is ON, which means that function 1 will come on when Input 1 is ON AND VSA 2

Active is OFF

Sound players and Surround sound

As yet we have made no mention of the sound players, this is because they are

programmed in exactly the same way as VSA players. Throughout Exorcists

development it was intended to maintain as much similarity between the controls as

possible.

One of the advertised features of Exorcist was being able to play your VSA routine

with the sound coming from a selected surround sound speaker.

In order to perform this trick you must first remix the sound file to an AVI or WMA

surround sound file using the instructions for sound mixing (see the 7,1 sound mixer)

Once you have remixed your sound file to play the sound from your selected speaker

you will find that VSA will not play the remixed sound, so reset your VSA routine to

contain NO sound, just delete the sound file from VSA and have VSA play the

animation/lighting in silence.

Next you need to setup an Exorcist sound player to play your sound, and be triggered

at the same time as the VSA routine as follows

VSA 1

Trigger: - Input 1 ON

Reset: - Timer 1 Done

Sound Player 1

Trigger: - Input 1 ON

Reset: - Timer 1 Done

Timer 1

Trigger: - VSA 1 Done

Reset: - Timer 1 Done

Dwell: - 100

Because the VSA player and sound player have the same triggers and resets they will

now be played in synch with each other. The Exorcist sound players are able to play

AVI and WMA files so you can benefit from using a surround sound system.
