What are the Categories?
Each category name has two parts. The first part can be
Track
– a recording track
Live
– a Live Feed, which is a full-featured channel bringing audio directly to
a bus
Main
– the Main mix bus
MT-Bus
– a Multi-track bus, as used in traditional mixing systems
Sub-Bus
– a multi-Element bus used for extra mixing functions
Aux-Bus
– a mono or stereo bus, tied to the Auxiliary sends on the channels
Mon
– shows the elements of the Control Room and Studio monitor paths
Analog
– an analog physical input or output
Digital
– an AES-EBU physical input or output
MADI
– a MADI physical input or output
Osc
– the system oscillator and noise generator
The second part can be:
In
– the input of a signal path (not a physical input)
Out
– the output of a signal path (not a physical output)
Direct
– each signal can have a Direct Output
Send
– Insert Send from a signal path
Return
– Insert Return to a signal path
Talkback
– the Talkback system – shows Comm1 and Comm2
Inputs
– physical inputs (analog or digital)
Outputs
– physical outputs (analog or digital)
Meters
– the components of the current Meter Set (see Meters page 202)
So, for example Analog Inputs means the physical analog input ports, while Aux-Bus Send means
the Insert Sends from the Aux Busses.
Reverse Patching
Overview
There is a quick way to perform simple patching i.e. choosing sources for recording. It’s called
“reverse patching” because you select the destination first.
You can patch to multiple tracks at the same time, but the only allowed sources are the Physical
Inputs on the SX-20, and the system buses.
Get Ready
Press the green
Editor
button.
Selection
Press and release the
SEL
button. Xynergi displays 48 tracks.
Select the tracks to which you want to patch inputs.
Patching
Hold down the
Set Source
button. You can now see all the system buses, other than those with
zero format, and below them, the four analog and four digital inputs from the SX-20.
Some of the source may be lit – that means they are patched to one or more of the selected
tracks.
Press the source that you want to patch to the selected tracks. This source is now patched to all
of the selected tracks, subject to the following rules:
