In addition to the ‘keying’ facility described above, the Dynamics section may also be
keyed from an external signal by selecting either CH IN and MON or CH OUT and
MON. The key signal is taken from the Monitor Input pre-fader, so patching into the
Group Monitor Input or Tape Monitor Input will access the sidechain. As the Monitor
Input can pick up the module’s Group Output (ie. Module 21 can monitor Group
Output 21) signals can be routed to the module’s Group via the Routing Matrix and be
selected to the sidechain input with the GROUP button. This application, especially
useful when mixing, where a module’s Dynamics section is keyed from another
module, is covered in more detail in the applications guide.
In addition to each module’s internal signal processing, external processing devices
may be connected into the Channel signal path via the Insert Send and Return points
on the patchbay (Rows E and F). Note that the Insert IN switch is automated.
The Insert normally follows the Equaliser (and Filters if not split):
