Aux sends feed the Eventides. The Eventide outputs are patched to channel line inputs. Whatever the signal source may be (another musician or musicians, CD or other playback devices) also comes in through channel line or mic inputs. This is the same garden-variety path I've used since about 1980, when I started doing electroacoustic performance as a mixer/processor of other performers. It allows any signal to be routed to any processor, including routing of one processor to another processor (I've even routed a processor to itself, though this takes steady nerves and good ears). The Mackie is not a perfect mixer for this setup because it doesn't allow arbitrary pre/post selection on any auxiliary, but it suffices for most situations. Lately I have been driving both inputs of each Eventide with a single aux send (this keeps things simple, with just three auxes to keep track of) but in the past I have driven each 'tide with two auxes. This allows better stereo imaging and supports the vocoder algorithm, but in the kind of wild and wooly improvisation I prefer it tends to complexify things a bit to have six aux sends and as many as 14-16 inputs. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://salamandersongs.com http://ill-wind.com
