Heritage 1000 Library Manager Software
The Heritage 1000 library manager software is one of the Add-
Ins available for the Midas and Klark Teknik ELGAR software
shell. This award winning piece of software enables engineers to
create scene settings on a PC which can then be uploaded to
the Heritage 1000 as well as edit scene data downloaded from
the console. As a result much of the console programming can
be done offline in advance of the show, leaving more time for
fine tuning during rehearsals which can then be downloaded to
the PC to keep the settings in the show file current.
The library manager can be used online during a performance
to provide a visual overview of the consoles settings. For
example when snapshot scenes are recalled by the console the
library manager automatically updates the PC.
Library manager can edit offline the following functions:
Mute states for input, output and group channels
Fader levels for the VCA groups with variable crossfade speeds
VCA and Audio subgroups assignments
Automute and Auxiliary group assignments
MIDI commands
As a result the Heritage 1000, with its small footprint and
powerful automation system, coupled with the Library Manager
software provides an extremely effective creative tool for a
number of applications but in particular theatrical productions.
Midas and Klark Teknik ELGAR Framework
ELGAR is a software shell for a PC that allows Midas and Klark
Teknik product control software, called Add-Ins, to operate.
ELGAR allows data from individual units, for example a number
of Helix units and a Midas Heritage 1000, via the relevant Add-
In to be stored within one show file on your PC. You can
therefore have your entire show with you on your laptop,
allowing you to fine tune settings in your hotel room and then
just upload it later at the venue. ELGAR will also ensure that the
correct Add-In will only communicate with the correct piece of
hardware – in other words it will make certain that a Helix
Remote Control Add-In will only talk to the Helix unit and not
the Heritage 1000.

Klark Teknik Show Command is a unique integrated system of
hardware, software and Ethernet technology, which provides full
control of loudspeaker system equalisation, management and
routing from a choice of user-interfaces. The new DN9331
RAPIDE has been developed for show time control of graphic EQ
functions, while a Wi-Fi tablet PC, in conjunction with ELGAR
software allows for wireless freedom around a stage or venue
during set-up and sound check. Show Command also has the
additional benefit of a serial communication interface to Midas
STS equipped consoles, providing the best possible combination
of instant-access fingertip control and wireless freedom.
When Show Command is linked to Midas consoles in the
Heritage, Legend and Siena range or the XL8, the STS or Solo
Tracking System can be used. This means that when any solo
key is pressed on the console, the EQ for that input or output
(outputs only on Siena) is instantly shown on the Helix
DN9340E Dual EQ or a wired wireless PC, ready for immediate
control. Once displayed on your chosen user interface you
naturally have complete access to all the Helix EQ functions
allocated to that input or output. The graphic EQ portion of
Helix will also be displayed on the DN9331 RAPIDE graphic
controller if connected into the system.
A RS-232 connection is supplied on the rear panel of the Helix
DN9331 and DN9340E for this purpose and up to 64 channels
of Helix can be connected using standard CAT5 cables.
