automatic patching”. When using automatic patching,
note the following:
• Sources are selected in blocks (see “To select a block of patch connectors in
the From section”).
• You can only select one block of sources at a time.
• Destinations are restricted to a single type (for example, inputs).
• The selected destination forms the start of the automatically patched range
of destinations.
• Sources and destinations are automatically patched in ascending order,
the lowest numbered source and the selected destination forming the rst
patch.
• Sources will only be patched up to the highest numbered destination of
the current destination type. If there are any sources left over, automatic
patching pauses. You can then patch these by selecting another destination.
>> To automatically patch a block of source channels
1. Click AUTO.
2. In the From section, select the source patch connectors (see “To select a
block of patch connectors in the From section”).
3. In the To section, choose the destination patch connector that will form the
start of the automatic patching range. For example, input channel 3 (Mic3).
4. Click the destination patch connector. The sources will be patched in
numerical sequence and in ascending order from here onwards.
Clearing all current patching
Caution
The CLEAR function button clears all current
patching, and must be used with great caution.
To alert you of the drastic nature of using this button, a
WARNING appears.
>> To clear all current patching
1. Click CLEAR. The WARNING window (shown below) will appear.
2. Heed the warning and do one of the following:
• If you want to clear all current patching, click OK.
• To cancel the clear operation and close the WARNING window,
click CANCEL.
