PATCH MODE

Pressing SHIFT+MIXER takes you to the PATCH mode where you can route external and
internal audio around the DPS24. The first page you see is the CHANNEL SOURCES:

SOURCE

The INPUT CHANNEL SOURCES fields at the top of the screen allow you to select the input
source for each of the 12 input channels. The choices are:
In this way, you can patch any analogue or digital audio source to any channel. The default
for each input is to have as its source a corresponding ADC. However, these can changed to
your own requirements. It also allows the input channels to be used for mixing audio sources
other than analogue inputs.
For example, you could patch in the internal FX outputs into two input channels so that they
can be EQ'd, compressed, gated, etc.. Similarly you could patch in a CD or DAT or other
stereo digital audio source via the Digital In L/R inputs.
If you have an Akai S5/6000 with the optional ADAT board fitted, you can patch the ADAT
inputs to the channels to have a digital feed of the sampler's individual outputs.
