MixConvert V6 can be used as an insert effect like other plug-ins but it also has special functions. The MixConvert V6 plug-in is also used to convert an audio-related channel into a different format if the corresponding input/output configuration is not handled by VST MultiPanner. The sequencer application places MixConvert V6 automatically where needed.
Input/Output Channel Configuration
The input configuration is determined by the channel width of the track, group, or output bus on which MixConvert V6 is inserted.
If MixConvert V6 replaces the panner, the output configuration is determined by the destination of the channel or cue send.
If MixConvert V6 is used as an insert effect, the output configuration can be modified using the Select Output Channel Configuration pop-up menu. You can select any configuration from the VST 3 specification that contains speakers that are also present in the input configuration.
You can change the output configuration by loading a preset.
