Digital signal path and input routing
Digital signal path and input routing
Default state of the system at initial power on is for inputs 1 to 24 on mic splitter 1 to
be routed to input channels 1 to 24 on the control surface. Similarly, on mic splitter 2,
inputs 1 to 24 are routed to channels 25 to 48 and so on for mic splitters 3 and 4.
There are no routing matrix functions required prior to mixing on the system. In this
way the XL8 is not unlike a conventional analogue console, so if everything is plugged
in, it should work. 'Soft patching' is easily carried via the GUI using diagrams of the mic
splitter rear panels.
To 'soft patch' an input channel to a source
Connecting the audio source to an input channel is done via the GUI, refer to "Input
channel source (GUI only)" on page 41.

1
Make sure that the input channel you require is displayed on an input bay GUI; see "To select an input
channel by typing in its number" on page 170.
2
In the input fast strip's gain trim section, press the quick access button to select the change source (src.)
button to the GUI channel strip; see "Input channel source (GUI only)" on page 41.
3
Click on the src. button to access the "Re-Patch Input Source" window. The red connector indicates the
input channel's current source.
4
Click on the new input source you require; a blue opaque circle will appear and a list of the inputs that
currently use this source will be shown in the "New Source Currently Used By:" panel.
5
Click APPLY to save the new setting. (Clicking CANCEL aborts the screen without saving settings.)
6
To 'soft-patch' a new source to another channel, go to the next highest or lowest channel number by clicking
RIGHT or LEFT, respectively, until you reach the one you want. Alternatively, on the control surface you can
press the LCD switch or quick access button of the appropriate channel. Repeat steps 4 and 5.
7
Click OK to exit, saving all the current 'soft-patch' settings.
