Direct input
The direct input section provides an internal
connection to effects etc. or an external input into
the output from an effect or line I/O unit. It allows
you to take a signal directly out of a defined point in
the input channel’s signal path and route it to either
an internal assignable effect or to one of the
physical outputs (a physical connection at one of
the line I/O boxes). This function is optional and
assigned on a channel-by-channel basis.
This section is deliberately distanced from main
channel panel controls because it is a limited
resource and unused on many channels.
Selection of signal path source can only be carried out via the GUI.
This section has similar functionality to the direct output section on each input
channel, see “Direct input” on page 281.
For routing information, see Table “Navigating to the Patching screen” on page 16.
Safes
Each output channel has six types of output channel safes that each protects a specific
control/area from the automation system.
You can only operate the safe switches via the channel strips (control surface and GUI),
which also provide on/off status information. The status of some of the safes is
displayed via LEDs in the output fast strips and master strips on the control surface.
For more information on what areas are protected by each safe, see Appendix
H "Parameters Protected By Safes" on page 385.
Insert (GUI only)
You can configure the send and return points of the
aux, matrix and master outputs in the insert
section of the configuration processing area.
For routing information, see “Navigating to the
Patching screen” on page 16.
Output channel delay (GUI only)
Similarly to the input channels, all of the output
channels have a delay that can be incorporated into
the signal path. However, this can be a much
larger delay, being in the range 0ms to 500ms
(milliseconds). For details, see “Input channel
delay (GUI only)” on page 243.
Processing order
Similarly to the input channels, you can change the processing order on all of the
output channels. For details, see “Processing order” on page 247.
