M-AUDIO Delta DiO 2496 - Manual (Page 11)

channels will be summed to the solo ‘buss’ (path), which is what one might consid-
er an ‘in place’ solo as opposed to a PFL, or pre-fader listen (levels and pans still
apply). Unchecking all solo boxes will again send all signals to both output paths
(analog and S/PDIF).
MUTE: Every channel has a "Mute" checkbox associated with it. Clicking on and
checking the Mute box will remove that signal from the stereo buss. Unchecking the
box will add the signal back into the stereo buss.
STEREO GANG: All channel pairs on this page have a "Stereo Gang" capability.
Clicking on and checking the Stereo Gang checkbox will link (or "gang") the
left/right faders so that both channels may be adjusted together as a stereo pair.
Patchbay/Router Page
The Patchbay/Router page allows you to select the source signal for each of the
Delta DiO’s 2 stereo outputs -- Analog or S/PDIF. To display this page, click the
"Patchbay/Router" tab of the Delta Control Panel.
The leftmost vertical column of Patchbay/Router page, "H/W Out 1/2," connects the
analog outputs of the DiO to one of four sources:
1. The default setting, "WavOut 1/2", connects the DiO’s analog outputs to your
music software or Windows multimedia applet. In other words, when music
software plays audio to the device named "Delta-DiO WavOut 1/2" it will be
routed directly to the analog outputs of your DiO board.
2. The second selection, "Monitor Mixer", connects the DiO’s analog outputs to the
output of the DiO hardware monitor mixer. This output mix can be any combi-
nation of software "S/PDIF" and "analog" outputs plus the hardware S/PDIF In.
All of these signal paths have adjustable level, pan, solo, and mute controls as set
up in the Monitor Mixer page of the control panel software.
3. The third selection, "S/PDIF In", connects the S/PDIF input (the one currently
selected as the active S/PDIF input) to the analog outputs. The left channel of
the S/PDIF In is routed to the left analog output and the right channel of the
S/PDIF In is routed to the right analog output.
4. The final option, "S/PDIF In (L/R Rev.)", functions identically to the third selec-
tion, except that the left and right channels are swapped. Therefore in this mode,
the left channel of the S/PDIF In is routed to the right analog output and the right
channel of the S/PDIF In is routed to the left analog output.
