Adding devices to a Combi
About the Insertion line
When the Insertion line is shown, new created devices will be added to the Combinator device.
D To be able to select the Insertion line you have make sure that the “Show Devices” button is lit on the Combi-
nator Controller panel.
D The Insertion line is shown in the empty space at the bottom of the Combinator holder (below any devices cur-
rently in the Combi).
If the Combi doesn’t contain any devices, the empty space is located just below the Controller panel.
Showing the Insertion line
Any of the following methods will select/show the Insertion line:
• By clicking in the empty space at the bottom of the Combinator holder.
• When creating a new Combi, the Insertion line is automatically selected.
• By using the arrow keys you can step through and select each device currently in the Combi. By selecting the
empty space, the Insertion line appears.
• Selecting “Initialize Patch” for a Combinator will clear all devices and the Insertion line appears.
D Note that showing the Insertion line automatically selects the Combinator device. However, selecting the Com-
binator will not automatically show the Insertion line.
The Insertion line remains selected until you select another device (either in the Combi or in the rack), or hide the
devices.
