PAN: Each mixer input may be individually panned anywhere in the stereo
output mix. A pan control is positioned directly under each input channel peak
meter and has the appearance of a small vertical pointer. To make a coarse
adjustment, click on the pan control with your mouse and drag it to the desired
position. For finer adjustment (in 1% increments), you may click on the pan
control to make it active, and then use the left/right or up/down cursor keys on
your computer keyboard. Either way, while the pan setting is being adjusted, its
value will appear numerically in the Master Volume’s status box (below the
Master Volume Stereo Gang control) as a percentage from left pan to right pan:
-100% represents far left, +100% represents far right, and 0% represents the
center.

SOLO: Each mixer input channel has a "Solo" checkbox associated with it.
Clicking on and activating a Solo box will solo the selected channel by
essentially muting all other signals. When more than one channel has Solo
selected, all solo channels will be summed to the solo ‘buss’ (path), which is
what one might consider an ‘in place’ solo as opposed to a PFL, or pre-fader
listen (levels and pans still apply). Deactivating all solo boxes will return all
input channels to their previous mute/unmute states.

MUTE: Every mixer input channel has a "Mute" checkbox associated with it.
Clicking on and activating the Mute box will remove that signal from the stereo
buss. Deactivating the Mute box will add the signal back into the stereo buss.

STEREO GANG: All input channel pairs have a "Stereo Gang" capability.
Clicking on and activating the Stereo Gang checkbox will link (or "gang") the
left/right faders so that both channels may be adjusted together as a stereo pair.

Patchbay/Router Page

The Patchbay/Router page allows you to connect each of the Delta 410’s
hardware outputs (4 pairs of analog outputs and 1 pair of digital output channels)
to specific audio sources within the Delta 410 board. To display this page, click
the "Patchbay/Router" tab of the Delta Control Panel.

The leftmost vertical column of Patchbay/Router page, "H/W Out 1/2," connects
this analog stereo pair to one of five stereo sources:

1. The default setting, "SM/ASIO 1/2", connects ports OUT1 and OUT2

to your music software or Sound Manager applet (provided that Out
1/2 is your selection for Sound Manager output. See next section,
Hardware Settings Page”). In other words, when music software plays
audio to the device named "Sound Manager” or “Analog 1/2
Delta-410," it will be routed directly to the "hardware" analog outputs
1 & 2 of your 410 breakout cable.
