Audio signal processor chains and control blocks
Each of the six signal processing chains (
A
,
B
,
D
,
E
,
F
, and
K
) consists of one or
more control blocks of two basic types that are specific to that chain: gain, trim, post-gain,
and volume control blocks (collectively known as “gain blocks” –
, see figure 54
) and
processor blocks (
, see figure 55
). For example, the audio input 1 chain consists of a gain
fader, a filter block, two dynamic blocks, a delay block, and a trim fader. Gain controls are
always active (present) in the signal processor chain. Processor blocks, while always shown
in the program window, must be individually activated (“inserted”) as shown in figure 55.
Many gain blocks can be muted and process block controls can be bypassed. Mutes and
bypasses are shown by a red indicator in the block.
Gain blocks — The parameters set by the gain blocks are always present in the signal
chain. To access the actual fader control to view a value, make a change, or observe a live
audio meter (Input Gain chain and Output Volume chain Gain blocks only), double-click the
gain block icon (see figure 54). This action opens a dialog box, a new window that contains
the fader for that control.
A dialog box opens,
which contains the
full fader control.

in this block.
Click to select
the desired process.
The selected processor is displayed in the block.
If you want to change the variables of the
process, double-click the block again, opening a
separate window.
