The GC General Patch page can be accessed in three different ways:
• From the View button, by clicking on the appropriate icon
• Using the Quick Access Toolbar icons, by clicking on the appropriate icon
• Using the GENERAL PATCH function key. This is the fastest way.
The General Patch is the main tool used to establish and clear audio con-
nections within the system. The name 'Patch' is used because it mimics the
conventional patch bay used in analog consoles. It accomplishes all the tasks
of a conventional patch bay, and much more. Patch cross-points are saved
into the snapshot/preset memories.
It utilizes an X-Y axis (or side-to-side/up-down) representation to aid viewing
and editing of existing connections or cross-points (equivalent to the location
of patch cords), and all existing Sources and Targets (equivalent to the patch-
jack pairs used in most patch bays).
The General Patch can be thought of as a number of 'sub-patches' whereby
either single groups of the sources and targets can be viewed at a time, or
any predefined combination of sources and targets by using the User Patch
Groups.
