The Rules of Axe-Fx II Cables
No cables = No sound. Even one missing link will break the entire chain.
Signal always flows from LEFT to RIGHT.
A cable MUST originate from a BLOCK or a SHUNT. Empty locations are not viable origins.
If you try to connect to an EMPTY location, a SHUNT will be created there.
You can ONLY connect to blocks in the next column to the right.
The
represents the origin of a connector cable.
The shows valid possible destinations.
The symbol shows destinations that are illegal/unavailable.
Any columns farther left or right would also be illegal/unavailable.
If the
were in a different ROW, every would still be in the same place.
Cables are created AUTOMATICALLY between the INPUT and any blocks in the first column.
Cables are created AUTOMATICALLY between the OUTPUT and any blocks in the last column.
You may freely SPLIT or MERGE the signal up to four ways at any point. This is sonically transparent
and there is zero risk of inherent phase or other problems in the split/merge itself. CROSSING is also
possible.
Figure 4-5 – Cables can CROSS one another without issue. Routings can be as COMPLEX as required.
To Create a Connector Cable…
Use the
buttons to select the block where you wish the cable to BEGIN.
You can’t start from an EMPTY grid space!
The first and last grid columns are automatically connected to the INPUT and the OUTPUT.
Press
. The selected block and its neighbor to the right will alternately flash as “selected.”
Use the UP or DOWN
buttons to select the desired destination block.
Remember that you will be prevented from trying to select blocks in other columns.
It is possible to select an empty location, but a shunt will be added automatically at the
destination if you complete the cable.
Be sure to select a destination that is not already connected to the origin block, or you will
REMOVE that cable (see below).
Press
. To cancel without connecting, press
instead.
To Remove a Cable Connector…
Cables are removed in much the same way as they are created.
Select the block where the cable begins.
Press
. The selected block and its neighbor to the right will alternately flash as “selected.”
