F Tip A feature is available for fast diagonal patching of multiple Sources to
multiple Targets. The example below shows this feature used in practice.
Example: Patching the first 16 Mic inputs to the first 16 Mono Input Channels.
1 First make the first connection (In this instance Mic 01 to Mono Input
Channel 1).
2 Then whilst holding the SHIFT key on the keyboard, make a connec-
tion on the last of the diagonal connections (in this instance, Mic 16 to
Mono Input 16). This will automatically establish all the connections
on the diagonal line between the first and last connection, respec-
tively.
Similarly, if whilst holding SHIFT, the last connection of a diagonal line
of connections is double-clicked, then all connections running back up the
diagonal will be cleared.
This function provides time saving possibilities when patching.
Connection Protection: It is also possible to protect a certain connection from accidental change
both by the user or by recalling a snapshot.
Double-clicking on a connection selects the padlock item to lock the con-
nection. To unlock, double-click again.
Both the background of the Target as well as the connection become red.
When attempting to change a protected connection, a warning appears, to-
gether with the instructions on how to unprotect the connection.
