Routing Channels in the Patchbay

To route channels in the Patchbay:
Go to a patchbay page by clicking the appropriate I/O tab,
1
Channel Type tab, and Hardware tab.
Place the cursor over the Patching Grid. The cursor changes

to a crosshair, and lines extend above and to the left of the
current cursor location to identify the column and row in
which it is located.
Click in the row for the channel and in the column for the

hardware I/O source. For example, to route Stage Rack analog
input 4 to D-Show Input Channel 4, click in row 4, column 4
as shown below.

Patchbay Click and Drag
You can quickly select a range of crosspoints in the Patchbay
grid in one operation with a left-click and drag of the cursor.
You can click and drag horizontally, vertically, and at 45 de-
gree angles in any direction.
You cannot undo changes to the Patchbay grid.
To use click and drag in the Patchbay grid:
Left-click on the crosspoint defining the start of the range.

Continue to hold the left-click button, then drag horizon-
2
tally (to populate a row), vertically (to populate a column), or
horizontally and vertically (a 45 degree angle).
Release the left-click button when the destination cross-
3
point is reached. All crosspoints along the path are filled in.
The destination crosspoint sets the targeted channel. If the
new assignments steal any previous assignments, a warning
dialog will ask you to confirm or cancel the reassignment.
To suppress the reassignment warning dialog, hold Default
(on the control surface) or Alt (on the computer keyboard)
while clicking in the patch grid. For more information, see
"Warning when Stealing Inputs or Outputs in the Patch-
bay" on page 106.
