Cascaded Unit Tabs
Monitor/Expander Designation
A second
appears when multi-unit cascading. The unit tab ordering defines the
monitor/expander software designations. The tab on the left always represents the moni-
tor unit; the tab on the right represents the expander unit.
Expander Unit Removal
If the expander unit is powered down or removed from the system, the
expander unit’s tab can be deleted. To delete the unit tab, right-click on
the tab and select “Delete” from the menu.
Note: If the expander unit is powered down or removed from the
system, the expander unit’s tab must be deleted before the sample rate can be
changed to 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz.
Monitor/Expander Swap
The monitor/expander designations are associated to the hardware ID of each unit. If
the hardware wiring setup is reversed to change the monitor and expander designations,
Console must be manually switched to reflect the hardware change. This is accomplished
by re-ordering the tabs in Console.
Swapping the Unit Tab order
To swap the monitor and expander designation ordering in Console, click+hold a unit tab,
then drag it to the other tab. A gray double arrow appears when a tab is “grabbed” and
the swap is performed when the double arrow is orange and the mouse is released.
Important:
Swapping the monitor/expander order changes the driver I/O configura-
tion. Quit all audio applications before performing this action.
Console Recall Session Management
Single-to-Multi Session
If a Console session was created and saved with a single-unit setup and the session is
subsequently opened with a multi-unit setup, the expander unit is automatically added
to the session (a second unit tab is added to the session) and the number of Console
inputs expands accordingly.
Multi-to-Single Session
If a Console session was created and saved with a multi-unit setup and the session is
subsequently opened with a single-unit setup, the expander unit is retained in the ses-
sion, but the host status indicator “dot” will be red indicating the expander unit is recog-
nized. The expander unit can be removed from the session via the
