Flock Audio PATCH 64-point Digitally Controlled Analog Patchbay

The Flock Audio Patch System is the world's most advanced digitally controlled 100% analog audio patch bay routing system. HARDWARE

Beautiful on the outside and powerful under the hood, Patch hardware may appear simple but is packed with deep user functionality.

2 COMBO INPUTS & 2 XLR OUTPUTS

The PATCH System comes equipped with 4 Connectors housed in the front panel of the system. 2 - Inputs (XLR/TRS Combo jacks) and 2 - XLR Output jacks. These front panel connectors allow a user quickly & easily integrate outside audio equipment or instruments into your recording setup. The front panel connection points are optional use and can be activated/deactivated via using the Flock Audio PATCH APP. The 2 - Inputs (XLR/TRS) are also capable of powering 48 V microphones.

FRONT PANEL LED INDICATORS

Three colored LED Indicators assist the user with visual notifications including:

- Host Signal - This LED Illuminates solid Blue when the PATCH System Hardware is connected and communicating with the associated CPU
- 48 V Front Inputs - This LED Illuminates solid Blue when 48 V has been enabled to the Front Input Combo Jacks, notifying the user to not plug or unplug any audio equipment until the the 48 V is disabled
- External 48 V Warning - This LED Illuminates solid Red when any connected preamp has its 48 V actively on, because The PATCH System has its own on-board 48 V Power, its not necessary to activate 48 V on the connected preamp

USB-A TO USB-B CONTROL

The PATCH System uses very little CPU processing power to send and receive commands from the hardware. Because of the minimal amount of processing required, the PATCH System works off a USB 2.0 and on-wards compatibility. The design was chosen for a low CPU usage so you can have your system processing working harder for your Interface & DAW rather then devoting a large amount of that processing to routing your analog audio equipment.

DB25 REAR CONNECTIONS

DB-25's/D-Subs create a clean, simple and organized form of connections to the rear chassis of PATCH. Utilizing the standard Tascam Wiring Pinout schematic, any DB-25/D-Sub cable following this wiring format will work seamlessly with your system. For additional flexibility, Inputs & Outputs (31-32) will flip from the rear side of the chassis to the front when activated in the PATCH APP. This allows a user to quickly audition other outside audio equipment without disconnecting any already designated hardware connected to the PATCH System.

MULTI-PATCH UNIT EXPANSION

Connect Multiple PATCH Systems together for Expanded I/O Routing Capabilities. The PATCH System has no A/D or D/A conversions built in and with that comes no rules either..meaning connections for audio processing is transferred purely through an analog circuitry no digital. Users can connect multiple PATCH Systems together through their existing on-board I/O in many different configurations, whether you do equal Sends & , maybe more sends than or even as little or as many connections between units as you require for your analog configurations. SOFTWARE

Designed with a familiar look & feel but all around original. The PATCH APP harnesses a powerful amount of flexibility in 4 user friendly sections illustrated below.

HARDWARE INDEX

Store all of your outboard hardware for easy drag & drop in the "Hardware Index". The PATCH APP allows a user to customize and store all of their outboard audio equipment into an easy to use searchable Index.

STORED ROUTINGS MENU

Create, Store & Recall various routing configurations in seconds. The PATCH APP Routings Menu allow users to quickly Store active routings and recall them at a later date. The Routings Menu even has the ability to open the external storage folder right from the application so you can move Stored Routings to DAW session folders for better organization.

CONTROLS & TOGGLES

Quickly bank through 32 available Paths (8 per bank), Add additional digital rack spaces for more processing then 10 default spaces, clear single or all active paths for new routing opportunities and engage the front Inputs & Outputs right from the PATCH APP. This bottom section of the app allows the user to control important parameters of the PATCH System while on the fly.

ACTIVE ROUTINGS

The Active Routings section of the PATCH APP is where a user can setup and visually see their active routings. Using the simplicity of Drag & Drop functionality, a user can click and drag any piece of analog hardware from the Hardware Index into a Path to create their desired signal flow combination. Designed on the visual concept of most DAW layouts the PATCH APP Activate Routings section immediately becomes a familiar sight soon as user begins clicking around the in the app. DOUB
