Table of Contents

Because of the large number of mixer inputs, not all inputs are displayed

simultaneously. You may use the scroll bar at the bottom of the Delta Control

Panel to scroll the view left or right. On the PC, from far left to right the inputs

are labeled "WavOut 1/2" through "WavOut 7/8," then "WavOut S/PDIF." These

inputs accept the digital audio streams being sent from your software application

(or Windows) to the driver devices with those same names. Each name begins

with "WavOut" to remind you that these are software streams and may not

necessarily be routed to any physical outputs (see Patchbay/Router Page).

Further to the right are more channels, labeled "H/W In S/PDIF" and "H/W In

1/2." These mixer inputs are audio streams from the physical Delta 410 hardware

inputs, hence the "H/W" at the front of each label.

PAN: Each mixer input may be individually panned anywhere in the stereo output

mix. A pan control is positioned directly under each input channel peak meter and

has the appearance of a small vertical pointer. To make a coarse adjustment, click

on the pan control with your mouse and drag it to the desired position. For finer

adjustment (in 1% increments), you may click on the pan control to make it active,

and then use the left/right or up/down cursor keys on your computer keyboard.

Either way, while the pan setting is being adjusted, its value will appear

numerically in the Master Volume's status box (below the Master Volume Stereo

Gang control) as a percentage from left pan to right pan: -100% represents far left,

+100% represents far right, and 0% represents the center.

SOLO: Each mixer input channel has a "Solo" checkbox associated with it.

Clicking on and activating a Solo box will solo the selected channel by

essentially muting all other signals. When more than one channel has Solo

selected, all solo channels will be summed to the solo 'buss' (path), which is

what one might consider an 'in place' solo as opposed to a PFL, or pre-fader

listen (levels and pans still apply). Deactivating all solo boxes will return all

input channels to their previous mute/unmute states.

MUTE: Every mixer input channel has a "Mute" checkbox associated with it.

Clicking on and activating the Mute box will remove that signal from the stereo

buss. Deactivating the Mute box will add the signal back into the stereo buss.

STEREO GANG: All input channel pairs have a "Stereo Gang" capability.

Clicking on and activating the Stereo Gang checkbox will link (or "gang") the

left/right faders so that both channels may be adjusted together as a stereo pair.
