I/O Buses Explained; Input Strip Types; Internal Return Buses - Merging Pyramix User Manual

Checking the Connect automatically as many inputs and outputs as possible check-box will cre-
ate the same number and types of Tracks as there are Input Strips and connect as many as possible
to the available physical inputs in ascending order and output Buses to the physical I/O and Track
outputs to Mixer Input Strips, although you can easily reconfigure this later. If the box is not ticked,
the Tracks will be created in the same way with Track outputs connected to Mixer strips but no phys-
ical Inputs or Outputs will be connected.
Clicking Cancel opens the new Project with a Blank Mixer Window (See below)

I/O Buses Explained

In a MassCore system the only limitation on the number of I/O buses is the available power. For now the maximum
number of buses is artificially limited in code to 512 (at 1FS, 256@2FS, 128@4FS, 64@8FS).

Input Strip Types

To make is easier to work with a variety of source Formats Pyramix offers a number of different types of Input
Strip. These can control from one to 8 channels from a single set of controls. Please see: Input Strips on
page 221

Internal Return Buses

Some of the time slots on the HDTDM/XDTDM bus or within MassCore can be reserved to convey Aux Send or
Master Output Buses back to input strips. In effect, these are internal send/return paths. To change the number of
available Internal Return Buses, close all open Projects (if any) and go to:
Settings > All Settings > HDTDM Routing or HSR-HTDM if using HTDM mode.
XDTDM Routing > PCM I/O routing or PCM-HSR I/O Routing if using XDTDM mode.
DXD Projects I/O Routing if you wish to use Internal Return Buses in a DXD Project.
The number of Internal Return Buses can be set using the Internal Buses combo box. Click on the OK button to
memorize the setting and exit.
The number of Internal Return Buses you assign here will be available as possible channel strip sources in the
mixer.
