It is not possible to simultaneously specify different types of trigger for the same GPI OUT port. If you attempt to make conflicting settings, the lower part of the screen will indicate "GPI OUT SETUP IN USE WAS STOLEN. " and the previous setting will be lost. Conversely, you may simultaneously specify more than one trigger of the same type, for example by assigning a GPI OUT CONTROL function from more than one GPI IN to the same GPI OUT. In this case, fields 7 and 8 will show ". . . " to indicate that more than one trigger is assigned. However, even if more than one trigger is assigned, only the most recent trigger will be responded to. Using GPI IN Here's how to send a control signal from an external device to GPI IN and remotely control the operation of the PM1D system. Connect a GPI compatible external device or external switch to the GPI connector of the engine or console. · If you are using the PM1D system in Mirror mode, only the GPI IN connector of the currently selected engine can be used. · If you are using the PM1D system in Dual Con- 5. At the left of the FUNCTION field, click the DIRECT ASSIGN button to access the GPI IN SETUP popup window. In the GPI IN SETUP popup window, the INPUT PORT field at the upper left shows the type (CONSOLE/ENGINE) of the currently selected port, and the port number (GPI1­GPI8). sole mode (p. 11), only the GPI connector of the currently-operated console can be used. It is not possible to change the GPI connector settings of the other unit, or to receive control signals from the GPI connector of the other unit. Furthermore, settings for the GPI connector of the engine can be made only from console 1. Details on using this as a destination of Fader Start are given on page 42. 41 PM1D System Software V1. 5 Supplementary Manual Fader Start function PM1D system software V1. 5 provides a Fader Start function that can transmit control signals (GPI / MMC / RS422) to an external device when a specific fader is operated. For example, this is a convenient way by which an external device (such as a GPI-compatible CD player, RS422-compatible video player, or MIDI sequencer) located at a distance can be operated remotely. To use this function, you need to assign the Fader Start function to the desired fader, and select the type of control signal (GPI / MMC / RS422) that you want to transmit. A "Fader Start" trigger will occur when this fader is moved from below ­60 dB to above ­60 dB, and a "Fader End" trigger will occur when the fader is moved back to ­. When these triggers occur, the control signal you selected will be sent to the external device. 10 10 10 30 5 5 5 40 0 0 0 50 60 40 50 60 40 50 60 30 30 10 10 10 5 5 5 0 0 0 5 5 5 10 10 10 20 20 20 5 5 5 10 10 10 20 20 20 30 30 30 Fader end 40 50 60 40 50 60 40 50 60 · If you want to generate a Fader Start trigger when the fader position is already above ­60 dB, move the fader below ­60 dB and then raise it once again. · If CONSOLE 1 or ENGINE is selected as the out- Fader start put destination port, fader start will not work when you operate the fader (or edit the parameter via PC or MIDI) while console 1 is in PREVIEW mode. Similarly, if CONSOLE 2 is selected as the output destination port, fader start will not work while console 2 is in PREVIEW mode. Fader start will not work even if you cancel PREVIEW mode from the above states. · If a PC (PM1D Manager) is connected on-line to the engine by itself, recalling a scene which specifies a fade time will cause Fader Start to operate immediately after the recall, regardless of the fade time setting. 42 Fader Start function FADER START screen A FADER START screen has been added to the MIDI/GPI/TC function, allowing you to make settings for the fader start function. 1 · INPUT CH When this button is on, you can make fader start function assignments for individual input channels and ST IN channels. · UNIT 1-3 ­ UNIT 8-10 When one of these buttons are on, you can make fader start assignments for three input units of consecutive ID numbers. In this case, you can make assignments for the input channels assigned to each port of those units. (If multiple input channels are assigned to one port, the assignment will be valid only for the highest of those channels in the IN PATCH function INPUT PATCH screen. ) · In either case, please be aware that you cannot 1 ASSIGN MODE Selects whether fader start assignments will be made for individual input channels or in groups of units. You can select one of the following buttons. Click one of these buttons to open the FADER START INITIALIZE popup window, where you can initialize the fader start settings. [. . . ] However if [OMNI] is ON, this message will be received regardless of the channel. In the case of MULTI mode, all MIDI channels will be received, and will be divided into banks according to the channel. If [Program Change ECHO] is ON, this message will be echoed. A scene memory or effect library will be recalled according to the settings of the [Program Change Table]. [. . . ]
