MANAGING THE RACK
52
Manual Routing
To connect devices manually, you need to flip the rack around to see the back.
This is done by pressing [Tab] or selecting “Toggle Rack Front/Rear” from the
Options menu.
On the back of each device you will find connectors of two different types: audio
and CV (Control Voltage, used for controlling parameters - see the Operation
Manual pdf). Audio inputs and outputs are shown as large “quarter inch” jacks,
while CV input and output jacks are smaller. For now, we stick to audio connec-
tions.
! When the back is shown, you can still navigate in the rack by scroll-
ing, by using the computer keyboard, etc. (see page 48).
There are two ways to route audio from one device to another: by connecting
“virtual patch cables” between inputs and outputs, and by selecting connections
from a pop-up menu:
Using Cables
! For the cables to be visible, the option “Show Cables” must be acti-
vated on the Options menu. See below.
1. Click on the desired input or output jack on one of the devices, and
drag the pointer away from the jack (with the mouse button
pressed).
A loose cable appears.
2. Drag the cable to the jack on the other device.
When you move the cable end over a jack of the correct type (audio/CV, in-
put/output) it will be highlighted to show that a connection is possible.
3. Release the mouse button.
The cable is connected. If both input and output are in stereo and you con-
nect the left channels, a cable for the right channel is automatically added.
! Dragging a cable to make a connection can be aborted by pressing
[Esc] while keeping the mouse button pressed.
✪ To give a better overview of the connections, the cables have differ-
ent colors. Connections to or from effect devices are different
shades of green, other audio connections are different shades of
red and CV connections are different shades of yellow.
