Setting up eMotion LV1 All devices should be properly connected and powered on. Software, plugins, and licensees should be installed. Launch LV1 and open the Setup window. Go to the System Inventory page. Start Auto-Configure. This function locates the computer’s Ethernet port that’s connected to the SoundGrid network, discovers and assigns devices, and then patches audio. If Auto-Configure cannot locate the correct port, use the Port drop-down menu to assign it manually. Then re-run Auto-Configure.
