![]() This default patch is interrupted if a connection is made on the front panel – either the incoming signal is intercepted and sent elsewhere (by plugging into the top patch point), or the outgoing signal is overridden by another signal (by plugging into the bottom patch point). Normal mode means the signal will flow from the rear top patch point to the rear bottom patch point below inside the bay – no patching required. On the rear panel (since they will remain plugged there indefinitely) Traditionally, the TOP row sends OUT and the BOTTOM row takes IN. This device has 48 input jacks on the front panel as well as 48 input jacks on the rear panel, for a total of 24 (3 sets of 8) pairs arranged in two rows. Studio – is a simple 48-point TRS patchbay. Type – and the one you will get the most use out of in your home To accommodate all sorts of connections, but they all serve the sameįunction get the signal from one place to another. ![]() And for a small home studio, a single unit is all you need. But this doesn’t mean such devices are reserved for mammoth studios boasting the most gear – you can easily acquire a single used unit for around $60. Larger mixing console desks are often built to accommodate several patchbay units in one area, allowing recording or mix engineers to reconfigure the studio at will. Usually, patchbays are found in much larger studios with much more gear than you may have in your home setup. All changes to the signal flow from then on can be made on the front panel. And they virtually eliminate wear and tear on your actual devices because you would only plug them once – into the rear of the patchbay. We so choose, reconfigure signal flows with a couple quick moves. What a patchbay allows us to do is route all the inputsĪnd outputs for all of our gear to a single area where we could, if You can think of it as Grand Central Station for your growing In any case, the situation we are faced with calls for quite a lot of plugging, unplugging, and digging around behind the workstation. Maybe we’ve outgrown the Scarlett 2i2 we started with, and we’ve upgraded to an 18i8 or a MOTU UltraLite. A little piece of outboard here and there – maybe a used guitar pedal or two – finds its way in. Best of luck to you.Peeking back at the home studio that we put together in an earlier series, we may begin to notice that it is growing. I know not everyone likes the M-audio midisport ( originally called a "Midiman) but I've had great luck with mine. By the looks of your equipment list, this is just a small investment to get what you want going. I think you have a pretty god grasp on what you want to do. ![]() ![]() If you need to change the midi channel assignment, that's just merely another mouse click on the track. The midi channels are already set by default of however you have your template set up. In my project, if I want to use a cello patch in my E-mu Virtuoso, I just select the Virtuoso as the instrument for that track and then select the patch in that track. Case in point, I have 4 midi devices installed with xmls attatched to a midisport 8x8. You'll just merely select what midi channel you want per track in your project AFTER you have selected a particular device for that track anyway. The devices are known by thier port, not thier channel once the interface is installed. Once you have a dedicated midi interface, you really dont have to worry about channel assignments except within your project itself. With respect to what pr0gr4m just said, it's easier than that. ![]()
