16. STL (SOUND TO LIGHT) and SyncoBEAT
16.1 OVERVIEW
The DOMINO has two identical STL (Sound to Light) processors called “stl 1” and “stl 2”.
Each STL produces output pulses that can be “connected” to any submaster containing a
chaser. When a STL is connected to a chaser, it will trigger a chaser step whenever there is
a pulse on the STL output.
Each STL has two modes of operation;
• Sound to Light mode. The STL pulses are generated by the beat of the music
connected to the audio input of the maXim.
• SyncoBEAT mode. The STL pulses are generated from a beat pattern that you teach.
Each STL may be connected to any number of chasers.
Both STL’s may be connected to the same chaser to give dual stepping control.
The “Beat” indicator on the video display always shows the stepping of the STL output
pulses.
16.2 CONNECT STL TO CHASER
An STL must be “connected” to a chaser to enable it to control the chaser stepping. There
are 2 ways to connect the output of a STL to a chaser.
16.2.1 CONNECT TO SUBMASTER
This method temporarily connects the STL to the selected Submaster. The recorded chaser
is not changed, only the way that it is currently being played back.
HOLD [function], tap [f/a] (stl 1) or (stl 2).
HOLD [function], until the display reads “Pick”.
Whilst still holding [function], tap [f/a] of the submaster(s) to be connected.
• Submaster already connected to STL’s flash continuously.
• Submasters NOT connected to STL’s flash, then pause, then flash again etc.
If a submaster is already connected, tapping its [f/a] disconnects it.
Press [edit] to finish.
The submaster remains connected to the STL until the chaser is replaced on that submaster
by either changing pages or changing the mode.
16.2.2 CONNECT TO CHASER.
To permanently connect a STL to a chaser, whilst recording or editing a chaser, repeated
presses of the [function] button will toggle the display between the STEP number, the
SPEED and the CROSSFADE.
When the STEP number is displayed;
HOLD [function],tap either [stl 1] or [stl 2] (which are flashing).
To connect the STL press [yes].
If the STL is already connected, pressing [yes] disconnects it.
Finish recording or editing the chaser as described in the “CHASERS” section.
The chaser remains connected to the STL unless it is “edited” to remove the connection.
