This section explains how to use the 788’s internal
patchbay for your own settings.

Assigning sources to mixer channels.

To assign an input source (

INPUT

through

, the

AUX INPUTS

, the recorded

TRACK

s, the

STEREO

mix or the

SUB MIX)

to a mixer channel:

Choose the

SOURCE

that you are going to feed

into the mixer and press and hold down the

SOURCE

key of that source. The indicator

flashes.

If the source is already assigned, the

SELECT

indicator(s) of the destination channel(s) also
flash as the

SOURCE

key is held down.

While pressing and holding the

SOURCE

key,

press the

SELECT

key of the mixer channel

into which you will feed the source.

The indicators of both the

SOURCE

and the

SELECT

keys flash to show that this assign-

ment has been made.

NOTE

You can assign a source to more than one channel. How-
ever, a channel cannot accept more than one source at a
time. If a source has been assigned to more than one
channel, the destination channels must be deselected indi-
vidually (push and hold the SOURCE key and then the
SELECT keys of the channels).

If you assign a stereo source (either AUX INPUT or
STEREO), and press the SELECT key of one channel of
a stereo linked pair (or the SELECT key of channels 7/8),
the stereo source is linked to both channels of the pair.

If you are assigning INPUTs to channels 7 and 8, note that
INPUTs A and C can only be assigned to channel 7, and
INPUTs B and D can only be assigned to channel 8.

If you assign a stereo source (either AUX INPUT or
STEREO) to an unlinked mono channel, the stereo link
will automatically be created.

If you assign a mono source to a stereo linked pair (or
channels 7/8), the signal is split between the two channels.

TIP

You can also perform this operation by pressing and hold-
ing the mixer channel SELECT key and pressing the
SOURCE key of the source.

Removing assignments

If you need to remove the assignment of an input to a
channel or channels:

Press and hold down the

SOURCE

key of the

input you want to unassign. The indicator will
start to flash.

The indicator of any channels to which this
input has been assigned will also start to flash.

Press the

SELECT

key of channels which are

currently assigned, as shown by the flashing
indicators. The indicators stop flashing.

NOTE

If the source has been assigned to two linked channels
(including channels 7-8), pressing the SELECT key of one
of the channels will unassign the pair of channels. If the
stereo link was automatically created when a stereo source
was assigned, the channels will not be automatically
unlinked.

TIP

You can also perform this operation by pressing and hold-
ing the mixer channel SELECT key and pressing the
SOURCE key of the source.
