Apogee ensemble User Manual

Output Routing Tab Window
The number of output channels that appear to audio programs in the computer is determined by Ensemble’s
Core Audio driver. The Output Routing tab window determines how these software outputs are routed to
Ensemble’s physical hardware outputs.
1. Hardware
Outputs Columns
-
The hardware analog and digital outputs of all peripherals connected to Ensemble are
displayed in these columns.
2. Software Outputs
Rows
-
Available audio software outputs are listed in these rows in pairs (1-2, 3-4, etc.)
3. Mixer 1-4 Outputs
Rows
-
The four low latency mixer outputs appear at the bottom of the Software Outputs list,
and may be assigned to one or more hardware output pairs.
4. Software Outputs
Labels
-
Once a connection has been made between software and hardware outputs, the
software output label (consisting of the peripheral prefix plus the hardware output label)
appears in these fields.
5. Reset Routing
-
Restores the factory default routing.
Manipulation of the Output Routing Tab Window is essentially the same as the Input Routing Tab Window, with
the important distinction that one software output may be assigned to multiple hardware outputs but multiple
software outputs may not be assigned to one hardware output. Each marker’s range of motion is indicated by
the vertical shading on the routing grid, as depicted above by arrows on the Output routing grid.
Note that each marker represents an odd-even pair of audio signals - it’s not possible to route the odd and even
signal of a pair to different destinations.
