Chip (Channel Inputs) And Chop (Channel Direct Outputs); Miscellaneous Connections - Solid State Logic Sigma User Manual

CHIP (C
HANNeL INPUTS
All inputs and outputs for Sigma are on AES 59 'Tascam' standard D-Sub connectors. Each D-Sub carries up to four stereo
signals. The inputs and outputs are all operating at line-level. The direct channel outputs are sourced post-fader.
Typically, you would connect the outputs from your D/A converter into the CHIPs.
The CHOPs would be connected to your A/D to record back into the DAW.
A creative use for Sigma could be using it to automate an analogue desk. This could be achieved by connecting the
insert sends from the console into Sigma's CHIPs and then connecting Sigma's CHOPs into the insert returns of the
console.
