BLADE Sources Tab
The first tab is the BLADE “Sources” tab. It is used for viewing and modifying
settings for the local audio inputs in the BLADE. The Sources window has three
main parts. Along the bottom of the window is an array of 16 bargraph meters and
individual level and balance controls for each source (Mono sources do not have
balance controls). These meters and controls are used to monitor the level and set
gain on the 16 inputs (or eight stereo pairs, etc.) coming into the BLADE. In the
upper left area of the main window is a section labeled “Source Signals:” and to the
right is the “Free Resources:” section. The Source Signals: section is where the
eight character input signal name and eight character input location names can be
seen and modified from their defaults. The Free Resources: section is where the
input signal characteristics (mono, stereo, logic, etc.) can be seen.
Source Signals
In this section you can see two columns; the first column, labeled “Name” is the
source name and the second matching column, labeled “Location,” is the source
location. Depending on whether the BLADE has been designated as a stereo or
mono BLADE at initial set up, there will be eight or 16 names in the columns. (If
the BLADE was originally set up as a custom BLADE, there will actually be no
source or location names showing until you first define the mono and stereo signals
you want — more on that later). If the BLADE is an engine BLADE, there will be
names for every available control surface input and monitor channel (depending on
the size of the associated control surface this can be as many as 32 or more).
