Cabling
The cabling between Environment objects provides control over the entire MIDI signal
path. A cable is normally shown as a gray or colored line between a source and
destination object.
Cables are assigned the same color as the source object, which makes following the
signal path much easier. You can, however, switch off cable coloring, and render them
in gray with the View > Colored Cables function.
Objects always have an (invisible) input on the left, and an output on the right-hand
side. The output of an object is shown as a small triangle, pointing to the right.
To make a connection between two objects—method 1:
1 Click-hold the triangle of the source object.
The mouse pointer turns into a plug (patch cord) that represents a cable connection
coming from the object’s output.
2 Move the cable plug over the destination object, and release the mouse button when
the object is highlighted (this happens automatically when you touch it).
A cable connection will be created between the two objects.
If the source object has already been directly assigned to a MIDI output port, a dialog
will ask if you want to replace the direct assignment. You have three options:
 Cancel: The connection is not made, and the direct output assignment of the source
object remains intact.
 No: Your cabling takes place, but the direct output assignment remains intact. This
means that the source object is connected to two destinations—one to another
object via the cable, and one via the direct output assignment.
 Remove: Your cabling occurs, and the direct output assignment is removed (This is
the default selection, because you generally won’t want an object connected to two
different destinations).
