Checking the Connect automatically as many inputs and outputs as possible check-box will createthe same number and types of Tracks as there are Input Strips and connect as many as possibleto the available physical inputs in ascending order and output Buses to the physical I/O attached tothe Mykerinos board(s) and Track outputs to Mixer Input Strips, although you can easily reconfigurethis later. If the box is not ticked, the tracks will be created in the same way with Track outputs connectedto Mixer strips but no physical Inputs or Outputs will be connected.Clicking Cancel opens the new Project with a Blank Mixer Window (See below)I/O Buses ExplainedInput Strip TypesThe total number of available output buses, regardless of the number of Mykerinos cards, is 64 in HDTDM Modeand 128 in XDTDM Mode. The maximum number of logical inputs and outputs to Pyramix is also 64 and 128respectively. However, it is perfectly possible, and permissible, to have more than 128 physical inputs and outputsconnected to a Pyramix system. Routing to assign physical inputs and outputs to Pyramix logical inputs and outputsis made in the Settings > Hardware > HDTDM Routing or XDTDM pages. For example: a system containingthree Mykerinos boards, with MADI daughterboards has a total of 192. In HDTDM mode any 128 of these may berouted to Pyramix logical inputs and any 128 Pyramix logical outputs (less the number of assigned InternalReturn Buses; see below), can be routed to physical outputs.Note: In a MassCore system these limits are massively increased. In fact the only limitationis the available power. For now the maximum number of buses is artificially limitedin code to 512 (at 1FS, 256@2FS, 128@4FS, 64@8FS).To make is easier to work with a variety of source Formats Pyramix offers a number of different types of InputStrip. These can control from one to 8 channels from a single set of controls. Please see: Input Strips onpage 160Internal Return BusesConfiguration Wizard auto connect dialogSome of the time slots on the HDTDM/XDTDM bus or within MassCore can be reserved to convey Aux Send orMaster Output Buses back to input strips. In effect, these are internal send/return paths. To change the number ofavailable Internal Return Buses, close all open Projects (if any) and go to:Settings > All Settings > HDTDM Routing or HSR-HTDM if using HTDM mode.Mixer : Creating and Configuring Mixers 10 - 176
