THE COMBINATOR1312
Adding existing devices to the Combi from the rack
You can move devices in the rack that are currently outside the Combi into the Combinator holder. This works as fol-
lows:
1. If you want to add more than one device at the same time, [Ctrl]-select (Win) or [Shift]-select (Mac) the devices.
2. Click on the panel area of a device.
You can click anywhere outside the actual parameters and displays.
3. Drag the device(s) into the Combinator.
A thick orange vertical line indicates where the device(s) will be positioned. Note that the orange line can be to the
left of a device (indicating that the moved device will be inserted before the other device) or to the right of a device
(indicating that the moved device will be inserted after the other device). You can also add devices to the empty
space at the bottom of the Combi holder.
• No auto-routing will take place.
The existing connections to the rack will be kept, so there may be external routing connections (see “About Exter-
nal Routing”). If there are, “External Routing” will be shown the Combinator name display (and on the back of the
Combinator a LED indicator will be lit).
• If you drag devices into the Combi with [Shift] pressed, the devices will be disconnected from the rack and
auto-routed according to the insert position.
The routing between dragged devices will be kept. If it isn’t possible to auto-route a dragged device (e.g. if there
are no free From Devices inputs on the Combinator Mixer), the device will become unconnected.
• If you drag devices into the Combi with [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) pressed, the devices will be copied. No
auto-routing takes place.
Using [Shift] at the same time will attempt to auto-route according to the same rules as described above.
Combining two Combis
• If you select two Combinators in the rack and then select “Combine” from the Edit/context menu the lower
Combi will be uncombined and the devices added to the upper Combi in the rack when combining.
Existing routing will be unchanged.
