Input/output patching
Inserting an external device into a channel
LS9-16/32 Owner’s Manual
If necessary, you can insert an internal effect/GEQ or an external device such as an effect pro-
cessor into the signal path of INPUT channels 1–32 or any output channel (MIX, MATRIX, STE-
REO, MONO). When doing so, the type of input/output port used for the insertion and the signal
patch location of the insertion can be specified individually for each channel.
Here we will explain how an external device connected to an I/O card in a slot can be inserted
into the desired channel.
1
Connect your external device to the I/O card
installed in a slot {1/2}.
2
Press the [HOME] key to access the
SELECTED CH VIEW screen, and use the
[SEL] keys to select the channel into which
you want to insert an external device.

The INSERT popup window will appear. In this popup
window, you can view the insert input/output port,
change the insert position and switches the insert on/
off, in groups of eight channels.
