Output Busses
Below the Control Module are the output busses. A buss is the place to add audio effects to
multiple instrument modules simultaneously or control the mix of several modules as a group.
On each buss you can:
View audio levels going into the audio output device (post buss effects) with the
Audio Meter.
Change the volume of all audio routed to the buss with the buss volume fader (post
buss effects).
Add, remove or reorder VST and DirectX audio effects.
Display the console for each VST and DirectX audio effect.
Select an audio output device.
Each buss is assigned to a single mono or stereo audio output and may share hardware
outputs. You may rename busses by clicking on the “Buss Name” field and entering a new
name.
The audio meter displays peak level. Red is clipping level. To correct for overdriven outputs
you may:
Adjust the buss volume fader. This affects every module feeding the buss.
Adjust audio output level at the instrument or audio effect console. Many instruments
and audio effects have output level controls.
Adjust audio output level using MIDI input. Many instruments respond to MIDI
controller 7 (volume).
Change the global volume trim in Preferences.
The audio meter also provides an indication of audio dropouts. When an output is incapable
of providing enough audio to the sound card, it will notify you by driving the meter to bright
red. If no sound is being produced but the meter intermittently shows a spike, check to make
sure you are not running too many modules and busses.
