I know that the ME-500 can only access 16 mono or stereo signals, compared to 40 sources on the Me-1.
When I look at QU-Pad, IO Patch, Monitor, I see that the “available” inputs include not only the 32 channels, but also ST1-3, all the FX returns, all 4 groups, all the mixes, a variety of LR mixes, 4 matrices, and even PAFL L&R.
I just want to confirm that the Me-500 can select 16 mono or stereo sources from all of these available sources., as long as I edit the IOPatch/Monitor page so that the sources I want for Me-500 are patched to inputs 1-16 on the QU Monitor page. I understand that this software Monitor Patchbay is also independent of any physical inputs I may have patched on the hardware QU.
Is this correct?
