Hi
You can use the sub outputs as inputs!!??? (yep it sounds crazy..)
The sub output sockets are stereo sockets, so there is a tip, a ring 
and a sleeve connection on the plug.
If you route an internal signal to one / both of the sub outs it 
appears on the tip of the plug.
Then you can then send a signal back in on the ring connection of the 
plug. This gets mixed back into the main buss outputs after the FX.
So you can either use it as an insert point to use some external FX, 
or just feed an external signal back in.
There are a couple of issues for me though using it like that..
Theres no pan on the signal coming back so you have to either do it 
it stereo or have a mono signal coming back split between the 2 sub 
inputs. You will just get the returned signal on either the left or 
right main outputs otherwise.
Theres no gain control either coming back so you have to set the 
level on the gear your feeding into the command station.
I found the inputs a bit to sensitive for my use, though there are 
work arounds..
Hope that makes sense
Gonz
