Save settings.../Load settings...
  From the STUDIO-CAPTURE's control panel, you can save the current settings as a file, or load previously saved settings from a file.
  The following settings are saved.
  - Preamp settings
  - Compressor settings
  - Attenuator settings
  - Monitor mixer A-D settings
  - Reverb settings
  - Patch bay settings
  If you're using two connected STUDIO-CAPTURE units, you can save/load the settings for each unit individually.
Open the Patch Bay
  As appropriate for your needs, you can freely assign the output destinations of the four monitor mixers and the output destinations of the playback channels from the computer.
  To make settings, select the source to be patched in for each output jack.
  Clicking the [INITIAL SETTING] button will return the settings to their factory-set state.
  At the factory settings, audio output from monitor mixer A will be output from output jacks 1 and 2, and the computer's playback (WAVE OUT 3--10) will be output from output jacks 3 through 10.
  When you click the [MULTIPLE-MONITOR] button, Monitor Mixer A--D will be output directly to output jacks 1–8.
  When you click the [DIRECT WAVE OUT] button, the output from the computer will be output without change.

  * | When operating with a sampling frequency of 192 kHz, the patch bay is not available. The output settings will be fixed at the four channels OUTPUT 1-2: MONITOR A and OUTPUT 3-4: WAVE OUT 3-4. The inputs will be fixed at INPUT 1–8.

> Source name | Explanation
> WAVE OUT 1 - 10 | Playback sound from the computer
> MONITOR A - D | Output sound from monitor mixers A-D

Directly Output the Inputs
  The input signals will be passed directly to the output jacks.

* | The settings of monitors A–D and the patch bay will change.

  This is convenient when you want to use a mixing console to adjust monitor levels without using the STUDIO-CAPTURE's internal mixer.
