6.1 dSNAKE I/O page
Use this screen to patch Input and Output sockets on the
main AudioRack connected to the GLD via its dSNAKE port.
The panel background turns grey if the AudioRack is not
connected. This means you can assign the sockets even if
the rack is not plugged in.
AR2412 Main AudioRack - 24 Mic/Line inputs and 12 XLR
Line outputs.
The socket number and its assigned source or destination
name and colour is displayed for each socket.
SOURCES pull-up window
An input socket could be assigned to multiple destinations,
for example to one or more channels and the I/O Port. Use
the pull-up to see a list of all destinations for a highlighted
input socket.
Note You can patch a single input socket to more than one
channel or destination, but you can patch only one socket
to a single channel or destination.
Input sources can also be patched using the
Preamp page
for each channel. This method may be preferred.
Patching Outputs - Touch an output socket to highlight it.
Use the lower part of the screen to select the GLD signal to

turn the screen rotary. The sockets about to be assigned
are highlighted on the screen.
