OUTPUT
Here the output routing of the tracks can be changed.
By default all tracks are routed to the main output. The main output consists of the outputs
A and B configured as a stereo pair. In the OUTPUT menu you can choose to route tracks
to the individual outputs, A to F. This is useful for placing certain tracks on separate mixer
channels, or affecting certain tracks with external effects.
Once you route a track to a single output (A,B,C,D,E or F) you bypass the STEREO MAS-
TER EFFECT system, which is only available for sound leaving the main output. You can
route more than one track to an output if you want to.
To change the track routing to the outputs, follow these steps:
1. Select ROUTING in the GLOBAL EDIT menu. Then select OUTPUT and press [ENTER/
YES].
2. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to select the track that you wish to route.
3. Select the output that you wish to route, using the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] keys.
• It is possible to route some tracks to the main outputs and others to A or B. This is
probably not very useful, as the tracks routed to A or B will appear as non-
effected tracks hard panned to either left or right. If you use A and/or B as individ-
ual outputs, you probably do not want to use the MAIN A+B stereo out at all.
TRIG IN A/B
The Machinedrum allows the two audio inputs to be used for connecting external drum
pads. The trig system is prepared for standard piezo elements as used by most pads and
