I/O Patch - Surface

Patch the Input and Output sockets of the GLD surface and an AudioRack connected via the surface Expander port using this screen.

GLD rear panel sockets – XLR and RCA phono analogue I/O, and SPDIF and AES digital outputs.

GLD top panel USB – Patching for stereo audio playback and recording.

AR84 AudioRack connected to the GLD surface EXPANDER Port – 8 Mic/Line inputs and 4 Line outputs. If the AudioRack is not plugged in, its sockets will grey out but can still be patched using the screen.

The socket number and its assigned source or destination name and colour is displayed for each socket.

SOURCES pull-up window

An input socket can be assigned to multiple destinations, for example to one or more channels and the I/O Port. Use the pull-up to see a list of all destinations for a highlighted input socket.

You can patch a single input socket to more than one channel or destination, but you can patch only one socket to a single channel or destination.

Input sources can also be patched using the Preamp page for each channel. This method may be preferred.

Patching Outputs - Touch an output socket to highlight it. Use the lower part of the screen to select the GLD signal to assign to that socket. Open the menu to scroll through and select from the available sources. Choose the source number using the Start box and screen rotary.

Assign output sockets from:
• Unassigned
• Input Direct Out
• Group output
• Aux output
• Main output
• Matrix output
• Rack FX output
• USB playback
• Input socket (Preamp output)

• PAFL monitor output
• Wedge/IEM monitor output

To assign a range of output sockets touch the End box and turn the screen rotary. The sockets about to be assigned are highlighted on the screen.

Touch Apply to accept the assignment or Cancel to discard the change.

Touch the Polarity button to reverse the polarity of a highlighted output socket. This affects the socket only, not the source assigned to it.
