Routing

Signal Flow​

In HOLOPHONIX, routing is possible from the Routing window or as Quick Routing in the Inspector Tab for Sources, Speakers, and Bus.

It is important to remember that the signal flow in HOLOPHONIX obeys the following path:

quick routing

You can perform quick routings from the Inspector’s Tab section for all of the routable elements of your preset, except Bus to Speaker. This Quick routing Feature is possible for:

  • Sources in the Audio tab (In to Source) and Sends tab (Source to Bus)
  • Busses in the Audio tab (Source to Bus)
  • Speakers in the Sends tab (Speaker to Outs)

Input​

Use this tab to assign an audio input to a Source or a Direct Routing. An input can be assigned to multiple sources, and a source can receive audio from multiple inputs.

Bus​

Use this tab to assign a Source to a Spatialization Bus, with the following conditions:

  • Each source can be assigned to a maximum of 8 buses,
  • Ambisonics sources (A-Format, B-Format, HOA Stream, etc.) can only be assigned to HOA 3D buses.

Quick Routing for Bus to Speaker within the Inspector is not available as you need to address each Bus channel in the two-dimensional matrix of the Routing window.

Speaker​

Use this tab to assign Loudspeakers to Spatialization Busses.

When you assign Loudspeakers to a Bus, the processor will automatically transmit the speaker’s position to the algorithm that will adjust its calculations accordingly.

Warning

Make sure to assign the bus outputs to speakers that respect the appropriate layout considering the type of bus you are using. Refer to the appropriate algorithm page.

Output​

Use this tab to assign assign your Speakers, LFE and Monitoring buses to audio outputs.

Test Generator​

This test signal generator (pink noise) can be used to check your inputs and outputs.

Gain​

Sets the level of the pink noise.

Channel selection​

Use the channel drop-down menu to select on which input/output the test signal will be routed.

You can use the left and right arrows to route the signal to the next input/output.

An automatic switching option is available. Just choose the first and last inputs/outputs to be tested, set a timing and activate the automatic switching mode by clicking on the 'Auto' button.

Diagnoal, Click & Drag Routing​

New Diagonal, Click & Drag Routing

With HOLOPHONIX 2.1 you can now click & drag in the routing grid. To create a diagonal routing, maintain the Shift key pressed then click & drag.
