Slots 1–16
Built into the penthouse of XL-Desk is a 500-series rack. This rack is a 16 + 2 slot design. The image shows the
rack filled with SSL modules – but of course, this could be a selection of 500-series modules from other
manufacturers. The first 16 slots are lined up with the 16 mono channels, and pressing the button labelled
500
will activate the insert return, bringing the 500-series processing into that channel...
Slots 9–16
...However, the 4 stereo mix busses (A B C D) are able to steal rack slots 9-16 to use as extra processing:
Mix A can steal 500 slots 9–10
Mix B can steal 500 slots 11–12
Mix C can steal 500 slots 13–14
Mix D can steal 500 slots 15–16
The slots are stolen by pressing the 500 button in the master controls section for each mix bus. See the following section
for more information.
