2. USING MIDI
The software remote can handle communications with all 1788A’s in the constellation
directly. Even when one or more 1788A-R’s are detected, the software directly transmits
control to all 1788A’s. It also communicates with all 1788A-R’s to keep them synchronized.
This harmony improves remote control reliability and the speed of propagating a preset
change or saving a project to hardware (the 1788A-R’s 60 bin snapshot memory).
1.8 WRAP-UP
R/C of a single 1788A or a large constellation can be as simple or as sophisticated as you
may want. Great flexibility is given in the extent and division of R/C positions. Preamps and
R/C positions can be physically spaced over an Ethernet LAN. PC or Mac software giving
total constellation access and control can be placed at one R/C position. Hardware-based
dedicated controllers have bank controlling ability but not necessarily constellation access.
Up to eight hardware controllers can coexist with one software controller. Up to 60 presets
are hardware and software supported. Bank data for up to 60 presets is stored in the
1788A-R’s for maximum flexibility. File storage of constellation snapshots is supported by
software. Software projects can created and file-saved containing an entire database of
all defined groups, preamp labels, preset labels, and channel labels to the depth of all 60
potential preset definitions. Aphex makes you happy.
