6–1: Patch Panel
Using the Patch Panel
Basic patching rules
Most of the main sections of the MS-20EX, including the
VCOs, filters, MG, EGs, and so on, are connected by default,
even without using any patch cables. The lines and arrows
on the Patch Panel show these “normal” signal paths.
Plugging a cable into an input jack disconnects the “normal”
path, and uses the signal from the cable instead. For
example, the MG is normalled to the TOTAL input jack. If
you connect the EG1 OUT jack to the TOTAL input, this
disconnects the MG.
Each input can be connected to a single output, and no more
(although a single output can be connected to multiple
inputs, as described below). If you want to route two outputs
to a single input, use one of the mixers to merge the outputs
first.
Plugging a cable into an output jack lets you use the signal
elsewhere on the patch panel, and does not interrupt the
“normal” path. You can also connect a single output to any
number of inputs, if you like; this is sometimes called a
“mult.” The signal strength remains the same, as if you were
using a distribution amplifier.
Connections from one input to another, or from one output to
another, are not allowed.
Making connections
You can make connections between patch points in two
different ways, as described below.
Touch-drag method
1. Touch one of the two jacks (either input or output),
and drag your finger across the screen to the second
jack.
A yellow line appears as you drag across the screen, and is
replaced by a patch cable once the connection is made.
Touch method
1. Touch one of the two jacks (either input or output).
A yellow square will appear around the selected jack. The
Detail Panel will also show the name of the selected jack,
and what it is connected to.
2. Touch the same jack again.
The yellow square will begin to blink, showing that you’re
about to make a connection. To cancel this and return to the
normal selected state, just touch the same jack a third time.
3. Touch the other jack.
The two jacks will now be connected.
Deleting connections
You can delete connection between patch points in two
different ways.
Touch-drag method
1. Touch the input jack, and drag off of the jack.
The selected connection will be deleted.
Touch method
1. Touch the input jack.
