Preliminary Manual RELAY BOX - RB132/GP132 USER’S GUIDE NOTES ON GP132 OPERATION The GP132 has a bi-directional MIDI control port, however, MMC and SysEx are single directional and are received by the GP132. When you use this unit for track arming or fader starts, the GP132 receives MIDI commands and then activates relays. Therefore, if something wrong with MIDI connection or if the GP132 power is off, there is no way for the console to know that the GP132 is not being controlled properly.

Each GPI relay can be set for pulsed (momentary y) operation. Additionally , this behavior can be set to operate in either or both fader movement directions and for selectable timing intervals (pulse width) from 20mS - 2.54s.
Preliminary Manual RELAY BOX - RB132/GP132 USER’S GUIDE Column names and their functions are as follows: • RELAY: The relay number being addressed. • INIT: The state to which a relay is set when initialized or reset. • TRIGGER: The fader object controlling the relay . • STATE: The “active” position of the relay when triggered by the upward movement of the fader object. • COMMENT: The name of the relay assigned by either the console or the user.
Preliminary Manual RELAY BOX - RB132/GP132 USER’S GUIDE As with MIDI and Fader -Linking screens, the [Enter] key duplicates the currently selected GPI object allowing it to be controlled from multiple faders. Press [F2] to sequence through the available INIT and STATE parameter settings and observe the DSC screen: It is advisable to set the INIT field first and then set the STATE field as the for mer always resets the latter to a default when subsequently accessed again.
