THE COMBINATOR1311
Adding devices to a Combi
Creating new devices in a Combi
To add devices to a Combi, you can drag and drop them from the device palette in the Browser as usual.
If you want to add devices using the Create menu or by double clicking in the device palette, you need to make the
Combinator the target device in one of the following ways:
D Click in the empty area at the bottom of the open device container so that the red insertion line is shown:
If you create a device with the insertion line showing, the new device will appear at the bottom of the Combi con-
tainer.
D If the Combi already has devices in it, select a device in the Combi (but not the Combinator device itself).
When you add a device from the Create menu it will appear below the selected device (just like in the rack).
! No sequencer tracks will be automatically created for devices added to a Combi.
About auto-routing
The auto-routing of devices in a Combi is similar to devices in the rack:
• If a device in a Combi is selected, the new created device will appear below the selected device according to
standard rules.
• If an effect is selected and you create a new effect device, these will be connected serially.
• If an instrument device is selected and you create an effect it will be connected as an insert effect to the instru-
ment device.
• If a mixer is selected and you create an effect it will be connected as a mixer send effect.
• If an instrument device is selected and you create another instrument device it will be added below the se-
lected device and connected to the first available Combinator Mixer input channel.
• If you hold down [Shift] and create a new device, no auto-routing will take place.
• If you hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) and create a new device, a sequencer track will be created
for the device.
D If you add a device to an empty Combi, its output(s) will be auto-routed to the first available “From Devices”
connector(s) of the Combinator Mixer. For effect devices, the input will also auto-route to the “To Devices”
connectors.
