You should also know that plug-ins can only synchronize from PC to board and are not able to “retrieve” a configuration from the kit.
In other words, make sure your favorite configuration is saved on your PC if you ever decide to change the configuration.
6. Once the configuration checked, the next step is to “Connect & Synchronize” by clicking on the Green button on the top
right. Note that this button is ONLY active in an unconnected mode. Once connected, it will disappear since no more
synchronization will be required from there on.
Providing your board is connected to the PC with a USB cable, the following important dialog box pops up with 4 options:
a) Synchronize: With this option, the current plug-in configuration will be loaded/flashed to the MiniDSP and your plug-in turned to
“On-line” mode. Warning that it will overwrite whatever configuration was previously loaded on the board. If you’d like to load a
different configuration, click cancel and go to the settings tab to load one of your previously saved configurations.
If you previously installed a different firmware version on your kit, this button will display: Synchronize & Upgrade. Meaning, the MiniDSP
kit firmware will be upgraded to the current plug-in firmware along with the current settings you have.
b) Restore to Default: With this option, the software application resets all settings back to factory default and reload the firmware.
Warning that all current settings will be lost and there are no ways to be able to recover them.
In either synchronization steps, the following dialog box will pop-up. It’s very important that you do not un-plug the board in the
middle of a firmware upgrades or you may corrupt the configuration.
Once the board fully synchronized, a “Successful connection to the board” message pops up. From this point on, all changes to the
configuration will be real time and live, therefore giving you the chance to hear the effect of your equalization, filtering, tuning…
Let’s move on to the architecture of the software to understand how to setup your system.
