There are different, fixed Patch Groups for each of the Sources and Targets
Patch Group selectors :
Sources:
Each Patch Group contains a number of Sources or Targets, depending on
the currently loaded configuration. Sometimes certain sections will not be
present; for example, if no Channel Inserts have been configured, there will
be no Insert Send section within the Sources List, and no Insert Return section
within the Targets List.
The size of the X-Y General Patch automatically adapts to the number of chan-
nels, input interfaces, output interfaces, and to the presence of DSP function
blocks in the channels – as defined in the currently loaded configuration.
Some detail information on the sections:
Dir Out All Direct Outputs of all channel types.
All input audio interfaces (AES/EBU, MADI, or D21m A/D converters).
Sends from the inserts of all channel types.
Bus Out Unlike analog consoles, with the Vista any bus is a valid audio signal source;
e.g. an AUX mono bus can be used to feed an output interface, or to become
an input to an input channel.
Generator
The test generator's signal.
All outputs of the shared process DSP section, such as CR/ST monitoring,
downmixers, shared delays, etc.
Effect Out The output signals from the FX engines.
First audio input to all channel types,
• Free to use for all input channels,
• Used for default connection of the corresponding Bus for an output chan-
nel, such as a Group, Master, or Aux channel.
Second audio input to all channel types,
• Free for all input and output channels.
Third audio input to all channel types,
• Used for the Test Generator connection per default,
• Can be re-patched to any source at any time.
All output audio interfaces (AES/EBU or MADI, D/A converters).
Returns to the inserts of all channel types.
Input for the external control signal (key) to the Dynamics Sidechain of all
channel types.
All inputs to the shared process DSP section, such as CR/ST monitoring,
downmixers, shared delays, etc.
Effect In
Inputs to the FX engines.
