Routing Matrix

The signal routing matrix, found on the right in the Routing Matrix section of Ronin’s window, is how you

connect the audio processing modules to each other, and to the plug-in’s inputs and outputs. All of the inputs

and outputs for each audio module are represented in the signal routing matrix. The audio signal from any

module can be connected to the inputs of one or more other modules. Signals from several modules can be

mixed together and connected to one or more other modules.

You can think of signals entering the routing matrix at the top and leaving on

the right. The columns are labeled with the outputs of audio modules, and the

inputs to the plug-in itself. This may seem slightly confusing at first, but

consider that both of these are sources of audio signals within Ronin. The

signal sources are labeled across the top of the matrix as follows, in left to

right order:

IN L, IN R: the left and right inputs to the plug-in. Audio signals coming

from your VST host arrive here. You have to connect at least one of these

signals to something else in the matrix in order to process audio. (Note that

the input signal is also always mixed with Ronin’s output, in an amount controlled by the dry level slider in the

Master Controls section.)

DELAY 1, DELAY 2: the outputs of the two delay modules.

FILTER 1, FILTER 2: the outputs of the two multi-mode filters.

SAT 1, SAT 2: the outputs of the two saturation modules.

The rows in the matrix are labeled with the inputs of audio modules, and the outputs of the plug-in itself.

Again this may seem slightly confusing, but both of these are destinations for audio signals. So by turning on

switches in the matrix, you connect audio sources to audio destinations. The signal destinations are labeled

down the right side of the matrix as follows, in top to bottom order:

DELAY 1, DELAY 2: the inputs of the two delay modules.

FEEDBACK 1, FEEDBACK 2: the feedback inputs of the two delay modules. Signals routed to these

destinations are mixed with signals routed to the DELAY 1 and DELAY 2 destinations, and the mixed signals

enter the delay lines. The levels of the signals routed through the FEEDBACK inputs are controlled by the

Feedback sliders.
