Can't assign stereo aux to ME-500 single button

[Sonji]

I using ME-500 with dLive C3500.
Mono and Stereo input channel’s Direct Out to ME-500 works fine.
But stereo aux channel to ME-500 single button doesn’t work.

ex) Toms, OverHead & Ride, Back Vocals

Hi Sonji,

On the ME tab of the I/O screen, you can touch any of the output sockets on the top to link odd/even output pairs, so that they will be seen as a stereo source in the ME-500 or ME-1.

Hi Sonji,

What mixer are you using?
In general, you can only link odd/even pairs. Even when you skip an output (e.g. output 2 in the configuration above), the ME will see your Snare as source #2, HiHat as source #3, therefore a stereo pair on source #4/5 would not work. I suggest you reshuffle your patch as follows: click, kick, snare, hihat, so that all of the stereo pairs are odd/even sources.

You might also want to have a look at the ME-1, which allows more flexible mapping to the 16 keys including groups of channels, saving precious aux mixes on your console!
