Selectors
On the Selectors tab, you can configure the selectors of the device. You can select, which audio signal is used as a default source. After switching on the device or after a reset, the selectors point to the sources selected here. These are also enabled if no monitoring key was defined. If you press an enabled monitoring key again, the assigned source is disabled and the default source is used again.
In the Available Selectors list, you can see all created selectors. Click Add to create a new selector. You can create up to 300 selectors.
Note
300 selectors are supported for 52/XC2, 52/XD2, 52XS2 cores only.
52/XC, 52XD, and 52/XS support only up to 200 selectors.
Note
Toolbox v9.1.0 & FW 9.1.0 or higher: With the introduction of Hardware Selectors a maximum of two Selectors can be directly cascaded after another.
If the direct cascade of Selectors is or should be longer, some of the involved Selectors need to be “buffered” via Output Functions, Super Output Functions or Fixed Processings in order to meet the mentioned maximum. Otherwise this specific audio path will be muted.
To delete a selector, select the desired selector in the Available Selectors list and click Remove.
Please read in the Output Functions and I/O Overview sections how to link selectors and outputs.
In the areas on the right hand side, you can change options for the selected selector.
