Chapter 4 Signal Paths
Moving on from the very simple (default) channel signal path, a selection
of processing elements is available that can be inserted in any order. This
is achieved using the eight small window sections, each with { + } and { - }
buttons either side and an { IN } button. All available processing blocks
in the Assignable Panel Area can be accessed in any of the windows by
toggling the { + } and { - } buttons.
Functions currently supported are:
• EQ 5 BAND PARAMETRIC EQ with SHELVING HF & LF
(shelving is switchable)
• FILT HIGH & LOW PASS FILTERS
(6dB-36dB / octave in 6dB steps)
• DYN GATE, EXPANDER, COMPRESSOR & LIMITER
• INSERT EXTERNAL DEVICE INSERTION POINT
• DELAY DIGITAL DELAY (up to 1.2s with Regen.)
• MULTI INSERTION of MULTITRACK SEND, ROUTING &
MONITOR PATHS
• FADER CHANNEL FADER
The small arrow shape in the window outline points in the direction of the
signal flow. Once the required function has been selected, press the { IN }
button, which inserts that function into the signal path. It also becomes the
master in/out switch for its function and can be automated.
The order of this signal path is defined according to the processes selected
in each window. At any time, the order can be changed by de-selecting the
{ IN } button and toggling the name in the window to an alternative one.
To clear a window, place the default box number back in the display, by
pressing the { + } and { - } buttons simultaneously. Selection changes can
only be made if { IN } buttons are not selected. If the same function is
selected in two different windows at the same time, one of them will have
an asterisk either side of the function name to inform the user that the
process has already been selected in another window. Each function block
can be used once per channel only. The following diagram shows an
example of a signal flow through a channel configured for mix-down.
