Connecting to Your Computer using USB
1. Connect the PLEX to your computer using a Micro
USB cable.
2. Once your computer detects the PLEX, select it as the
input device within your DAW to record from the PLEX
via USB. If you wish to record, playback and re-amp with
the PLEX, select it as the input and output device.
*Please reference your DAW’s user manual for
detailed instructions regarding USB input/output
assignments as well as required driver and system
latency optimization etc.
PLEX signal routing: The PLEX utilizes one stereo
input and one stereo output via the USB connector. The
Left/Right channels are configured as two independent
mono channels that send/receive audio information at
different points within the PLEX. This provides the user
multiple options during recording, monitoring and
playback when used with digital recording systems.
Select the left input/pan left within you DAW to receive
the Pre signal from PLEX (instrument signal before EQ
and effects processing).
Select the right input/pan right within you DAW to
receive the Post signal (instrument signal after EQ and
effects processing).
Select the left output/pan left within you DAW to stream
audio to the input of Plex for processing.
Select the right output/pan right within your DAW to
stream audio to the output of Plex for monitoring only.
PRE and POST signals from PLEX can be input at the
same time by choosing both the Left and Right signal
within your DAW. *Please note that there is a delay
between PRE and POST channels. We recommend
playing back through either the PRE or POST
channel only, not both simultaneously.
