ROUTING AUDIO AND CV
47
Color Coding
Cables are color coded in the following way, making it easier to discern between the
various connections:
• Audio connections are different shades of red.
• CV connections are different shades of yellow.
• Connections to and from Effects devices are different shades of green.
Automatic Routing
Auto-routing is when devices are automatically routed according to default rules.
Auto-routing is performed in the following circumstances:
• When a new device is created.
• When moving, duplicating or pasting devices with [Shift] pressed.
Automatic Routing Rules
Reason Mixer devices
D The first created mixer device will be routed to the first available input
pair in the Hardware Device.
Routing devices to the Mixer
D When an Instrument Device is created, it is auto-routed to the first avail-
able mixer channel(s).
Adding an effect to the Mixer
D When you have a mixer selected and create an effect device, it will be
connected as a send effect (to the first free Aux Send/Return).
Examples of effects that lend themselves well for use as send effects are reverb
and delay.
D If there are no free Aux Sends on the mixer, the effect will be routed as
an insert effect, after the mixer.
That is, the master output signal from the mixer will be routed through the effect.
Adding an effect directly to a device (Insert)
D When you have an instrument device selected and create an effect, that
effect will be connected as an insert effect. That is, the signal from the
device will pass through that effect and to the mixer (or to another ef-
fect).
Adding an effect between the Mixer and the hardware interface.
D If you select the hardware interface at the top of the rack and add an ef-
fect device, it will be routed as an insert effect between the main mixer
and the hardware interface.
This is where you typically would add an MClass Mastering Suite Combi.
These cables are green, indicating
effect device connections.
This cable is yellow, indicating
a CV connection.
These cables are red, indicating connections
between instruments and mixer devices.
