Assuming you are looking at BLADE 1 and you’ve
chosen the stereo signal template, the Source Sig-
nals section will look as shown here:
The first signal in the list (representing input #1)
is named “BL01S01” and its location is named
“Blade01.” These are the system default names and
they can be simply decoded. The “BL01” part of the
name is just shorthand for “Blade 1,” and the “S01”
is shorthand for “Source 1.” Thus the auto gener-
ated system name means “the first input in Blade 1.”
Likewise, “BL01S02” means “the second input in
Blade 1,” and “BL23S07” means “the seventh input
in Blade 23.” It’s not exactly Rocket Science and, in
fact, you can just leave things as they are and go with
the system default names if you like. But you can do
better. If you double click on a signal name, the
name becomes highlighted and you can retype it to
be anything you like. “BL01S01” becomes
“Guest 1,” or “Zephyr,” or “Rick,” or “Enco 1” -
you get the idea. As soon as you type a new name for
the signal, it appears everywhere in the system
under this new name. In other BLADEs, on the
crosspoint grid, on control surface displays, every-
where.
Likewise, the “Location” column has default
location names which are even more easily de-
coded; “Blade01” obviously means “Blade 1.” You
can leave these as they are because that pretty much
tells you the location of the signal, but if you want,
you can change the location to “ WXYZ Air” or
“rackroom” or whatever suits your fancy. Edit the
Location just as you did the Name, by double
clicking on it.
Free Resources
Resources to a BLADE mean audio and logic
signals. This section of the “Sources” window shows
the remaining available resources within the BLADE.
The first three line entries in this section indicate the
number of surround 5.1, stereo, and mono signals
sources, respectively, that have not yet been allo-
cated to the system, and are hence available for
allocation. Remember, each BLADE has a maxi-
mum total of 16 mono audio channels plus 12 logic
ports available. If you have used a standard mono or
stereo signal template when you first initiated the
BLADE, then all of the signals will have been
allocated automatically by the Startup Wizard to
