4 - The PatchMix DSP Mixer Main Section Input Selecting the Input display view shows a graphic representation of the PatchMix DSP Mixer inputs. This screen is only a display unlike the Effects and Outputs screen, which allow you to make routing changes. Input routing changes are made by adding mixer strips. See Mixer Strip Creation. The input routings are divided into two categories: Physical Inputs and Host Inputs. Select either category by clicking on the Physical or Host button. Clicking on any of the input routings in the TV display highlights the corresponding mixer strip. Physical Input Display Host Input Display Output Selecting the Output display view shows a graphic representation of the PatchMix DSP Mixer outputs. The output routings are divided into two categories: Physical Outputs and Host Outputs. Select either category by clicking on the Physical or Host button. Physical Output Display Host Output Display The Host Output display shows all the Insert Routings in addition to the Main Mix and Monitor out routings. Click on the desired row to make or break a physical output connection. The Physical Output screen displays and allows you to connect the Main and Monitor outputs of the mixer to “physical” analog or digital outputs. Click on the box in the mix or monitor area to make (or break) a connection. The Host Output screen displays and allows you to view the Host (ASIO or WAVE) outputs of the mixer. See “Insert Section” for information on how to connect the inserts. f The Input and Output displays make it much easier to understand the signal routings of a complex mixer setup. 28 <strong>Creative</strong> Professional
Auxiliary Effects & Returns The section immediately below the TV Screen is where you assign the Auxiliary Effects. In a traditional mixing console, auxiliary effects sends are used to send part of the signal to outboard effect devices, then return the effected signal back into the mix using the effect returns. This is called a sidechain routing because the aux signal takes a detour through the effects before being summed back into the main mix. Sidechain effects are usually effects that you might want applied to several channels, such as reverb. Effects such as EQ and compressors are usually NOT used as sidechain effects because they can cause unpredictable results when returned to the main bus. Input You can also use the Auxiliary Sends as two extra mix buses. By turning the Aux Return amount all the way down and dropping an Insert Send into the chain, you can send the Auxiliary bus to any output you wish. See “Insert Section” for more information.‚ Sync/Sample Rate Indicators The Sync/Sample rate Indicators show the current session’s sample rate and whether it is internal or slaving to an external source. The LEDs indicate which sample rate is currently in effect. If an external source is being used, the Source display reads “EXTERNAL”. When slaving to an external master source, the clock may drift slightly or change dramatically (i.e. abrupt sample rate change or unplugging of physical master source). PatchMix DSP is tolerant to minor drifting within the supported rates of 44.1k, 48k, and 96k, but if the sample rate drifts out of this range the “LOCKED” LED will extinguish. If the external clock source makes a radical sample rate change from the lower rates of 44.1k/48k to the higher rate of 96k, the hardware automatically mutes audio (to avoid unpleasant side effects). In addition, a message box will appear telling you that the sample rate has changed dramatically and that a new session must be created or loaded to support the new sample rate. If you ignore this alert and continue with the existing sample rate when you create or load a new session the system un-mutes itself.

This is because the Aux Return Amount will control the wet/dry mix. E-MU Digital Audio System 29
