8.3 Brief description of the menu entries, Function MADI Bridge Matrix
File – New MIDI Remote Window
The program MIDI Remote is capable of multi-client operation. There is no limit in opening win-
dows and thus controlling as many units at the same time as desired.
File – Open and Save Setup
All settings can be stored in and loaded from a file. This is especially useful to quickly load dif-
ferent routings, or to access different units with different IDs.
File – Load and Save Workspace
The settings and the position of multiple opened windows can be saved and loaded from a
workspace file. In contrary to the settings file, the used MIDI ports are also stored and loaded.
Function
At this time, the MIDI Remote includes eleven operation windows.
Options – Start / Stop MIDI I/O
Start / Stop of the MIDI communication. In the upper part of the window the current state is
shown, like selected ID, Online / No Response / Offline.
Options – Send Single Set of Data
In Offline mode the program can be used to just send a single set of commands. With this, a
change of the configuration can be performed at a specific moment. Additionally the load on the
MIDI line is reduced, as no ongoing communication is taking place.
Options – Select Device (F2)
Opens a dialog box to select a device ID. Choosing 'All', the current device ID of the unit is ig-
nored. The setting 'All' is not allowed when using more than one MADI Bridge.
Options – MIDI I/O Setup (F3)
Opens a settings dialog to configure the MIDI input and output port. This setting can be different
for different windows (views).
Options – Function Select (F4)
Opens a settings dialog to select the current function. At this time, the MIDI Remote includes
three functions: a front panel view of the ADI-648, a matrix view of the ADI-648, and a matrix
view of the MADI Bridge.
Options – Edit Device Names
Opens a settings dialog to assign a name to each device ID.
Options – Set I/O names to default
Double click on the name fields in the matrix to type in any desired name. This option sets all
fields back to the factory names.
Options – Ignore Position on Setup Load
With this option active, the window position stored in a setup file is not used when loading the
setup. So the current window position will not change.
Options – Program Device ID
Opens a settings dialog to program a device ID into the MADI Bridge. Note: programming is fast
and not confirmed. Attention: Programming is only possible when not more than one MADI
Bridge is connected via MIDI!
