Appendix A: Controlling the SixtyFour from MotorMate
The red “source” LED indicates that the channel BURN
switches are the Source selectors for the SixtyFour.
Press any of the 8 BURN switches and its LED will light
to show that a source has been selected. The Source
Labels will appear on the top row of the LCD, and the
Source level will be on the bottom row.
Press the ROUTERS switch again and the yellow “destin”
LED will light. Now you are dealing with the destination
outputs on the SixtyFour.
The top row of the LCD will display the Destination
labels. The bottom row of the LCD shows the Destination
level settings. Stereo Destinations will show level and
stereo balance from Left 99 to Right 99. The 8 rotary
pots now control the destination levels and stereo
balances. Any Destinations that are routed to the
previously selected Source will light to show that they are
routed to that Source.
When the “source” or “destin” Burn Mode LED’s are on,
the upper panel of MotorMate no longer controls the
DAW, although the channel Mute and Solo switches still
control the DAW.
The lower panel of MotorMate continues to operate the
DAW as normal except for the SHIFT, DEFAULT, SAVE,
ON LINE, ENT and ESC. These exceptions are
described later.
To exit SixtyFour operations, and return the upper panel
to DAW operations, press the MIXER, PREAMPS or the
STEREO/SURRND switch. If there are any pending
operations on the SixtyFour, they must be completed
before exiting.
Creating LCD Channel Labels
Whenever the “source” or “destin” LED’s are lit, the Sixty
Four Source or Destination labels appear on the top row
of the LCD on MotorMate. These labels are stored inside
each SixtyFour device. The SixtyFour comes with
Source labels already defined as Source 01, Source 02
etc. The Destination labels already defined as Destin 01,
Destin 02 etc. Each label is 10 characters long.
Viewing Un-truncated labels
The LCD shows the first 2 and last 2 characters of each
label. Press and hold any channel SELECT switch (just
below the LCD) on MotorMate, and all 10 characters of
that channel will appear on the top row of the LCD.
Editing Labels
To edit a label, first press and hold down the ON LINE
switch on MotorMate and then press a SELECT switch to
begin editing that label. Its label will appear on the top
row of the LCD. Use the upper panel switches to enter
the desired name. The left and right View switches move
the edit cursor, and the decimal point switch (MUTE
switch on channel 8) functions as a space key. To
capitalize a letter, press SHIFT down first.
You can also access a pre defined device list by pressing
the View Stick up or down.
To abort the edit, press the ESC switch or press ENT
switch to save the label inside the SixtyFour.
Mono Source and Destination Labels
These can be labelled any way you like, but remember
that most of the time they will be truncated on the LCD,
so make your selection accordingly.
Stereo Source and Destination Labels
Use the same name for the left and right channels of a
stereo pair, but add a /L (a slash and a capital L) as the
last two characters for the left channel, and a /R (a slash
and a capital R) as the last two characters for the right
channel.
Note that you must also define Left and Right pairs in the
SixtyFour utility mode as defined in the SixtyFour owners
manual.
Surround Destination Labels
The Surround outputs on the SixtyFour should be set up
in the following order: Left channel, Right channel,
Center channel, Left Rear channel, Right Rear channel
and Subwoofer channel. They must be on adjacent
Destination outputs on the SixtyFour. For example
Destination outputs 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 ,27 could be the 6
surround channels.
You can assign all 6 labels automatically by the following
procedure. Assume that you want to assign your
surround outputs to be on Destinations 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
30.
Step 1. Press the ROUTERS: switch until the “destin”
LED is lit.
Step 2. Press the “VIEW” switches until Destination 25
(shown as DE25) is on the LCD.
