4 – Routing & assignment : Channel-to-buss assignment<br />
sends to the appropriate destinations, in an easy<br />
graphical solution.<br />
Figure 4.5: Buss assignment screen (linked<br />
busses)<br />
Use the POD 3 encoder to select banks of eight channel<br />
modules at a time, and the display changes as<br />
these are selected. You can also select busses in<br />
groups of eight, as well as the aux sends (see below).<br />
Use the wheel or left and right cursor keys to navigate<br />
round the screen (you can also use the SEL keys<br />
or fader selection), and the ENTER key to assign and<br />
de-assign busses or the stereo (ST) or direct outputs<br />
(DIR) (not shown above, as the direct outputs are not<br />
available for channels 49 through 64). As you make<br />
and break these assignments, the indicators by the<br />
control surface keys mirror the screen settings (and<br />
the other way round).<br />

Pan switch There is an invisible “pan switch”<br />
which links and unlinks pairs of busses (this also<br />
depends on the linked pan mode).<br />
When this switch is set, and busses are linked, they<br />
are also joined for panning and they are assigned in<br />
pairs.<br />
However, when this switch is not set, the buss pairs<br />
can be split for individual assignment.<br />
• Pressing and holding the SHIFT key while<br />
pressing one of the ASSIGN keys operates a<br />
split or join function on a buss pair, allowing<br />
busses to be individually assigned when split.<br />
In Figure 4.5, Buss assignment screen (linked busses),<br />
channels 49 through 51 have the busses linked<br />
(except for 1 and 2 on channel 50). The other busses<br />
are separated.<br />
The linked pan mode (“BUSS Link/BUSS PAN<br />
Mode are Linked” on page 44) also determines<br />
whether splitting a buss pair either splits the busses<br />
for channels individually (as in the example screen<br />
above), or all together for all channels. When this<br />
parameter is set off, buss pairs may be split individually,<br />
and when it is on, buss pairs are split together.<br />
Note that buss assignment is also connected to module<br />
linking. When two channels are linked, assigning<br />
one of the linked channels to a buss also links the<br />
other channel 2 to the buss.
