Hey guys. I’m trying to create a scene based preset for myself. But I think I’m doing something wrong about routings. I want my chain to move like Row 1 → Row 3 → Row 4. But there is no audio input on row 3. When I change Row 1’s output to Row 3 only instead of Row 3/4, I get volume on Row 3 but this time I can’t use Row 4.
Preset Link Here is the preset I made.
Do you mean “Row 1 into Row 3, then Row 3 into Row 4”?
Or do you mean, “Row 1 into Rows 3 and 4 in parallel”?
Row 1’s output set to “Row 3/4” sends that signal to 3 and 4 in parallel.
Looks like you have no output assigned for Row 3.
Yep. Here’s what I would do to use all three rows. Use a splitter on the top two rows and on the bottom two rows.
I don’t have a perfect example but this allows me to use all the lanes fully
I meant the first one. ‘Row 1 into Row 3, then Row 3 into Row 4’. But there is no option for Row 4 on Row 3’s output settings.
Anyway, I solved it using a Splitter.
You can use the splitter on Row 3 to go directly to Row 4, but you probably don’t need it–unless you’re trying to use separate outputs for 3 & 4.
Otherwise, you can tuck more of your effects onto Rows 1 & 2 and save some grid room for Row 3 without needing a splitter to go to 4. The screenshot below is an approximation I created of your preset–notice how the Plini octaver and amp capture are included there.
Anyway, do what makes you happy.
I remember reading something like ‘Cortex’s processors are divided in half(?) between rows 1-2 and 3-4’. All I was trying to use my cpu more efficiently.
Otherwise I would put all the effects in the first row.
yes, that’s the reason you can’t directly route 1 to 2 or 3 to 4. You can use a Splitter (as apparently you have) but you lose 1 space on the lane.
Gotcha.
Just keep in mind, processor cores 1 & 2 go to rows 1 & 2 collectively. It’s not the case that processor core 1 goes to row 1 exclusively, processor core 2 to row 2 exclusively. Same goes for processor cores 3 & 4 to rows 3 & 4.
The overdrives you have on row 2 (accessed by the splitter you have there) are still being processed on cores 1 & 2 together. So you probably don’t need that splitter at all there unless you are specifically trying to have a parallel path. I hope that makes sense.
I tend to structure my presets with an eye toward grid cleanliness first and CPU last.
