Direct outs can be used to send audio out of a channel direct to a destination. This is useful when sending audio to a broadcast console or M-48 personal mixers.
Note: In order for input channel's mute buttons to not mute the assigned direct outs, this will need to be disengaged in the system settings:
- Be sure that an iPad is not connected wired or wirelessly to the M-200i.
- In the top panel’s DISPLAY section, press [SETUP].
- At the SETUP screen, select “SYSTEM“ and press [ENTER].
- Select "CH-MUTE OPTION" and press [ENTER].
- Select "Mutes DIRECT OUTS" and set this to OFF.
- Press EXIT to return to the main screen.
ASSIGNING DIRECT OUTS
- In the top panel’s DISPLAY section, press [SETUP].
- Select "PATCHBAY" and then press [ENTER].
- Select “OUTPUT PATCHBAY“ and press [ENTER].
- Select the desired output and press [ENTER].
- Cursor down past the AUX and MTX until the input channels appear (e.g. CH:1, CH:2, etc). These are the DIRECT OUTs for those input channels.
- Press [ENTER] to select a desired input channel's DIRECT OUT.
- Press [EXIT] and repeat these steps for additional input channels.
ASSIGNING DIRECT OUTS POINTS
- In the LAYER section, press [CH1-16] or [CH17-32] to assign the input channels to the fader module section.
