CB Electronics XPatch-64

Once configured, XPatch-64 can operate independently of the XPatch-64 program and host computer via the front panel encoder or foot-switch. By switching between snapshots, the foot-switch enables the XPatch-64 to be used as a powerful studio or live performance tool for musicians.

In any studio, the XPatch-64 can make it quick and easy to use your favorite new and legacy hardware effect’s units in your mix.The XPatch-64 is a versatile stand-alone analogue routing/switching system for on-stage boutique instrument processing or amplifier selection.
Individual Channel Level Control & Mutes of inputs & Outputs

The major problem with an electronic patch is cross-talk especially between signals at different levels. The X-Patch 64 inherits input and output gain control from the A-Mon/I-Mon, the input gain control allows levels within the patch to be optimized minimizing cross-talk. Unused inputs and outputs are muted further reducing cross-talk.

Zero Crossing “Clickless” Switching
The output gain control includes zero crossing switching as shown in the music waveform capture below
• Metering of Inputs & Outputs
The X-Patch-64 inherits 8 channels of metering from the A-Mon/I-Mon, these are connected in parallel with outputs 63 - 64 and can be viewed in the Mac/Windows GUI
• Connect a TMC-1 or TMC-2 to use as Monitor Controller with Electronic Patch
When used with a TMC-1 or TMC-2 part of the XPatch-64 may be configured as the monitoring system for any format from stereo up to 7.1.4. The channel count,cue sends and talkback and listen back are user configurable allowing for the XPatch-64 to split between monitoring and electronic patch to suit user requirements.
