Hello
I've been using a Luna II for a couple of years with the standard 1632 mixer.
I'm about to add a second Luna II card - do I need a new software mixer to be able to be able to choose which hardware outputs to route each input to - if so which one?
Many thanks
Jonathan

im using a 2 luna setup.
not sure i completly understand the question, but, but after you install the second card, and connect them via stdm cable, you will have access to twice as many connections as you had before. in example, instead of having "Luna Analog Dest", You will have ""Luna Analog Dest A" and "Luna Analog Dest B".
same goes with midiconnections.
so to answer your question, you can in example route the main mix to the analog out of one card, while routing the direct out of channel 5 (just an example)to the analog outs of the other. or ofcourse main mix to both simultaniously.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm looking for something a little more flexible then assigning the software mix outputs to the first card's hardware outputs and then only having direct outs available for the second card. Although I can see that this would work very well in a lot of situations.
Actually I think I've found the answer in the Scope 4.0 pdf manual under the 2448/4896 mixer section.
Her's an excerpt from the manual:
Board IDs
If you have more than one DSP board
installed in your system, and you are
using numerous external I/Os with the
mixer, you can assign particular channels
to specific boards. Correctly configured,
this can relieve the DSP system greatly.
You can assign the first 12 mono/stereo
channels and the entire Master section
to one board, and the next 12 channels
(13-24) either to the same board, or TO
another. With the STM 4896 an additional
two groups of 12 channels can be
independently assigned.
Thses mixers also have bus outputs which could be useful.
I think I'll have to upgrade to one of these mixers and experiment.
Thanks

His routing example was only that, an example. When using 2 cards you simply get the additional hardware sources/destinations in SFP alongside your current card's hardware sources/destinations (provided you load them from the top bar of course). This means you're already free to route to & from anything as u wish within the limits of SFP (outputs can connect to only 1 input but inputs are chainable etc). You do NOT need to purchase any new mixers to have this flexibility.
The main reason I can see for doing as the manual suggested above would be to relieve phase issues when routing multiple versions of a signal into a mixer (multiple mics as for drums); you would want to insure that all the channels you're routing into for that particular 'submix' on the mixer is phase coherent.
