GT Radial WORKHORSE 500 SERIES Manual De Usuario

True to the Music

Now consider another variation that uses both a patch cable and the 
FEED function to split the signal and route it to a fourth module. The 
image below shows how this is done by connecting a patch from the 
fi rst module to the fourth module while the FEED function routes the 
signal to the second and third modules. The mic signal has been 
split into two signal paths that can be processed seperately.

Using Modules In Series And Parallel
When you are using Radial modules, the signal will automatically 
be sent to the Workhorse’s internal mix buss while still making the 
output available at each card slot. The way this works is quite simple; 
each module output is sent to the Workhorse mixer where it can be 
turned on, panned left or right and be adjusted. This is where things 
can really get wild. 

Using the same ‘channel strip’ example as above, you can set up a 
mic preamp to connect to an EQ which then will feed a compressor. 
The signal will not only be available at the direct output of the 
compressor module, but each of the module outputs will also be 
routed to the individual mixer channels 1~3. This means that you 
can turn on or off each module at the mixer and listen to the signal 
before it goes into the next module. This lets you optimize the signal 
fl ow for distortion and sonic character. You can record the combined 
signal via the warm sounding Jensen transformers on the main 
outputs, while still capturing the sound of the original unprocessed 
signal using the mic preamp’s direct output at the card slot I/O.

Using The Workhorse For Overdubs
Begin by setting up a channel strip using a mic preamp, EQ and 
limiter. These are plugged into slots 1, 2 and 3. Set the FEED switch 
in the up position on modules 1 and 2 so that the signal is routed 
in series. Plug your mic in turn on the phantom power on the mic 
preamp if you are using a condenser microphone. Take the XLR 
output from card-slot 3 (limiter) and send this to your recorder. Turn 
on channel-3 on the Workhorse mixer to monitor the level via the 
monitor outputs or headphones. 

To overdub, send the stereo playback tracks into the Workhorse 
using mixer channels 7 and 8 via the summing input D-Sub. Pan 
channel-7 left, and channel-8 right. Adjust the relative signals 
between the channel strip on mixer channel-3 and the stereo 
program on channels 7 and 8. Hit record!
