section panel to select multiple Track Buses this channel strip will route to e.g. Track Bus 1, 2, 3 and 4. When the switch next to the
Track Bus is pressed the corresponding Track Buses blue LED will brightly illuminate to indicate that the channel strip is routed
to Track Buses 1 to 4. When the flashing channel strip ROUTE switch is pressed again, the LEDs in the BUS TRIM MASTERS
AND ROUTING section stays dimly illuminated to show the Channel is routed to Track Buses and the Channel ROUTED TO BUS
LED will also stay dimly illuminated to indicate that a Channel is routed to Track Buses 1 to 4.

Range Routing - more channels to more buses with less switch presses!

In the previous example, instead of pressing multiple Track Bus switches for buses 1 to 4 it is possible just to simultaneously press
Track Bus switches 1 and 4 to route to a range of Track Buses simultaneously.
Similarly to route a range of Channels to multple Track Buses it is possible to use a Range Selection of Channel ROUTE switches
to route from multiple Channels to a Track Bus or Track Buses.
A good example of this might be routing a range of Channels to a pair of Track Buses, for example to make a Drum stem, or
submix from eight channels of drum mic's on Channels 1 to 8 mixed to Track Buses 1 and 2. To do this, use a range of Channel
ROUTE switches on channels 1 to 8 by simultaneously pressing the ROUTE switches on Channel 1 and Channel 8. This should
now put Channels 1 to 8 into Select Mode and the Channel Blue ROUTE LEDs
flashing. Now by pressing Track Bus switches 1 and 2 simultaneously, all eight
Channels will be routed to Track Buses 1 and 2. To return to Idle Mode (dimmed
LEDs) from Select Mode(flashing and bright LEDs) you can now press the Range
Selection of Channels 1 to 8 again, or more simply press the Master Section SHIFT
switch to escape from Range Selection mode.

'To Bus' Routing - The other (more logical!) approach to routing

Having central, per Track Bus, routing select switches allows ORIGIN to provide a second way to route to Track Buses. This starts
from the bus, not from the Channel and in some ways is more logical once the principles are understood. Fundamentally with
this way of routing, it starts with putting the Track Bus into Select Mode, so routing starting with the Track Bus, not the Channel.

Simple Track Bus from Channel Routing

Starting with the simplest case of routing to a Track Bus from a single Channel...
Press the switch next to the chosen Track Bus, in the BUS TRIM MASTERS AND ROUTING section this will put the Track Bus
into Select Mode and flash the Track Bus LED next to the BUS TRIM knob, you now use the ROUTE switch in the BUSES
section of the Channel to select which Channel routes to this Track Bus. When the ROUTE switch in the Channel is pressed the
corresponding ROUTED TO BUS blue LED will brightly illuminate to indicate that the Channel is routed a Track Bus. When the
flashing Track Bus switch is pressed again, the LED in the BUS TRIM MASTERS AND ROUTING section stays dimly illuminated
to show the Channel is routed to a Track Bus and the Channel ROUTED TO BUS LED will also stay dimly illuminated to indicate
that a Channel is routed to a Track Bus.

Routing from Multiple Channels

As with the simple case above, the same process can be used to route multiple Channels to a Track Bus...
Press the switch next to the chosen Track Bus, in the BUS TRIM MASTERS AND ROUTING section this will put the Track Bus into
Select Mode and flash the Track Bus LED next to the BUS TRIM knob, you now use the ROUTE switches in the BUSES section
of a selection of Channels to select which Channels to route to this Track Bus. e.g. Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. When the ROUTE
switched in each Channel is pressed the corresponding ROUTED TO BUS blue LEDs will brightly illuminate to indicate that the
Channels are routed the Track Bus. When the flashing Track Bus switch is pressed again, the LED in the BUS TRIM MASTERS
AND ROUTING section stays dimly illuminated to show Channels 1 to 4 are routed to the Track Bus and the Channel ROUTED
TO BUS LEDs will also stay dimly illuminated to indicate that those Channels are routed to a Track Bus.
