Input FX Pre Fader Patch
The data next passes through the FX Pre Fader Patch (Optional). This allows you to patch in SAC or
SAWStudio native plug-ins, or DirectX or VST plug-ins. These FX process in the order they are
patched.

The yellow FX icon will display a bar graphic across the two holes when plug-ins are assigned.
[Left-Clicking] on this icon will display a broken bar, which means the plug-ins are bypassed.
This FX Patch processes the data at an internal resolution of 24 bits, regardless of the final session
resolution setting.

If you are using VSTi Synth plug-ins that generate sound, you would probably want to route
the FX Pre Fader Patch point in front of the Eq/Dyn section so that you could use the EQ and
Dynamics processing to alter the signal.
Input Aux Sends
At this point the data stream can be split off into multiple directions at once. There are six stereo Aux
Sends which can mix the channel data stream with other channel data streams into the Aux Master
section. The Aux Masters can be routed back to the Return channels virtually, allowing reverb and
other plug-ins to be processed across multiple channels at once, or can be routed externally to any of
the audio device outs for headphone monitor feeds or external processing units like reverbs, which
can then be brought back into the mix live, in almost perfect real-time sync.
The Aux Send Pan allows left/right balance adjustment of the data being sent to the Aux Master mix.
The Aux Send Volume Slider allows level adjustment of the data being sent to the Aux Master mix.
The Aux Send In switch allows the send to be activated or deactivated.
The Aux Send Post Fader switch forces the data split off to occur after the channel fader and pan
controls when engaged and before the fader and pan controls when not engaged.

[Left-Clicking] on the individual Aux Number text (1, 2, 3, etc.) or the main Aux Asgn text in
any of the Aux Send sections will display a menu of special Aux Send options.
Aux Master Labels
This section displays the Aux Master labels for reference only. Selecting any item will close the menu.
No action will be taken.
Input Solo Switch
The data next passes through the Solo routine. The output and input solos may be operated together,
and output group solos may be nested with individual channels still contained within the group. The
routines keep an internal updated count on each channel that is soloed.
You may combine solos from multiple channels to hear a blend of selected signals.

Pressing the [Shift] key when activating the first Solo switch, keeps the Return channels active
so you may hear the blend of reverb returns with the soloed channels. This only works when
