•Mode II
In this mode the split node will convert node input signal into dual mono signal and send it to both chain A and B. If the split
node is between slots with mixed mono/stereo effects (e.g. one stereo effect in the slot right before the split node, two mono
effects in slots right next to the split node on both chains for processing L/R outputs of the stereo effect), this mode is
recommended.
Use BALANCE A/B to set output signal content (L/R ratio of node input signal) from L50 ~Center~R50, default is set to
Center. Fine tune the parameter depending on your needs:
•BALANCE set to L50/R50 means only left/right channel of input signal will be sent to the slots next to split node
•BALANCE set to a value in between means a mixed signal will be sent to the slots next to split node; the value sets the
mixing ratio, set to Center means mixing ratio=1:1
Use LEVEL TO A/B to set output level to A/B chains from 0~100, default is set to 100.
Mixer Node
Select a split node and the parameters will come up as shown below:
Use A/B LEVEL to set input level from A/B chains. The ranges are all 0~100, defaults are all set to 100.
Use A/B PAN to set input signal stereo panning from A/B chains. The ranges are all L50~Center~R50, defaults are all set to
Center.
When you mix A/B chain signals, output may sound very sharp/thin/weak/muddy, even left and right outputs are L/R not
balanced, this may be caused by signal phase issue. If mixed output sounds abnormal, you can set B POLARITY to reverse
chain B signal phase and see if the problem solved or not. B POLARITY is set to Normal by default. Sometimes reversing chain
B’s phase may surprise you.
Use MASTER to set output level of mixer node. The range is 0~100, default is set to 50.
Turn on MASTER SUM switch to sum mixer node output to a dual mono output. Default is set to Off.
Please note:
Setting split node to Mode II only will NOT lead to a result like “left output is a kind and right is another”, since extra
output/mixer nodes settings are needed.
Please note:
1. When using stereo effects, in some cases, turning on MASTER SUM may lead to an abnormal output or even no output,
this may be caused by L/R phase cancellation.
2. Please adjust A/B LEVEL and MASTER carefully to prevent signal clipping.
