Object Routing

A green LED left of the name field indicates that a valid object bus is selected. A red LED

indicates that a least one output bus of a selected multi-object bus is unmapped. For more

information which output busses are unmapped, move the mouse pointer over the LED.

The following applies:

•

Only object busses with a matching channel configuration can be selected. For

example, if you want to pan a stereo-channel as object, you can only connect the

channel to a stereo object bus.

•

Each object bus can only be used by the panner of one channel in object mode at the

same time. The connection between panner and object bus is broken if the object bus

is selected in the panner of another channel.

IMPORTANT

To avoid unwanted results when working with object audio, please observe the following:

•

Do not use object busses as routing destinations for normal audio channels.

•

The object audio stream is automatically routed through send 8 to the object bus. For

channels that are in object mode, do not use send slot 8 for other purposes.

EXAMPLE

In the Object Mapping dialog, map 16 of 64 available output streams to object IDs.

In the VST Connections window, create 16 mono output busses and connect these

busses one by one to the 16 mapped output streams. The 16 mono output busses are

now defined as your object busses.

In the VST MultiPanner plug-in, you can now select these 16 object busses in the

Select Object Bus pop-up menu for mono channels.
