Custom Blocks Menu
Multiple component objects may be merged into a single custom block.
Custom Blocks can simplify the design process by integrating frequently
used component combinations, and provide password protection for
intellectual property such as unique processing and component settings.
Create Custom Block Document
Create Custom Block Document opens a new DAP
file, and a Create Custom DSP Block screen
determines the quantities of audio and logic
inputs/outputs necessary for the custom block.
These quantities should match the combined totals
from all components to be included in the custom
block. Once quantities are selected, appropriate
APT (Audio Pass-Through) and LPT (Logic Pass-
Through) blocks are placed into the layout. The
desired components are then placed within, and
connected to, the APT and LPT blocks.
Components may be added individually, or copied
as a group from a separate DAP file.
Certain components (such as Inputs/Outputs and Control Devices) cannot be placed within custom blocks. The number
of components in a custom block is limited only by DSP resources available within a single hardware unit. Once the
components are placed and connected, select Merge Into Custom Block from the menu.
