Create a Signal Flow Template
This can be done in either Live Mode or Design Mode. When you are storing multiple presets in the System
Processor, you will save considerable time by creating a signal flow template that contains the attributes
that will be common among them. This template can then be recalled from the device or opened from a
scene file on PC, revised as necessary, then stored in the device each time as a new preset.
1. Name Input and Output Channels
Double-click on the input and output gain blocks to open the processor parameter windows, and edit the
channel labels that appear underneath the gain controls. For more information, refer to the Labeling
Inputs and Outputs section on page 17.
2. Populate the Signal Flow Diagram
Drag and drop signal processor blocks from the Processor Toolbox onto the signal flow diagram. If you
are using crossovers, they should be the first type of processor that you place in the configuration,
followed by limiters, in order to prevent loudspeaker damage. For more information, refer to the Adding
Processors section on page 20.
3. Create Link Groups
CTRL+Click to select multiple processors of the same type that you would like to control as a group, for
stereo pairs, loudspeaker clusters, zones, etc. You can also link gain blocks in order to control overall
system level. For more information, refer to the Linking section on page 25.
4. Trim Output Levels
Double-click on the output gain blocks to open the Output Gain window. Reduce the output gain of each
channel by –30dB to prevent loud signal from passing through the system. If output channels are linked,
you need to adjust only one fader to change all linked channels to the same level.
5. Route Signal from Inputs to Outputs
Click and drag from input strip connection points to output strip connection points to route the signal through
the Matrix Mixer. For more information, refer to the Signal Routing section on page 18.
6. Adjust Processor Settings
Double-click on each processor block to open its parameter window. If you are working off-line in
Design Mode, you can set preliminary levels and tweak them later when you are connected to the
device. For more information on working with processors, refer to the Processor Features section on
page 31, as well as the reference section for each processor.
7. Map Processors to Control Connections
Each preset must contain a map to the control pin connections for the hardware to recognize the
external devices when the preset is active. Open the Control Pin window and select the checkboxes
next to the input and output channels that each control connection will address. For more information,
refer to the Control Pins section on page 76.
8. Lock Processors for Read-Only Access
This step is applicable only when you are customizing security for the end user. This type of security is
stored with each processor, at the preset level. Select the processors that the user should not be able to
modify, and select [Security>Level 2>Lock Selected] from the main menu. For a complete explanation
and further instructions, refer to the Individual Processor Security section on page 87.
