About Signal Routing
The four audio inputs are analog signals which are fed to four analog-to-digital converters. The
four units are digital audio signal processors which have digital inputs and outputs. Routing
between the units is digital. The output of a unit is converted back to analog audio for the output
jack.

Signal Routing Between Units
Depending of the current Config, the four units can be connected to each other in one of five
different ways, which are depicted with five different symbols. The routing symbols (shown
between each algorithm in Select mode) are:

~
Indicates a serial connection from the unit on the left into the unit on the right. The top
example shows a serial connection from Unit A into Unit B.
+
Indicates a parallel connection between the unit on the left and the unit on the right. The
top example shows this between Unit B and Unit C.
⁄
Indicates a feedback 1 connection from the unit on the right back into the unit on the left.
The top example shows a feedback 1 connection from Unit D back into Unit C.
Indicates a feedback 2 connection from the unit on the right back into the unit on the left.
*
Indicates that the two units are “ganged together” using an algorithm that requires more
than one unit of processing power (for instance the PitchShift 2U algorithm). The
routing between units cannot be modified as long as such a “ganged” 2 Unit algorithm is
active. The bottom example shows this between Units A and B.
(blank space) Indicates that there is no connection between units, and that they are routed separately
(the blank space will not appear in a 1 Source Config, because all four units are always
connected together). The bottom example shows that there is no connection between
Unit B and Unit C; signifying that this is a 2 source configuration.
