Input and output patching

Reference Manual

Inserting an external device into a channel

You can insert an effect processor or other external device into the signal path of an INPUT,

MIX, MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel. When doing so, the type of input/output port

used for the insertion and the location of the insertion in/out can be specified individually for

each channel.

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 237).

• There is a limit to the sum of INSERT 1 and INSERT 2 for each channel group, as shown in the

table below. You can select any output or input ports.

* When using Surround mode

• If you exceed the INSERT OUT or INSERT IN limitation, the indicator will light up on the left.

• If the limit is exceeded, invalid ports will be marked with a strike-out line.

• If the limit is exceeded, the following ports will take priority per channel group (listed in the table

above).

1 INSERT 1 will take priority over INSERT 2.

2 Lower-number channel will take priority.

STEP

1. Connect your external equipment to an OMNI IN/OUT jack or to an I/O card

installed in slots 1 - 3.

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

you want to assign the input source.

3. Press the INSERT/DIRECT OUT field.

4. Press the INSERT OUT or INSERT IN button.

5. Select an output port or an input port.

6. Press the INSERT ON button.
