Wet/Dry Mix
All eight channels in both Machines allow for independent wet/dry mixes. To adjust one or more of these mixes:
1. Press LEVELS. All eight channels are selected as default allowing you to easily adjust them all simultaneously. Use
the cursor keys to select channels individually.
2. Use the big knob or the keypad to change the settings.
From this page, you'll also find pages of settings for adjusting input and output levels as well as metering.
Bypass
To change how the BYPASS button works, press LEVELS two times, then the
bypass
soft key. Your choices here will
determine what happens when you press the BYPASS button.
Sample Rate
Pressing SETUP will take you to the first of many digital I/O and system pages. From here, you can determine your
sample rate, as well as the inputs that provide digital clock. Note that all digital inputs must match the selected
rate or the corresponding LED will flash to indicate loss of lock.
Routing Presets
The quickest way to set up your analog and digital I/O is by utilizing the routing presets.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button to access the routing presets.
2. Scroll using the big knob and use SELECT to make your choice. This will automatically set up your I/O for you.
Advanced Routing
If you can't find your particular I/O configuration using the routing presets, you'll need to set up a custom
configuration manually. For each of these steps, repeatedly pressing the soft key being referred to will step through
the multiple pages for each type of assignment.
1. Press SETUP, then press the
inputs
soft key. This input routing page assigns physical rear panel inputs to the eight
channels which feed the two DSP Machines. These channels are identified by
->IN1
through
->IN8
.
2. Next, assign these channels to the two DSP Machines. Press
dsp A
and adjust the settings to determine what is
fed into DSP A. You can select the sources assigned in step 1, or choose the outputs of each Machine as an input
to DSP A. Repeat this for
dsp B
to determine which channels will feed DSP B.
3. Now, choose the outputs that will feed the physical rear panel connectors by pressing the
outputs
soft key.
Pressing this key repeatedly allows access to all of the possible output options in the H8000FW.
You can also adjust analog and digital I/O levels for all eight channels via the LEVELS pages. Simply press LEVELS,
then repeatedly press the
inputs
or
outputs
soft keys to find what you're looking for.
For the ultimate in flexibility, the H8000FW offers storage locations for saving your customized routing configurations
either internally or on a Compcat Flash or PCMCIA card. Press and hold the PROGRAM button to access the routing
presets. Press this button once more and a
Save
soft key takes you to the save routing page. From here, you can
name and save your custom routing configuration.
