INPUTS AND OUTPUTS > PATCHING
Patching for the various inputs and outputs on the console can be accessed as follows:
Input Patch
Source for an Input Channel. Input Channel selected > INPUTS & VCA menu.
Direct Output Patch
Direct output from an Input Channel. Input Channel selected > INPUTS & VCA menu
Bus Master Output
Two available outputs from each Mix, Matrix, Left/Right, or Mono Master Channel. Bus Master selected >
OUTPUTS menu. In LCR Panning Mode, Mono Master Channel is the Centre Channel.
Oscillator Patch
Physical output for Oscillator signal. OSC menu.
Monitor Patch
Physical stereo output for Monitor line output. MONITOR menu.
Insert Patch
Inserts are set up in the INSERT menu. Use the INSERT ASSIGN menu to assign insert points to channels,
and use the INSERT SETUP button on the same screen to assign insert sends and returns to physical out-
puts. Currently, digital inputs are available for insert return, not the console analogue inputs.
NOTE: Patch changes are stored per cue. Having made any patch changes the cue must be stored or
updated to make the change permanent.
D.O.G.S. - Direct Output Gain Stabiliser System
D.O.G.S. is a tool to help maintain stored gain structure between channel input and direct output
when multiple devices are sharing a single source. In other words, it prevents Direct Output levels
from changing when a Mic Gain is changed - so any feeds taken from the console remain stable.
When enabled, D.O.G.S. adjusts the direct output level from each channel inversely to any manual
change of a mic gain control (across a change of +16/-10dB) on that channel.
You can enable or disable D.O.G.S in the Preferences Menu via PREFS. See section 11.1.
