The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router s connections by means of the matrix panel the button panel or with pre recorded routes called macros Matrix Panel This is probably the simplest way to route the connections Simply click on the cross point itself The input on the left will then be routed to the output above Note Inputs can be routed to several different outputs but each output can only have a single input at any one time So you can have several connections horizontally but not vertically The Button Panel These are the numbered buttons across the top and left sides Click an output button on the top and then click an input button on the left Output Options To select multiple outputs next to each other click on one output then hold the shift key down and click the last output When the input is clicked it is routed to all selected outputs To select multiple outputs individually hold the control key down and click on any number of outputs When the input is clicked it is routed to all selected outputs Input Options To route an input to all the outputs at once hold the control key down and click on an input To leave the outputs selected after the route is made hold the shift key down and click on an input Macros This section of the window is used to save and playback macros Macros are used to store a set sequence of routes To record a macro 1 Click on the Record button last button2.
