Chapter 12: Patchbay 93
Multiple Input and Output Assignments in
the Patchbay
Input sources can be routed to multiple Input Channels in the
Patchbay. In addition, Output busses can be routed to multi-
ple hardware outputs.
Stage Rack inputs routed to multiple channels share a com-
mon preamp gain. Adjusting one channel's gain automati-
cally adjusts all other channels. All other channel functions
(such as EQ, dynamics, and panning) remain independent.
To route a hardware input source to multiple Input Channels or
FX Returns:
1 Go to the appropriate Input display in the Patchbay.
2 Click in the Patching Grid to route the source to the first In-
put Channel or FX Return.
3 Click additional grid squares in the same column to route
the source to additional channels. The selected hardware in-
put is routed to each of the assigned Input Channels or FX Re-
turns.
To route a D-Show Output bus to multiple hardware outputs:
1 Go the appropriate Output display in the Patchbay.
2 Click in the Patching Grid to route the Output bus to the
first hardware output.
3 Click additional grid squares in the same row to route the
same Output bus to additional hardware outputs. The selected
bus is routed to all the assigned hardware outputs. An asterisk
(*) appears at the end of the displayed destination to indicate
the multiple routing.
Direct Outputs and Routing in the Patchbay
A maximum of 32 Direct Outputs can be active at one time.
You can specify the pickoff point for Direct Outputs directly
from the Patchbay. For more information, see “Direct Out-
puts” on page 68.
Direct Output Pickoff Points
D-Show lets you specify the pickoff point from which Direct
Outputs are sourced.
To specify a Direct Out pickoff point:
1 Navigate the Patchbay to the Outputs > Directs screen.
2 For each Direct Out, click in the Pickoff column located be-
tween the channel names and the Patching Grid, then choose
a pickoff point.
