Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Chapter 4: Store system programming ControlSpace Designer software allows you to set up signal processing associations, and configurations to meet the unique needs of your project. For example, a restaurant may need three different settings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can store these different “scenes” and they can be recalled later.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Groups ControlSpace Designer software allows you to link the behavior of two or more similar signal processing blocks using groups. There are two types of groups: grouped signal processing blocks and grouped gains. When you group signal processing blocks together (such as two Parametric EQs), the settings are synchronized: changes to one block affect the others in the group.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide You can drag and drop two or more similar blocks from the ESP-88 window to create a group. In this example we will create a group called “CD” since we do not need to independently adjust the input levels of the CD L and CD R sources. Follow these steps to group two input blocks together: 1. Select two input blocks by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on them, and drag them onto the “Group 1: “Group 1”” text line. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide 2. Rename the group by selecting the group in the Groups window and pressing F2, or right click and choose Rename. Name the group “CD”. Figure 4.4 - Rename the group 3. In the Groups window, right click on Group 1: “CD”, and select Master Fader.... Figure 4.5 - Open the Master Fader The Master Fader opens. Use this fader to control both of the inputs in the group.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide 4. To verify the correct behavior, open the Master Fader, and both input control panels. Move the slider on the Master Fader. The input sliders are controlled by the Master Fader. Figure 4.6 - Adjust the gain on the Master Fader to change the gain on both inputs. Note: The grouped faders will maintain their relative positions when adjusting the Master Fader. You can change the level of an individual group member at any time.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide You can view the contents of a group by expanding the tree structure for a group in the Groups window. The tree structure displays the devices that are included in the group and the properties that are controlled in the group. Figure 4.7 - Group tree structure After storing a group, the Clear button in the Groups window is highlighted in orange. This indicates that a group has been stored. To clear the contents of the group, press the orange Clear button.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide To add a group, right click underneath the Clear buttons and choose Add Group. The new group is added after Group 16. Figure 4.9 - Adding a group Note: If you want to change which properties (Level, Mute) are controlled in a group, you must first clear the contents of the group, then redrag the blocks into the group. When two signal processing blocks (other than gain blocks) are grouped together, their settings are synchronized.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Besides dragging and dropping from the ESP-88 window, the following are two additional methods by which you can add blocks to a group: • Select one or more blocks, right click, and choose Add To Group. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide • Create a group using the Group Nodes List. Right click on the group name in the Groups window, and choose Group Nodes List.... The Group Nodes List window opens showing all blocks that are available for grouping. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Place a checkmark in the box next to the items you want to add to the group. Note that after you place the first checkmark, only blocks of the same type are available for grouping. Other noncompatible blocks are grayed out. In Figure 4.13 below, a gain (input) type block has been checked in the Group Nodes List. This block can only be grouped with other gain type blocks, so all non-gain type blocks are automatically grayed out. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Parameter Sets Parameter sets are a collection of signal processing block settings. A parameter set stores a snapshot of these settings which can later be recalled or invoked. Use parameter sets when you want to change the state of specific parameters without affecting the state of the entire design. Creating parameter sets To open the Parameter Sets window, choose Window > Parameter Sets. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide To create a parameter set first set the signal processing to the desired state. Then select the signal processing blocks in the ESP-88 window whose state you want to store, and drag and drop them onto a parameter set in the Parameter Sets window. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide The state of the signal processing block is now stored in the parameter set. To verify what settings are contained in a parameter set, expand the tree structure in the Parameter Sets window. The tree structure displays each block that is included in the parameter set, and the state of the settings for each block. Tip: Double-click on a name in the tree structure to open the control panel for that device or block. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Another way to add blocks to a parameter set is to select one or more blocks, right click, and choose Add To Parameter Set. Figure 4.18 - Right click to add to a parameter set Note: 70 To change the value of a setting in the parameter set, first change the setting in the control panel and then re-drag the block into the parameter set. You do not need to delete the block from the parameter set.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Parameter Set Nodes List You can also create or modify a parameter set by using the Parameter Set Nodes List. Double-click on the parameter set name in the Parameter Sets window, or right click and choose Parameter Set Nodes List.... The Parameter Set Nodes List window opens showing all signal processing nodes in your system. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Note that you can expand most blocks to view the individual settings for the block. Figure 4.20 - Expand a device to see properties If you are creating a new parameter set, you can specify exactly which settings you want to store. To store all settings for a given block, place a check mark next to the block name, as shown in Figure 4.21. Note that all the settings within the block are automatically selected. Figure 4.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Storing discrete parameters To include only specific settings in the parameter set, use the Parameter Set Nodes List and place a check mark next to the settings within the block, as shown in Figure 4.22. For example, you may want your parameter set to set the gain level of an input block, but not affect the mute status. When this parameter set is invoked, only the selected settings will be changed.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Recalling parameter sets The Recall buttons in the Parameter Sets window are change to orange when a parameter set is stored. Pressing recall changes the state of all specified signal processing blocks to the values stored in the parameter set. You can open the individual signal processing block control panels and then recall parameter sets to verify that you have stored the correct settings.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Creating presets To open the Presets window, go to Window > Presets.

Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Chapter 6: Program GPI/O and Serial Input/Output General Purpose Inputs (GPI) The ESP has 8 GPI that can be expanded to 16 GPI with the addition of a GPIO expansion card. GPI are used to connect external hardware such as potentiometers (to control levels or gains) and switches (to select a parameter set or preset). You assign functions to the external control in the GPI control panel in ControlSpace Designer software. Figure 6.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide To open the GPI control panel, double-click on the GPI block in the ESP88 window. Figure 6.2 - Open the GPI control panel Use the programming tree in the bottom half of the GPI control panel to assign functions that are invoked by the eight General Purpose Inputs. You can drag and drop signal processing blocks, parameter sets, groups, or presets onto the text lines.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Operating modes General Purpose Inputs can be configured to operate in one of three modes: digital, up/down, and analog. Use the Mode buttons in the GPI control panel to switch a GPI to a different mode. Operating Mode Description Digital Typically used when connecting a switch or push button, this mode expects a normally open switch for operation.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Programming GPI To program a GPI, drag and drop from the ESP-88 window onto a text line in the programming tree of the GPI control Panel. For example, to program a potentiometer on GPI 1 to control the wireless mic gain, first switch the GPI to analog mode, then drag the wireless mic input block onto “Analog Control Input 1:” Figure 6.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Invoking signal processing blocks using a GPI You can use a switch or button connected to a GPI to recall a snapshot of blocks in your system. When the external switch or button is pushed, the block’s settings are returned to the pre-defined state. For example, you could use an external button to switch a Selector block to a certain input. To do this, first set the Selector block to the desired state.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide When you assign a signal processing block to a digital GPI, the Set Mode window opens. This window is used to designate whether the snapshot of the signal processing block is recalled when the external switch is closed (ON) or open (OFF). Figure 6.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Open the GPI tree structure to verify what has been programmed. Figure 6.6 - Open the tree structure to view what is programmed All signal processing blocks (except meters) can be invoked by an external switch in this “snapshot” manner using a GPI in digital mode. You can also invoke multiple blocks with an external switch in this manner by dragging multiple blocks into one GPI programming tree.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Controlling a group Grouped gains can be controlled by GPIs in analog mode, digital mode, or up/down mode.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Using a potentiometer Use a GPI in Analog mode when connecting an external potentiometer control. A potentiometer can be used to control a gain block, or a group of gains. For example, your system might only require a main volume knob mounted to the wall. Drag the gain block or group into an Analog input in the GPI control panel. Figure 6.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide You can adjust the maximum, minimum and step size for the analog control. Right click on Property in the GPI tree structure and choose Edit Volume Property. The Volume Property dialog box opens.

Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Using up and down buttons for volume control Use a GPI Digital Up/Down input to control a volume level using two buttons. Up/down buttons can be used to control a gain block, or a group of gains. Drag the gain block or group into a Digital Up/Down input in the GPI control panel. Figure 6.10 - Drag a group onto a GPI set to up/down mode You can adjust the maximum, minimum and step size for the Digital Up/ Down control.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Testing GPI Use the Test buttons in the GPI control panel to simulate the operation of a GPI. In analog mode, such as when a potentiometer is attached, pressing the test button will pop up a fader control. In digital mode, the test buttons will simulate ON and Off states. Figure 6.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide General Purpose Outputs (GPO) The ESP-88 has 8 GPO that can be expanded to 16 GPO with the addition of a GPIO expansion card. GPO are often used as indicators that are activated when the system is in a certain state. For example, you might use GPO to signal an external device, like a video switcher, when a certain parameter set is chosen. Or, you could attach an LED to a GPO and program it to illuminate when a parameter set is invoked.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Set the state of a specific GPO channel by clicking on the ON/OFF button. Figure 6.13 - Click a button to set the GPO state Programming GPO The process for programming a GPO is different than that of a GPI. There are two ways to program a GPO. The first method is to use the Project Directory. After setting the state of the GPO to ON or OFF, find the GPO in the Project Directory window, and drag it into a parameter set, or timer.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide The second method is to use the Parameter Set Nodes List (this only applies to parameter sets). To program a GPO to be activated by a parameter set, open the Parameter Set Nodes List by right clicking on the parameter set name, and place a checkmark next to the desired GPO. Figure 6.
Bose® ControlSpace™ Designer™ Software User Guide Serial Inputs The ESP-88 has a serial port that can be used to send and receive serial strings or commands.
