User manual SYNQ AUDIO RESEARCH SCENE MASTER V1.0

[. . . ] This symbol means: indoor use only This symbol means: Read instructions This symbol means: Safety Class III appliance The device is suitable for mounting on standard flammable surfaces. Standard flammable surfaces include building materials such as wood and wood-based materials more than 2mm thick. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding temperatures when bringing it into a warm room after transport. [. . . ] If several units are connected in master/slave, the master fader of unit1 (master unit) is used to control the output of all units together. Remark1: in both working modes MIDI data (000-127) is sent through the USB-output (10) Remark2: this fader is also used to set the desired MIDI channel, see chapter "HOW TO USE" 8. PROGRAM BUTTON: used to program a scene under one of the CHANNEL faders. While pressed together with the SCENE/MANUAL button (4), you can set the controller in PROGRAM mode. For more information on using the PROGRAM button, see chapter "HOW TO USE". While used in MIDI RECEIVE mode, you can press this button for 2 seconds to reset all scenes (set all scenes to zero). In this way you can: control MIDIapplications, let other MIDI-applications control the Scenemaster or upgrade the firmware of the Scenemaster. LINK CONNECTORS: two RJ45 connectors used to link several Scenemasters together to obtain one virtual controller with more channels and scenes. The last working status is preserved, last active scenes will start automatically when you switch the Scenemaster back on. To obtain more DMX-channels, just link several controllers together (see below). sIMPLE MIDI-CONNECTION Simply connect the USB-output of the controller to a PC. don't forget to set the controller to one of the 16 available MIDI-channels. See chapter "HOW TO USE" to learn more about using MIDI on the Scenemaster. To obtain more channels, just link several controllers together (see below). LINKING SEVERAL UNITS TOGETHER If 16 channels and/or scenes is not enough for your application, don't worry: you can link several units together. The drawing shows the maximum of 4 units but you can also use the following combinations: 2 units: 1master + 1slave = 32 scenes + channels. Linking the units is very easy: just use standard RJ-45 cat5 patch cables as used in Ethernet computer networks. (we also supply these cables: 0, 5m = order code 5151 or 1, 5m = order code 5152). Switch the controllers on: the controllers will link automatically, on the left of each display you will see the "unit ID"-number. Important remark: the controls numbered 4 to 9 on the front panel drawing can ONLY be used on the master unit, on the slaves these controls are NOT used!USE IN MANUAL MODE The simplest way to use the Scenemaster: Press the SCENE/MANUAL button (4) to switch the controller to manual mode. Use the CHANNEL faders (1) and FLASH buttons (2) to create the desired output.
