16. DISPLAY CONTRAST AND FIRMWARE INFORMATION
To adjust the contrast of the LCD display of the BURN according to your preferred viewing angle, go to the page DISPLAY
CONTRAST and choose a value between 0 and 64. The default value is 32 and corresponds to an angle of about 80° with
respect to the display.

FIRMWARE VERSION
v1.01 28-10-2013
The firmware of the BURN is upgradeable via MIDI by means of a simple utility made available by GSi for Windows and
OSX. Consult the site www.GenuineSoundware.com from time to time to verify the availability of a new update.
17. REMOTE CONTROL
The REMOTE jack on the rear panel of the BURN can accept a variety of optional accessories for remotely controlling the
speeds of the Rotary effects or for the control of the Parameter 3 of other effects. This jack is connected to an
analog/digital converter located inside the central microprocessor of the BURN and you can connect a two or three
position switch of type "half-moon", as those generally used for the vintage rotating speakers, or you can connect a
footswitch with one or two buttons, or an expression pedal with linear potentiometer of 10 Kohm.
The picture on the right shows the terminals respectively connected to the tip (Vcc), ring
(ADC) and the sleeve (Ground) of the jack. Between tip and ring there is a voltage of
about 3.3 Volts. Be careful to never cause a short circuit between these two terminals.
The ring of the jack is to be considered as the common contact for switching. It is
preferable to use the switches of type "break before make".
When the REMOTE jack is connected to an accessory used to switch between the SLOW,
FAST and STOP speeds of a Rotary effect, the commutations are also subject to the setting of the page [MIDI] SPEED
TYP, and may occur in two different ways depending on whether this is of type Temporary or Latched. For more clarity,
refer to the following table.
SPEED TYPE = Temporary SPEED TYPE = Latched
SLOW = RING + SLEEVE RING + TIP switches between SLOW and FAST
STOP = RING isolated RING + SLEEVE switches between STOP and RUN
FAST = RING + TIP -
This means that, in case you are connecting a pedal with two buttons, it is possible to use either "mechanically latched"
or "temporary" buttons. Once the connections are made correctly, you just have to set your choice on the [MIDI] SPEED
TYP. For example, if using temporary buttons, you must choose "Latched", and
vice versa.
If you are connecting an expression pedal to the REMOTE jack, you have to
make sure that it has a linear potentiometer of 10 Kohm, and that the
connection is made according to the diagram on the side, and precisely the two
ends of the resistive track must be connected to the sleeve and to the tip of the
jack, and the wiper must be connected to the ring of the jack.
When a Rotary effect is in use and an expression pedal is connected to the
REMOTE jack, the speeds correspond to the following positions: pedal down= SLOW, pedal up = FAST, pedal in middle
position = STOP.
