crosspoint in the Matrix, darkening the associated Crosspoint Assign tile.
Deselecting a tile removes the associated fader from the mixer and mutes
the channel in the hardware.
The WIDE mixer allows you to assign all of the hardware input channels and
all of the FireWire channels to each mix bus. By limiting the number of
channels assigned to any given bus, you can reduce the complexity of the
associated mixer interface.
L OGICAL D ESCRIPTION
Each mix bus and each input channel has a path label tile associated with it.
These tiles are arrayed along the top and left edges of the Matrix.
The tiles along the top edge of the Matrix are the input path tiles. Each tile is
color coded based upon the type of input it is:
• Green for Analog Inputs
• Orange for Digital Inputs
• Pink for ADAT Optical Inputs
• Blue for FireWire Inputs (Outputs from the DAW)
Each tile shows the Mobile I/O unit it is associated with, the physical name
for the path, and the user defined name for the path.
Above each pair of input tiles is a thin tile that is used to join two input paths
into a stereo input channel. In the factory default configuration, the Digital
Inputs are joined into a stereo pair and each pair of DAW channels is joined
into stereo pairs. If the channels are joined into a stereo pair and the pair is
assigned to a stereo mixer, the pair will be represented by a single stereo
fader in the mixer interface, and no pan knob will appear.
The white tiles along the left edge of the Matrix are the Mix bus tiles. All of
these tiles are white because they all represent mix busses. Each tile shows
the Mobile I/O unit it is associated with, the physical name for the mix bus,
and the user name for the mix bus.
To the left of each pair of Mix tiles are thin inset tiles that are used to join
two mix busses into a stereo bus. If the busses are joined, the associated
mixer will have pan knobs for each of the mono hardware channels. If the
