Splitting audio
The right half of the back panel contains two signal splitters, labeled “A (L)” and “B (R)”. The two splitters work inde-
pendently, in the following way:
D The signal fed to the input connector will be simultaneously output by all four outputs.
For splitting stereo signals you simply use both splitters with “A” for the left channel and “B” for the right channel.
Practical uses of splitting audio
There are many practical uses of splitting audio signals - here a few examples:
D Create “pseudo” stereo effects from mono signals.
For example, you could route the mono output of a Subtractor to the Spider and then send two split outputs (from
the same row) to different effects and on to different Mixer channels panned left and right.
D It provides a way to instantly switch between (or mix) different variations of the same signal.
This is a neat way of applying “spot effects” in a mix. An instrument output is split and sent to three different com-
binations of insert effect processing. The outputs from the three effects are routed to separate channels in the
Mixer, which could in turn have different send effects, eq, etc. You then have three different variations of the same
signal that can be easily switched in and out of the mix for drastic sonic changes - or combined for huge layered
sounds.
