S6000 REAR PANEL
INPUT L/R These are the duplicates of the L/MONO IN and RIGHT IN inputs of the
front panel - S6000 only. The inputs on the front panel override these
inputs.
MAIN OUTPUT L/R These are the duplicates of the main stereo L/R outputs (Outputs 1/2) -
S6000 only. They both output the same signal.
OUTPUTS 1-16 These are the S6000’s outputs. They can be used as 8 x stereo pairs or
as 16 individual outputs or any combination of the two (e.g. you could
have stereo sounds appearing at outputs 1/2 and 3/4 with, say, bass
appearing at output 5 and kick drum, snare drum and hi-hat appearing
at outputs 6, 7 and 8 respectively).
Output 1/2 is regarded as the ‘main’ stereo output for the S6000.
All outputs are polyphonic.
NOTE: Outputs 13-16 are also used as the samplers internal effects sends. Therefore, any
sounds routed to the effects channels FX1, FX 2, RV3 and/or RV4 will appear at outputs 13,
14, 15 and/or 16 respectively. If you wish to utilise all 16 outputs, you should not use the
internal effects. Similarly, if you are using the internal effects, you should avoid using outputs
13-16 as individual outputs. This is a hardware restriction that cannot be overcome in software.
DIGITAL I/O This offers two balanced jacks for AES/EBU digital audio in and out (this
can be switched to SPDIF in the UTILITIES mode if you prefer). An
optical I/O is also provided.
Either digital input can be used to record digitally and both outputs carry
a stereo mix of the main L/R outputs (outputs 1/2). Sounds assigned to
outputs 3-8 (or 3-16 if the optional output expander is installed for S5000)
do not appear at the digital outputs.
