Console SourcesFigure 3-1
Each button along the left of the Patch view (Figure 3-1) represents a MADI connec-
tion to an I/O device. These MADI “Ports” are initially labeled as Frame x-x. We will
start by renaming these inputs and outputs and the individual sources and destinations
to meaningful labels. This is like labelling a patchbay with the equipment available for
patching. Once this is done these settings can be saved as the Default Title and used for
newly created Titles. Commonly used patches can be added to the Default Title setup in
the same way a traditional patchbay can be normalled.
