The naming file is called
I-O Config.txt
and can be found in the following folder
c:\Program
Files\Fairlight\FMC\Data
It contains information other than names, and this should not be disturbed. The instructions for
naming are contained in the file itself, which can be opened and edited with any text editing
application.
System Ports
System output ports can only be accessed from the Monitor Setup Patch Outputs menu. Using
system ports for control room monitors prevents the operator from inadvertently patching signals
direct to the power amplifier inputs. To define a system port enter an attribute value of 1 as
described in the I-O Config file.
Naming Paths
Overview
The Name Path command allows you to name Tracks, Live Feeds, Buses and VCA Masters.
When you are choosing a name, it is advisable to use no more than two words of five characters
each, including numbers.
If you do, the complete name will be displayed on the Xynergi picture keys, making it easier for
you to choose signal paths.
If you use more than one space character, the first one becomes a breaking space, and the others
are put on the second line.
