Input and output patching

V5 Reference Manual

PORT SELECT screen

Displayed when you press either the INSERT OUT or INSERT IN button in the one-channel

or the eight-channel INSERT/DIRECT OUT window. Set the input/output port used for

insertion.

1 Category select list

Selects the category of port. The categories correspond to the following ports. The

displayed categories vary depending on the channel type.

• OMNI...................................... OMNI1 - OMNI8

• SLOT1.................................... SLOT1(1) - SLOT1(16)

• SLOT2.................................... SLOT2(1) - SLOT2(16)

• SLOT3.................................... SLOT3(1) - SLOT3(16)

• GEQ RACK ............................ GEQ1L(A) - GEQ16R(B)

(MIX/MATRIX/STEREO/MONO channels only)

GEQ1L(A) - GEQ8R(B) (INPUT channels only)

• EFFECT RACK ...................... FX1L(A) - FX8R(B)

• PREMIUM RACK ................... PR1L(A) - PR8R(B)

2 Port select buttons

Assign the port that will be used as insert-out/insert-in for the currently-selected

channel.

NOTE

If a rack in which a GEQ, PEQ, or Premium Rack is mounted is specified as the insert-out or

insert-in, the other patch point will automatically be assigned to the same rack. Also, insert mode

will automatically be switched on. Additionally, if you defeat the insert-out or insert-in of a rack in

which a GEQ, PEQ, or Premium Rack is mounted, the other patch point will automatically be

defeated and at the same time insert mode will automatically be switched off.

3 CLOSE button

Closes the screen.

Directly outputting an INPUT channel

The signal of an INPUT channel can be output directly from an OUTPUT jack on the I/O

device, from the desired OMNI OUT jack, or from the output channel of a desired slot.

NOTE

If you install a digital I/O card in a slot and digitally connect an external device, you must

synchronize the word clock of the CL console and the external device (page 246).

STEP

1. Connect your external device to an OMNI OUT jack, OUTPUT jack, or to an I/O card

installed in slot 1-3.

2. Use the Bank Select keys in the Centralogic section to select the input channel that

you want to output directly.

3. Press the INSERT/DIRECT OUT field in the OVERVIEW screen.

4. Press the DIRECT OUT PATCH button in the INSERT/DIRECT OUT screen.

5. Select an output port.
