Plugins Can Change the Rack Structure
Mixer channels can be mono or stereo. The format selected in the input section defines the rest of the channel (i.e., rack,
imager, and output). You can, however, use a mono-to-stereo plugin to convert a channel from mono to stereo at any position
in the rack.
This example shows a mono rack. API-560 and Doubler 2 in the first two slots are mono components.
RChannel in slot 3 is a mono-to-stereo plugin, so its processing and output are stereo. The rest of the
rack can be stereo only, so the Scheps 73 beneath it is stereo. The first two plugins remain mono.
Moving a mono-to-stereo plugin up or down the rack will change the point at which the rack converts
from mono to stereo. This is useful when you want to have very well-focused mono processing at the
top of the rack’s signal flow, and then add more spacious effects further down the chain.
