7.2 PC Mode operation and usage
You have installed NUO5 drivers and edi:lab software, you can now start designing
your own effect setup …
Every time you want to open the edi:lab software you have to set FIRST the NUO5
mixer in “PC Mode”. As previously explained, the NUO5 “PC-Mode” is set pushing
the PARAMETER control of the mixer during 5 seconds until you see “PC” on the
led display. Once the NUO5 mixer is in “PC MODE”, connect the mixer to the PC
using the USB cable, and then open the edi:lab software on your PC (Desk Icon).
The internal mixer effects can be reprogrammed in real-time with the edi:lab
software. The software remotely modificates the programs of the NUO5 processors so that the sound result can be
heard directly on the NUO5 mixer, as if the console were used normally. In “PC Mode” the EFFECT, TIME and
PARAMETER encoders of the mixer are disabled (controllable now through edi:lab software). In «PC Mode» the
NUO5 mixer can be used normally including the FX CUE function, FX INPUT level potentiometer and the
DRY-WET crossfader. This allows to open and close the edi:lab software while “live” performing the NUO5 mixer.
The edi:lab control window opens the effect selected on the NUO5 mixer just before going into “PC Mode” (L.F.O.
Filter by default).
If the edi:lab software is closed on the PC, the NUO5 mixer automatically passes from “PC Mode” to normal mode.
7.2.1 Software start up and communication check:
When you open the edi:lab software, a pop-up will always remind you to set the NUO5 mixer in “PC Mode”. To set
the mixer in “PC Mode”, press the TAP button (PARAMETER knob) for 5 seconds until the led display shows “PC”.
Only one NUO5 mixer can be connected at the same time to the edi:lab.
Under “PC Mode”, the digital effect selections and adjustments (TIME and PARAMETER knobs) are disabled on
the mixer and transferred to the computer control.
If you do not want to enter the edi:lab in “PC Mode”, you can select “Demo Mode” and open the software
“stand-alone”, without any communication with the mixer.
To exit the “PC Mode”, close the edi:lab software (Edition->Exit) from the computer. In case of computer problem,
you can exit the “PC Mode” pressing the mixer TAP button for 5 seconds. Leaving the “PC Mode” from the mixer
can create some unpredictable software behaviours certain Windows Operating Systems, this is why we
recommend to exit the “PC Mode” always from the software itself, exiting the edi:lab.
It is not recommended to unplug the USB while running the edi:lab.
NOTE: Only a mixer can be connected at same time.
