Chain Switch
The Chain Switch overrides the Source Select switch and sends the audio signal from one 500
series slot into the next 500 series slot. This can be used to create chains of modules for
advanced tonal shaping and channel strip creation during tracking and mixing.
Slots can be chained from left to right and can be created independently from one another for
a total of 4 chains of 2, 2 chains of 4, 1 chain of 8, or any configuration in between.
Note:
When chaining channels, all existing Module Direct Outputs and ADAT outputs
work as normal for all contributions in the chain. For example, if you have a mic
preamp in slot 1, an EQ in slot 2, and a compressor in slot 3, you can record the
ADAT output of slot 3 to record the summed result of all 3 modules, record the
ADAT output of slot 2 to record just the preamp and EQ, or record the ADAT output
of slot 1 to print the dry effect. You can also record all 3 parts of the chain
simultaneously for more flexibility later on in the mix stage.
500 Series Signal Flow
Each 500 series slot is connected to multiple sources and destinations that facilitate all of the
complex internal recording and mixing aspects of 500ADAT. To better understand where each
slot is positioned in the signal path in relation to its converters, the below diagram displays a
rough overview of the signal flow of one 500 series slot to its possible destinations.
Note:
The output of each module is sent to 3 destinations at all times irrespective of the
Module Source or Chain switches.
