INSERT

Inserts are organized within an Insert POOL that contains up to 24 insert send/return pairs.
Once set up, each insert in the pool can be easily patched to the desired Input channel or master insert
point.

Patching An Insert Point To An Input Channel

* Select the PAN touch field of the destination input channel.
* Press the {INSERT} config screen area. The insert select page will open in the touch area.
* Select the preconfigured insert pair of input & output connections [1]-[24] from the pool.
* Leave the page with <EXIT> or press {INSERT} again.
Before an insert can be patched into a channel, the physical connectors or MADI channels for the send
and return must be defined. A specific pair of connectors can be set up for each device, and the device
name entered for easy recognition. Press <SETUP> to access the Insert Point Setup page.

Patching Insert Send Or Return Signals To The Connectors Or MADI Channels

* <SEND> opens the output patch page, where it is possible to define the physical connector for
the insert send.
* <RET> opens the input patch page, where it is possible to define the physical connector for the
insert return.
* <LABEL> opens the keyboard page, where it is possible to label the insert.
* Leave the page with <EXIT> or press the INSERT {VST config button} again.
