-

 and 

+

 buttons next to the number for the playback channel, you can change this assignment. 

With  the 

STEREO LINK

  button  at  the  bottom  of  the  dialog,  you  can  make  sure  that  channel 

assignments are always changed in pairs (perfect for stereo signals). 

DirectWIRE Output Channels examples 

Let’s look at the following example configuration: 

 

In this example, the signal from playback channel 5 / 6 is sent to the physical outputs 1 and 2, the 
signal from playback channel 1 / 2 is sent to the physical outputs 3 and 4, the signal from playback 
channel 3 / 4 is sent to physical outputs 5 and 6 and the playback channels 7 / 8 are being sent as 
default to physical outputs 7 and 8. The settings have been made with 

STEREO LINK

 enabled. 

Here is another interesting example: 

 

On this setup, all physical output channel pairs are assigned to send out the signal from playback 
channel 1 / 2, i.e. you 'clone' the signal from one stereo playback channel to all physical outputs. 

Please note that the change of these parameters can be done on the fly, even when playback is running. 
To reset the settings to default, you can right click on this panel and then on
