Pyramix Mixer : Creating and Configuring Mixers
Checking the
Connect automatically as many inputs and outputs as possible
check-box
will create the same number and types of
Tracks
as there are
Input Strips
and connect as
many as possible to the available physical inputs in ascending order and output Busses to the
physical I/O attached to the Mykerinos board(s) and Track outputs to Mixer Input Strips,
although you can easily reconfigure this later. If the box is not ticked, the tracks will be created
in the same way with Track outputs connected to Mixer strips but no physical Inputs or Outputs
will be connected.

I/O Busses Explained
The total number of available output busses, regardless of the number of Mykerinos cards, is 64 in HDTDM
Mode and 128 in XDTDM Mode. The maximum number of logical inputs and outputs to Pyramix is also 64
and 128 respectively. However, it is perfectly possible, and permissible, to have more than 128 physical
inputs and outputs connected to a Pyramix system. Routing to assign physical inputs and outputs to Pyra-
mix logical inputs and outputs is made in the
Settings > Hardware > HDTDM Routing
or
XDTDM
pages.
For example: a system containing three Mykerinos boards, with MADI daughterboards has a total of 192. In
HDTDM mode any 128 of these may be routed to Pyramix logical inputs and any 128 Pyramix logical out-
puts (less the number of assigned
Internal Return Busses
; see below), can be routed to physical outputs.
Input Strip Types
To make is easier to work with a variety of source
Formats
Pyramix offers a number of different types of
Input Strip. These can control from one to 8 channels from a single set of controls.
Internal Return Busses
Some of the time slots on the HDTDM/XDTDM bus can be reserved to convey
Aux
or
Master Output
Bus-
ses back to input strips. In effect, these are internal send/return paths. To change the number of available
Internal Return Busses, close all open Projects (if any) and go to:
Settings > All Settings > HDTDM Routing
or
HSR-HTDM
if using
HTDM
mode.
