Using the LexPanel
The punch feature mixes the input signals directly with the outputs selected for your monitor system
(speakers or headphones) to avoid the inherent processing delay from the card to the computer
application and back.
Unlike monitoring through a tape deck where the input is typically monitored when the transport is in
Stop or Record and muted during Play, the input signal is monitored all the time .
Configuring the Punch feature
1. Select Enable Punch to turn on monitoring.
2. Select as many input sources as you like, clicking multiple selections with the shift or Ctrl key.
Note that only those I/O selections which are currently enabled in the Routing tab will appear as
Source and Destination selections.
3. Select the outputs you are using for monitoring. (Often the analog left and right outputs will be
connected to an amp and speakers — digital connection to a mixer is, of course, also possible.)
A mono mix of the selected inputs will be sent to the outputs.
4. If you are using Cubase, select Global Disable from the System Setup dialog to turn off the
monitoring through the application so that a delay is not heard from the input signal.
The MIX Level Control
Mix Level allows you to adjust the volume of the selected Punch sources that are mixed with the VST
output assigned to the same outputs (usually "Master").
NOTE: If multiple sources are being summed, the Mix Level may need to be lowered to avoid
distortion. In such cases, try an initial setting of 40.
