NUMBER OF CHANNELS

If your host audio software requires that you
specify the number of audio voices or channels you
will be using, be sure to choose enough channels to
cover the 28 inputs and 30 outputs provided by
your Traveler-mk3 — although the number of
channels may depend on how your Traveler-mk3 is
configured.

MIDI I/O VIA THE TRAVELER-MK3 MIDI
PORTS
Once you've followed the procedure for enabling
the Traveler-mk3's MIDI features as explained in
"Software installation" on page 33, the
Traveler-mk3 MIDI ports will appear as an input
source and output destination in your host
software's MIDI I/O menus.
PROCESSING LIVE INPUTS WITH HOST
PLUG-INS
If you patch a live input (such as a MIDI
synthesizer) through a plug-in effect in your host
software, you might hear a slight delay. There are
several ways to reduce this delay. For details, see
chapter 10, "Reducing Monitoring Latency"
(page 71).
WORKING WITH CUEMIX FX MIXING AND
EFFECTS
The Traveler-mk3 provides powerful external
mixing, EQ, compression and reverb, which you
can operate hand-in-hand with your host's mixing
environment. For example, the Traveler-mk3 can
serve as a monitor mixer routing channels to
musicians, or it can serve as an integrated
extension of your host's mixing environment. If
you program an Traveler-mk3 mixing and
processing configuration that goes hand in hand
with your host project, be sure to use the file save
features in CueMix FX to save the Traveler-mk3
settings as a file in your host project folder for
instant recall of all settings. See chapter 11,
"CueMix FX" (page 77) for complete details.

SYNCHRONIZATION

As you review the following sections to decide what
form of synchronization you might need with
other devices in your studio, be sure to consult
"Making sync connections" on page 26 for the
proper hardware connections. Use the diagrams to
be clear about how you will be synchronizing your
audio software and the Traveler-mk3 to the other
components of your system.
