Patch Mode - Akai DPS24 Operator's Manual

PATCH MODE

Pressing SHIFT+MIXER takes you to the PATCH mode where you can route external and internal audio around
the DPS24. The first page you see is the CHANNEL SOURCES:
The INPUT CHANNEL SOURCE fields at the top of the screen allow you to select the input source for each of the
12 input channels. The choices are:
ADC 1-12 - default
Digital In L
Digital In R
Aux In L
Aux In R
2-Track L
2-Track R
ADAT 1 - 8
In this way, you can patch any analogue or digital audio source to any channel. The default for each input is to have
as its source a corresponding ADC. However, these can changed to your own requirements. It also allows the input
channels to be used for mixing audio sources other than analogue inputs.
For example, you could patch in the internal FX outputs into two input channels so that they can be EQ'd, com-
pressed, gated, etc. Similarly you could patch in a CD or DAT or other stereo digital audio source via the Digital In
L/R inputs.
If you have an AKAI professional S5000/6000 with the optional ADAT board fitted, you can patch the ADAT inputs
to the channels to have a digital feed of the sampler's individual outputs.
Assignments in this page (and all the other PATCH pages) are made by using the cursor keys to move to the appro-
priate box and then using the DATA +/- keys to select your options.
The DISK RECORD SOURCES allow you to select audio sources to be recorded to the disk tracks. The source
options are:
INPUTS 1-12
GROUPS 1-8 - default
