5. Operation
The UC1 functions are controlled with the main dial on
the right in combination with the two small push
buttons next to it. But before we look at that in more
detail, let’s first walk through the internal routing of the
device.
Routing
Figure 2 shows the routing diagram of the UC1. All 10
inputs are routed to their respective USB channels
transparently without any form of processing. Similarly
all 8 USB channels from the DAW flow unaltered to the
outputs on the UC1 - except for the 2 USB channels that
are associated with the main output. Mark that one can
still audition the USB sources for that pair, but only via
the monitor path that’s described in the next paragraph.
We recommend to assign these USB channels to the
master channels of your mixing desk.
The yellow blocks in figure 2 show the monitor path of
the UC1. All 18 I/O channels can be routed to this
monitor path. They can be auditioned in their original
stereo form, or in mono (L+R), side (L-R) or in swapped
channel order form. They then receive digital volume
control & mute (both channels or L or R mute).
