GLOBAL mode
REC Bus
This sends the external audio input signal to the REC buses
(four mono channels; 1, 2, 3, 4).
Use the REC buses when you want to sample in any mode,
or to record audio tracks in SEQUENCER mode. These are
dedicated buses for recording.
Off: The external audio signal will not be sent to the REC
buses. Normally you will use the Off setting.
1, 2, 3, 4: The external audio input signal will be sent to the
specified REC bus. The Pan setting is ignored, and the
signal is sent in monaural.
1/2, 3/4: The external audio input signal will be sent in
stereo to the specified pair of REC buses. The Pan setting
sends the signal in stereo to buses 1 and 2 or buses 3 and 4.
Send1 (to MFX1)
Send2 (to MFX2)
These adjust the levels at which the audio input is sent to the
master effects.
Send1 (to MFX1): Send the signal to master effect 1.
Send2 (to MFX2): Send the signal to master effect 2.
This setting is ignored if Bus Select is other than L/R or Off.
If Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) is set to IFX1–12, the send levels
to the master effects are set by the post-IFX1–12 Send1 and
Send2 (PROGRAM, COMBINATION, SEQUENCER 8–
5a).
Set "Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.)" to any setting besides off,
and then raise the "Level" value to input the sound from
the external input into the NAUTILUS. When you do this
and connect audio cables to the AUDIO INPUT 1/2
jacks, the noise component of the audio signal may go
through the ADC and into the NAUTILUS even if there
is no audio input, and then be output from AUDIO
OUTPUT L/R and to (INDIVIDUAL) 1–4. When you are
not using external inputs, turn "Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.)"
off, or set the "Level" to "0".
Similarly, when you are not using the USB B port, turn
"Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.)" off, or set the "Level" to "0".
This also applies to the "REC Bus" and "FX Control
Bus". If you are not using these buses, turn them off.
Mute
Turns on/off mute for the external audio signal being
inputted.
Off: The external audio signal will be input as specified by
the various parameters.
On: The external audio signal will be muted (silent), and
will not be input.
Solo
Turns on/off Solo for the external audio signal being input. It
does this by temporarily muting all non-soloed channels.
In GLOBAL mode, the way in which Solo operates depends
on the setting of the Exclusive Solo menu command in the
previously selected mode.
Exclusive Solo Off: Multiple channels can be soloed. The
solo status will change each time you press Solo.
Exclusive Solo On: When you press Solo, only that channel
will be soloed.
The Solo setting is not saved when you Write.

Pan
This specifies the panning of the external audio input signal.
With a stereo audio source, you will normally set the inputs
to L000 and R127 respectively.
Level
This controls the level of the external audio signal. The
default is 127.
The meter to the left of the slider shows the audio input
volume, before the Level control, in realtime.
Avoiding distortion
The analog signal from AUDIO INPUTS 1 & 2 is converted
to a digital signal by an A/D converter. The Level parameter
sets the volume immediately after the conversion into digital
form.
Because of this, it's best to optimize the analog signal level
first, and then make fine adjustments via the Level
parameter if necessary. You can control the analog level by
adjusting the Analog Input Setup, or the output level of the
external audio source.
This also means that if the sound is distorting because the
analog signal is too loud, adjusting the Level setting won't
help. If you hear unwanted distortion, try adjusting the
analog levels as described above.
Avoiding extraneous noise
If cables are connected to AUDIO INPUTS 1 & 2, any noise
carried by the cables will enter into the NAUTILUS mixer
structure. This may include hiss, hum, and other audio noise.
To avoid noise from unused audio inputs, either:
• Set the input's Level to 0
or
• Set all of the bus assignments to Off, including Bus
Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign), REC Bus, and FX
Control Bus
If no audio cables are connected to the inputs, the signals are
forced to zero, preventing any additional noise.
0–2b: Audio Output
L/R Bus Indiv. Assign
This lets you send the L/R output to any pair of individual
outputs, in addition to all of the normal L/R outputs
(including the main L/R outputs, the HEADPHONE jack,
and USB outputs).
In studio or live performance situations, you can use this
parameter to monitor sounds in privacy, without changes at
the main board.
Off: The L/R output will be sent to the normal outputs only
(as described above).
1/2, 3/4: The L/R output will be sent to the corresponding
pair of INDIVIDUAL OUT 1–4 jacks, as well as to all of the
normal outputs.
