Essentially, the Channel Patch provides a block diagram of the selected
channel's audio path. All channel types can be selected. From the Channel
Patch, you can:
• View General Patch connections to and from the selected channel;
• Directly access the channel's patch points in the General Patch;
• View channel's DSP processing blocks;
• Set the order of DSP processing blocks in the selected channel's audio
path;
• Toggle three-way input selector of the selected channel;
• Toggle selected channel's two-way Dynamics key selector;
• View and edit selected channel's Desk Labels;
• Switch off selected channel's Label Inheritance function;
• Set the Metering source point in the selected channel's audio path;
• Set the Direct Output source point in the selected channel's audio path;
• Setup the Sidechain Links;
• Activate the Sidechain Link for the selected channel.
The Channel Patch page displays the following channel-oriented patch
items of the selected channel for viewing:
In1 The first audio input;
In2 The second audio input;
Gen (In3) The third audio input;
Snd The Insert Send;
Ret The Insert Return;
Ext The key signal to Dynamics Block;
Dir The Direct Out.
These labels will be displayed according to the current Label Mode. To
edit the patch connection, just double-click the left trackball button while
the cursor is positioned on a connection. This will toggle over to the Gen-
eral Patch page, allowing actions to be performed. The connection you
pointed at will be pre-selected automatically.
Examples for channel Im1 (Input Mono 1):
ð toggles to General Patch
ð pre-selects Target Im 1 Input m 1 In1
ð now only select a Source and patch it.
ð toggles to General Patch
ð pre-selects Source Im 1 Input m 1 DirOut
ð now only select a Target and patch it.
Obviously, if the connection you selected is a Source (Snd, Dir), you will
only have to select a Target in the General Patch. If the connection is a
Target (In1, In2, Gen, Ret, Ext), you will only have to select a Source.
All patch cross-points are stored with Snapshots and Presets.
