Input and Output Patching
With all its ins and outs, the 01X is an exceptionally flexi-
ble mixer, adaptable to a wide range of applications and
setups. The key to tapping into all that flexibility and
power is in the Patch parameters. These let you manage
your ins and outs internally, within the 01X, and even let
you store your often used routings to the Patch Libraries.
Here are some examples to get you started.
Routing the digital stereo input to two channel
inputs
The 01X is an all-digital mixer, with all internal processing
done digitally. If you have a digital source you want to
record or mix—such as a CD/MD player or DAT deck — it
only makes sense to keep it in the digital realm throughout
the recording/mixing session.
Naturally, you can apply EQ, Dynamics and effects to the
audio, and you can also route it to the digital output (page
91) so that it stays in pristine digital form—even after leav-
ing the 01X.
To do this, you’ll need to connect the source and route it to
the desired channel inputs.
To digitally connect the 01X to external devices, you must
specify the wordclock source for the system. For details,
see pages 23 and 92.
As you’ll see below, the hardware inputs 1 - 8 are assigned
to the same numbered channel inputs by default. Nor-
mally, you won’t need to change these. However, here
we’ll set the digital stereo input to feed input channels 3
and 4.
■ Operation
q Connect the digital source to the DIGITAL STEREO
IN jack on the rear panel.
The digital connectors on the 01X are S/PDIF; make
sure the source you are connecting is the same.
w Call up the Utility mode by pressing the [UTILITY]
button.
e Press knob 2 to call up the Patch parameters.
r Select page 1 or 2 with the DISPLAY [ / ] (Up/
Down) buttons.
Page 1 contains Input Patch settings for channel inputs
1 - 4, while page 2 contains inputs 5 - 8.
t Use the odd numbered knobs to change the input rout-
ing for the corresponding channels.
If you want to have the digital stereo signal routed to
channels 3 and 4, select page 1 and use knob 5 to select
“DIN-L” (digital in left) and knob 7 to select “DIN-R”
(digital in right).
If you intend to use this routing frequently (or even just
occasionally), you should save it to the Input Patch
Library so that you can call it up whenever you need it.
