Hi Jeff,

You can't change the order of your inputs - that's a MOTU thing.  I mean, you can plug stuff into different sockets on your MOTUs.  It would be very confusing to introduce yet another level of remapping.

You can rename what names the MOTU gives though, so it's more friendly.  It is under Configuration -> Mixer Design Manager, the first two tabs.

You can view the current configuration under Configuration -> Channel Names and Routing.  I suppose we could make this editable...

Just to make my point... ironic timing...  went to use d&b ArrayCalc on my Dell XPS laptop from work...  weird graphics problem where some of the application window gets hidden by the titlebar of the app.  Checked in with support... sure enough, they said it was a known problem specific to some Dell computers they were trying to sort out.  I get to be the Beta test fixer for ArrayCalc on Dell... fun, fun...
Something to do with certain graphics chipsets, but only with Dells apparently.  Luckily we have a couple of Lenovo desktops and Mini PCs in our office.

Don't buy a Dell!   

When I worked for Richmond Sound Design, we specifically said, No Dell.  Buy a Dell to our control software...  don't blame us when you have odd ball issues, we are not going to try and figure them out.   

I know why these things pop up but I've seen it many time over the years with their stuff.  I get why businesses buy their stuff, they make it easy to roll out large purchases of new machines and when you buy that many you can make Dell help solve these issues. 

Anyway, sorry... rant over....  I'd buy an Apple before I spend my own money on a Dell... and that's saying something.   

There is no fast way to do it, with an Excel Sheet like Patchbay ala Dante Controller.  But you can set some of the patching in one of the windows you access in the menus.  I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty now since I've stepped away from designing shows for a while.  (new job in the big city)

But there is one window that lets you name the channels and if I am not mistaken you can set the I/O patch there?  I could be wrong about that.  I know some of the mixer set up windows also had places where you could set the patch. 

I think there is also a way you could create your own wdl window which would just show input patches for all channels at once.  It depends on if there is a widget that allows you access the patch in a Mixer wdl.  I don't remember if there is or not.  I created some wdl files that just showed DCA assignments for all the channels.  So perhaps something similar could be created for input patching.

To be honest though I think if it's something where you're going to set it up once and leave it, it would be just as easy to open a Channel Strip wdl, and use your mouse to set the input and use the arrow keys to skip forward and backward in the channels.  You should be able to use your scroll wheel to set the patch as well.  I know you can do that, because I used to do that all the time.  Just arrow between each channel, leave the mouse over the input patch drop down and just wheel up and down for each channel.   I created new patches for each production I worked on and I could set it all up on my home machine based on I/O number rather than name and it was all set to go after load in.  Just drop in the show file and open it up.  All patching, channel names, mixer layout etc were all ready to go.

Sorry to be vague, just haven't touched AMP since March unfortunately.

Hey folks,
Maybe I missed it, but is there a keyboard shortcut / mouse operations (right/left click, w/key combos, etc) list out there?

Thanks,
Jeff
