USER GUIDE
This is Input A as shown by the designation to the right. It has been re-named in the Input Channel tab as "Mixer L". The first box
with a pale green fill is for display only and shows the total delay applied to that input. The total comprises the delay added by
virtue of a link to another channel (which will be explained in a later chapter) added to the delay in the final box which is where
the required delay for the channel is entered. To enter a delay the input (or output) needs to be selected with a single click
whereupon the box fill will change from white to a brighter lime green;-
The existing value can then be selected and over-written with the new value following which it can be scrolled up and down if
required using the 'UP' and 'DOWN' buttons. Note that only one delay can be selected at any time but multiple delays can be
changed simultaneously by using the link function as we will see.
The output channels are very similar;-
The order of the boxes is reversed. The first box is the active box in which the delay for the output is entered. Next comes the
link drop-down. Then the delay display box shows the total delay allocated to that particular output. The output channel name
is next and finally a phase button to invert the polarity of the output. The button changes colour to a pale blue when Inverse
Polarity has been selected;-

Delay Link

As the name suggests, the delay for multiple inputs or outputs can be linked together to allow simple set up without having to
enter the same figures several times. Input link and output link work in the same way but you cannot link an input to an output
or vice versa. In its simplest format, you can link several inputs or outputs together. Inputs for example can be linked to any of
the other three, in this example, the drop down for input A shows it can be linked to input B, C or D;-
Similarly, Outputs can be linked to any of their other neighbours; here is the link drop-down for output 1
