3.2 Initial Router and Patchbay Setup
Max Air has an internal router that acts as a digital patchbay, allowing connection to
Sources, Console I/O and Destinations.
Figure 3-1 Console Sources
Each button along the left of the Patch view (Figure 3-1) represents a MADI connection
to an I/O device. These MADI “Ports” are initially labeled as Hubx-x. We will start by
renaming these inputs and outputs and the individual sources and destinations to mean-
ingful labels. This is like labelling a patchbay with the equipment available for patch-
ing. 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.
3.2.1 Name Ports
1. Select Patch from the Main Menu buttons on the right of the Touchscreen.
2. Select the Sources tab in the Patch view.
We will rename ports to match the connections of the system shown in Figure 1-1. The
first MADI input (Hub1-1) is connected to 24 Mic Preamps.
3. Select Hub1-1 on the left of the screen.
4. Touch Rename Port. Type USED (Mics 1-24) using the keyboard popup.
