Hi Keith,
Thanks for the quick response.
I think you have hit the nail on the head – my confusion over Input Channels vs Sockets.
So my plan (to keep it simple for myself and for others) is to make Input Channel 9/10 linked to Socket 9/10 (on SLink) and Input Channel 11 going to Socket 11 (on Slink) and change the labels and processing via copy/paste.
Should then be clean link of Input Channel # to Socket #.
Thanks again for the explanation and your time. Great support !
