Valid Patching<br />

THE SYSTEM TOOLS<br />

A valid patch is a patch made between two differing patch point<br />

types, which can be recognised in the patcher:<br />

When a valid patch has been made, a patch cable is drawn<br />

between the two patch points indicating that they have been<br />

patched together, and both patch points will become black in<br />

colour.<br />

• Click on the red selected patch point a second time.<br />

The patch point will return to its usual colour and a new<br />

selection may be made.<br />

Only the following patches are legal. Attempts to patch illegal<br />

patch points together results in an audible beep being sounded<br />

from the system and the patch request being ignored.<br />

In addition, only some patch points may have more than one<br />

patch cable attached:<br />

Type of Patch Point Allows<br />

DSP input Only one cable attached<br />

Physical output Only one cable attached<br />

DSP output Multiple cables attached<br />

Physical input Multiple cables attached<br />

If a new DSP tool is started, the Patch Bay will automatically<br />

add a new patchset. Conversely, if a DSP tool is stopped, the<br />

patchset will disappear.<br />

Some DSP tools also change their number of inputs and outputs<br />

during the course of their execution. The Patch Bay notices any<br />

changes in DSP tool channels and adjusts itself accordingly.<br />

Sometimes patchpoints will appear as though they are<br />

connected (black) but will not have a patch cable connecting<br />

them to anything. These points are “hidden” and are in use<br />

when the Patch Bay is in an alternate state (this effect can be<br />

seen when switching between Convolver programs that have<br />

different numbers of filters). It is possible to deselect and<br />
