5.1. Getting to know your H9000¶

5.1.1. Signal Routing¶

There are a few general “rules” about signal routing in the H9000 which are useful to keep in mind.

You can only use one digital audio protocol at any given time. This will be determined in your Digital Audio Mode setup.
When using S/PDIF over the optical ADAT connectors, you can only work at sample rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz. Sample rates of 88.2kHz and 96kHz are not supported.
FX chains support 32 inputs and 32 outputs. The outputs of an FX chain can be “multed” to an arbitrary number of physical Input/Output channels, computer audio interface channels, etc.

The H9000 user interface has context-sensitive “soft keys” on the left and right sides of the display.

There are two different types of soft keys on the H9000:

“Normal” soft keys: These execute their labeled action when pressed.
“Latching” soft keys: When pressed, they change the front panel display to a different state. Think of the latching soft keys as a quick way to access “sub-menus” or alternate screens on the H9000. Latching soft keys are visually distinguished by a small triangular “flag” in the top corner of the key.
