ROUTINGS
T1–T6 IN-GRIDS
The eight Cantar recorded monophonic tracks are
separated into two groups: T1–T6 and T7T8.
• T1–T6 track routings are set by the Operator; their
levels are diplayed on the three circular screens.
• T7 T8 track routings are selected in a list of 49 fac-
tory presets Originally devoted to the mixdown re-
cording only, their signal levels are roughly displayed
on the rectangular screen bargraphs but they can be
accurately displayed on the right side circular screen
by pressing the [eye] button.
Create T1–T6 In-Grids
Rotate the [MainSelector] to five o'clock.
T1–T6 can receive any one of the inputs: mic1–5,
line1–4, and digi1–6. Fifteen In-Grids are stored in
three groups: A1–A5, B1–B5, C1–C5; their ID# is
displayed on the central screen.
note1:
To learn the process, create an In-Grid from scratch:
erase an existing one by pressing the [red] button while
[jog]-ing through the three circular screens.
Example
:
Select the in-grid ID# to be created, a blinking cur-
sor awaits your orders near the '
*
' on the left circu-
lar screen. To route mic1 to T1, [jog] five positions
and put the blinking cursor facing
mic 1,
link with the
[black] button, ... to route line1 to T5, [jog] the cursor through
T2, T3, and T4 until you land on T5 (odd tracks are on the
outer circle, even tracks on the inner circle), put the blinking
cursor facing
line 1
, link with the [black] button or clear with
the [red] button.
–M/S Declaration
If two tracks carry an M/S pair entered on say mic 3 and
mic 4, use the [black] button to activate the '
m-s
' icon at-
tached to these two tracks while passing over it.
Being '
m-s
' declared, these files are monitored as L/R ste-
reo tracks in the outputs and the mix (see
Pan-pots
, p.17).
Aaton Majax (p.57) can decode and replace
M/S pairs with L/R pairs for editing machines
which can't decode M/S stereo.
The suffix of the files carrying M/S tracks carry
a hyphen '
–
' instead of an underscore '_'.
note:
The auto-conforming tool Titan3 (p.57) must contain
the
cantar.tsc
file to handle these hyphen flagged suffixes.
