Cosmix Modes of Operation

MODE ONE: 8 Inputs x 2 Stereo Output Midi Controlled Mixer

The Cosmix can be operated either as a 2 channel (stereo) mixer or as a 4 channel mixer simply by using a different set of MIDI controller numbers.  When used in 2 channel mode, controller numbers 0-7 control the level from the 8 inputs to the stereo Main Out, 8-15 control the level from the inputs to the Aux Out, controllers 16-23 pan the inputs to Main Out and 24-31 pan the input to Aux Out. Notice the Aux inputs are mixed to the Main Out buss allowing connection of a Stereo Signal processor. Also note the Exp inputs are mixed to the Main out buss allowing connection of other Cosmix units. This diagram shows the arrangement when used this way.

 

MODE TWO: 8 Inputs x 4 Mono Outs Midi Controlled Mixer

When used in 4 channel mode, all controller numbers are used to control the levels from the 8 inputs to the 4 outputs.  Controller numbers for this mode range from 32-63 and control the levels for the 8 inputs to outputs 1, the 8 inputs for output 2 and so on for a total of 32 faders.  Note the Aux inputs are connected to the Aux buss rather than the Main buss allowing all 4 channels of another Cosmix to be connected keeping the 4 channels separated all the way down the line.  With this arrangement you can expand up to 128 inputs x 4 outputs.
