Using the Block Diagram
As an example, we will assume that a microphone is being used, and explain how the
block diagram can be used to route the input and output signals. Before you begin, start
up the UA-100 and arrange the windows so that you can easily see both the Mixer
window and the block diagram.
In the UA-100 Controller Mixer window, pressing the magnifying glass button
will open the Block Diagram.

In the Mixer window, click the easy setting button for Use Mic 1.
2
In the block diagram, left-click the gray box marked Rec Selector. Click it again, and
the thin black line inside the box will move. This line indicates the channel that will
actually be recorded.
A) The first four channels (i.e., MIC 1, MIC 2, Wave 1 and Wave 2) are connected
directly from the input to the Rec Selector. If the thin black line in the Rec Selector box
is connected to one of these, the sound unprocessed by the effect (dry sound) will be
recorded.
B) Below these channels are four other channels. These channels are not connected
directly to the Rec Selector, but pass through the Insertion Effect and are then
connected to the Rec Selector. If the thin black line in the Rec Selector is set to one of
these channels, the sound of the Insertion Effect applied to the input will be recorded.
C) If the final channel, MAIN, is selected, the sound of all inputs mixed will be recorded
with all effects applied (Insertion Effect + System Effect).
3
The other gray box marked Master Selector will function in the same way as Rec
Selector. However when this is changed, it does not affect the signal recorded on the
sequencing software, but will affect the sound that is heard from the monitor speakers
(the line output of the UA-100).
All changes made in the block diagram will be reflected in the Mixer window.
Similarly, all changes made in the Mixer window will be reflected in the block diagram.
