Interface Modes
The Interface features two primary modes of operation: Design Mode and Live Mode. This provides you with the
option of creating configurations for the System Processor regardless of whether or not the computer is connected to
the device. There are certain functions that are specific to each mode, which are explained throughout the manual.
Design Mode
When you launch the application, you always begin in Design Mode. This is the mode you use to
create presets that are later stored in the System Processor. In this mode, it is not necessary for the
computer to be connected to the device. You can save the signal flow configurations you create to
scene files on the computer, which may later be recalled and sent to the device through the RS-232
connection. This provides you with the capability to design presets in a location other than where the
equipment is installed. Scene files are analogous to presets in every aspect, except that they are
stored on the computer rather than in the device.
Live Mode
This mode allows you to make real-time adjustments to hardware presets while the computer is
connected to the System Processor. This provides you with the means to instantly hear changes to
signal processing as you alter settings, so you can easily refine your presets on site. Everything you do
in Live Mode is written directly to the current live preset.
Preview Mode
When working in Live Mode with a device that contains multiple presets, you may recall them
individually for real-time modification. When you select a preset to load into the signal flow diagram,
the window enters preview mode to give you the opportunity to verify your selection before you
designate it as the next live preset. The interface returns to Live Mode when you load the preset, or
cancel the operation.
