How to patch
Patching, basically, involves selecting the source patching connectors in the From
section of the Patching screen and then selecting their destination(s) in the To section.
You can select patches singly, or in multiples by using the sequence and automatic
operations.
Each patch connector has three possible states, as indicated by its fill colour. The
following table shows what each state signifies (the examples show XLR connectors,
although it applies to any type of patch connector).
Working with patch connectors
You can select patch connectors one at a time by clicking on them, or you can select
them in blocks by using a drag operation. All of the patch connectors in both the From
or To sections are on tabs so, before you can select a patch connector, its tab must be
open.
>> To open a tab in the From or To sections
Click the tab title. For example, click Ins. Sends to open the insert sends tab.
