In offline mode, you can make virtual settings for an input/output unit (e. g. , S-1608 stage unit, S-0816 FOH unit, S-4000S 40-channel I/O modular rack) that will later be connected to the M-380 console. This lets you make preamp gain settings or input/ output patching ahead of time, to specify the M-380's input/output settings that will be used at the actual performance.
Settings in the REAC Config dialog box are used to supplement offline mode. When you load a project on the M-380 console itself, or switch to online mode, the settings for the input/output units that are actually connected to the M-380 will be applied.
