4 Output connector select buttons
SLOT 1 to 4, AUX SEND 1 to 8, PGM, MONI OUT
Selects the output connector to which the bus block is
routed.
Each of SLOT 1 to SLOT 4 has 8 output connectors.
5 INSERTION buttons
BUS buttons: Assigning an insert to an output bus is a
2 stage process. Firstly the output buses are assigned to
internal INSERTION circuits (assigned by selecting
each mono output bus from the block list and then
touching the selected INSERTION button), second
each insertion must be assigned to an output and an
input on the two routing pages.
IN button: When IN is displayed on the button by
touching it, the bus insert is active.
When OUT is displayed on the button, the insertion
send signal is still output. However, the insertion
return signal is not used.
Note
These inserts can be only assigned to bus signals
(PGM master, AUX SEND master and MTR master
busses).
6 PGM DITHER section
The PROGRAM busses have the dither function.
A Bit selector
B Dither type selector
A Bit selector
OFF: The dither is not activated.
24 BIT: Processed by dithering, the signal is rounded
off to 24 bits.
22 BIT: Processed by dithering, the signal is rounded
off to 22 bits.
20 BIT: Processed by dithering, the signal is rounded
off to 20 bits.
18 BIT: Processed by dithering, the signal is rounded
off to 18 bits.
16 BIT: Processed by dithering, the signal is rounded
off to 16 bits.
By selecting the most suitable dither for the effective
bit value on the recording machine, the unit allows you

to derive an extremely accurate level of signal
processing. For example, a 16 BIT setting is
recommended for making a master tape for a CD, and
a 20 BIT setting is recommended for recording on a
digital tape recorder with 20 bit recording capabilities.
B Dither type selector
TRIANGLE: Use this position (recommended) for best
performance.
RECTANGLE: The signal-to-noise ratio can
sometimes be improved with this setting.
Assigning the bus
1
Touch the bus select button.
The block list of the bus opens.
2
Touch the desired bus on the block list.
The list of the busses included in the selected block
opens.
To select the busses by the block, go to step 4.
3
Touch the desired bus on the bus list.
4
Touch the output connector button to route the bus
signal.
The bus signal selected in step 3 is routed to the
output terminal selected in step 4.
You can route an entire output block to an adjacent
set of output connectors by simply selecting the
block and then touching the first output connector
button.
Example: When you select MTR 1 to 8 as a block,
if you touch this button of SLOT 1, the bus signals
of MTR 1 to 8 are routed to SLOT 1 to SLOT 8
respectively as a single action.
