Half-Normalled Mode; Thru Mode - Samson S-patch plus Owner's Manual

Half-normalled Mode

The channel is set to Half-normalled mode when the mini-toggle switch is to the
right position under the "HN" legend. This configuration is commonly used for
mixing console Insert Points. In Half-normalled mode, the signal from the top
rear jack is sent to the lower rear jack. When you insert a jack into the top front
jack you DO NOT "break the normal", so the signal is sent out of the top jack
and is still connected to the bottom rear jack. This allows you to split the signal
without interrupting the direct connection to the bottom rear jack.
The figure below shows the signal flow based on the connections of the front
jacks.

Thru Mode

To set the S patch channel to operate in Thru mode, place the mini-toggle
switch to the "T" position. When the channel is set to Thru the signal from the
bottom rear jack is connected straight through to the bottom front jack, and the
signal from the top rear jack is connected straight through to the top front jack.
This configuration is used for connecting the outputs of MIDI sound modules or
secondary 2-tracks like CD and cassette machines.
The figure below shows the signal flow based on the connections of the front
jacks.
