Connection Types
Any pins not used for preset control can be allocated for processor control and logic output. The
following table illustrates the available options for those connections. Click on the pull-down menu
indicated by the yellow arrow on the right side of the allocation block to select a controller type.
Pin
Allocation
Description IN/OUT Application
Locking Switch IN
Muting input and output channels. Intended for use with an external
controller that flips between two positions. Can also be used with a
momentary switch, in which case the channel will be muted when the switch
is depressed, and un-muted when it is released.
Momentary Switch IN
Muting input and output channels. Intended for use with an external
momentary switch. Toggles the muting on or off each time the switch is
depressed.
100k Potentiometer IN
Adjusting gain within a range that you define, from –30dB to +30dB
maximum.
Logic Output OUT
Indicating mute status to external devices such as LED's, relays, or binary
logic hardware.
Processor Mapping
Processor mapping is the third and final level of external control. In order for external devices to control System
Processor gain and channel muting, or to recognize mute status, each preset in the device must be mapped to
the control connections. Processor maps are stored with each preset or scene file. Use one of the following
methods to map each preset:
§ Create a template on which to base each preset.
§ Recall each preset from the device and add a processor map.
§ Open each scene file from PC and add a processor map.
Note: Before creating a processor map, you must first configure the control pins.
Creating a Processor Map Template
If you will be storing multiple presets in the device, you can save time mapping processors by creating
a preset or scene file template on which to base the set of presets. This template can contain the
channel names, processor map, and any other general signal flow configuration features appropriate
for each preset stored in that particular device.
To create a preset template that includes a processor map:
1. In Design Mode, name the input and output channels to reflect the particular device.
(Refer to the Labeling Inputs and Outputs section on page 17 for instructions.)
2. Select [Devices>Control Pin Configuration] from the main menu.
3. The Control Pins window opens.
4. Load the appropriate pin configuration using one of the following methods:
§ Select the [Configuration>Open From PC] menu option.
§ If you are connected to the System Processor, select the
[Configuration>Recall From Device] menu option.
4. The input and output channels appear in the processor mapping section of the window underneath
the connection blocks that have been allocated to controllers or logic output.
5. For each allocated connection block, click the processor mapping checkboxes next to the
channels that will be addressed by the connection.
