PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual This supplementary manual explains the functionality that has been added or changed in PM1D system software V1.6. Please use this manual in conjunction with the existing manuals. * In cases where the console (CS1D) display differs from the screen of the PM1D Manager application program, explanations that apply only to the PM1D Manager are distinguished by an indication of [PM1D Manager]. Additions and changes in V1.
Improvements to functions that were added in V1.5 Improvements to functions that were added in V1.5 The following improvements have been made to the new functions that were added in V1.5. Panel Assign in the ST IN block In V1.5, a PANEL ASSIGN screen was added to the UTILITY function, allowing the combination of input channels and ST IN channels reflected in the panel to be specified for each individual block.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual However for ST IN channels, the combinations that could be assigned to the panel were limited to the following four possibilities. •The four combinations that were possible in V1.5 ST IN block 2 ST IN block 2 ST IN block 2 ST IN block 2 3 4 1 2 7 8 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ST IN block 1 ST IN block 1 ST IN block 1 ST IN block 1 This limitation has been removed in V1.6.
Improvements to functions that were added in V1.5 Panel display of the unit name In V1.5, the UNIT NAME screen added to the SYS/W.CLOCK function allowed you to assign a name to each port of each input/output unit or card. In addition, if you turned on the UNIT NAME button in the NAME MODE area at the bottom of the screen, the name of the port assigned to that channel would be displayed instead of the short name of the input channel shown in the screen. In V1.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual Channel name area added to the EQ CH and LCR screens An area that displays the channel name of each channel has been added to the EQ CH screens (CH 1-24, CH 25-48, CH 49-72, CH 73-96, ST IN 1-8) of the IN EQ function and to the LCR screen of the PAN/ROUTING function. Channel name area If the CH NAME button located in the NAME MODE area at the bottom of the display is turned on, this area will show the short name of the corresponding channel.
DCA Auto Naming function DCA Auto Naming function Normally, the DCA [NAME] indicator in the DCA GROUP block will display the name assigned to each DCA group. DCA name In V1.6, the channel names of the last-assigned two channels can also be displayed in the DCA [NAME] indicator. (This is called the “DCA auto naming function.”) DCA auto naming procedure The auto naming procedure is as follows. 1. Access the IN PATCH/OUT PATCH function NAME screen.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual 2. In the LIST SELECT area (1), move the cursor to the DCA button and press the [ENTER] switch. The name list (2) will show a list of the long names (eight characters) assigned to each DCA group. The Auto Naming function is now enabled for the corresponding DCA group. At this time, the DCA [NAME] indicator will go dark if a channel has not been assigned to the corresponding DCA group. 6. As necessary, perform the same operation for other DCA groups. 7.
Input Channel Auto Naming function Input Channel Auto Naming function As explained earlier, V1.5 added the capability of displaying the channel name or port name in the INPUT [NAME] indicator of the INPUT block. However if necessary, it is also possible to specify that the patched port name be always displayed as the input channel name for only a specific input channel. This is referred to as the “Input channel auto naming function.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual Hint • If a PS/2 keyboard is connected to the CS1D, you can also type Ctrl + U to input the highlighted “U” character. (As a shortcut, you can hold down the Ctrl key and type the first character of the button name in the character palette.) • When you input the highlighted “U,” no further characters can be input into the text box. Also, any previously-input characters will be deleted. • To delete the highlighted “U,” click the CLEAR button. 5.
Pan Nominal Position Pan Nominal Position Normally if a signal sent from an input channel to the stereo bus is panned to the far-left or far-right position, the level will increase by +3 dB compared to when the signal is panned to the center. This is done so that a constant volume (energy) will be output whether the signal is mono or stereo; however when inputting a stereo source such as a synthesizer or CD player, you may consider this an inconvenience. Thus, V1.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual DCA Unity When cue-monitoring a DCA group, it is now possible to always monitor the unity-level signal. In previous versions, even when you pressed the DCA [CUE] switch, you could not monitor the signal of a DCA group whose DCA fader was lowered or whose DCA [MUTE] switch was on. However in V1.6, you have the option of always monitoring the DCA group at unity level (the level equivalent to setting the DCA fader at 0 dB).
Scene Link Event Scene Link Event You can now cause a string of MIDI events to be output from the desired MIDI OUT connector when a specific scene is recalled. (This is called the “Scene Link Event” function.) By using this function to pre-program MIDI events for each scene, you can modify the internal settings of an external device when that scene is recalled, or automatically start the transport of an external device. Scene Link Event procedure Here’s how to program MIDI events for each scene. 1.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual 4. Click the COMMENT/MIDI EVENT field to select it. The EVENT CODE SET button will appear at the lower left of the character palette. COMMENT/MIDI EVENT field 5. Click the EVENT CODE SET button. The characters in the COMMENT/MIDI EVENT field will be erased, and a highlighted “M” character will be input in their place. Also, the characters in the character palette will be grayed-out except for 1, 2, and E, and will be unavailable for input.
Scene Link Event • It is possible to input two or more messages, as long as the total stays within 32 bytes. However you should be aware that, depending on the type of message, the receiving device may not be able to process MIDI events received in immediate succession. • If you input more than 32 bytes, a warning of “LENGTH OVER!” will be displayed, and you will not be able to press the STORE button. Delete characters until the warning is no longer displayed.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual Selective Recall In V1.6 you can restrict the parameters/channels that will be recalled when a specific scene is recalled, or conversely specify parameters/channels that will be excluded from the recall operation for a specific scene. (This function is called “Selective Recall.”) In previous versions, you could use a function called Recall Safe to select channels/parameters that would be excluded from recall operations.
Selective Recall Hint Each time you switch between the RECALL PARAMETER button and the SAFE PARAMETER button, the settings in the screen will be initialized as follows. • When you switch to the RECALL PARAMETER button, all channels will be set to RECALL ON/ OFF button = On and RECALL PARAMETER SELECT = ALL. • When you switch to the SAFE PARAMETER button, all channels will be set to SAFE ON/OFF button = Off and SAFE PARAMETER SELECT = ALL.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual • If SAFE PARAMETER is on These buttons select the parameters that will be excluded from recall operations. The parameters that can be selected are the same as in the SCENE function RECALL SAFE screen, with the exception that there is no MUTE MASTER (on/ off for all mute groups).
Extended functionality for Recall Safe Extended functionality for Recall Safe The Recall Safe function of prior versions has been extended as follows. Recall Safe is now possible for compressor and gate Compressor and gate have been added to the parameters for which you can make Recall Safe settings. Accordingly, the SCENE function RECALL SAFE screen has been redesigned as follows.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual Clear Library A CLEAR button has been added to each library screen, allowing you to erase a library as desired. CLEAR button In previous versions, a library that was once stored could not be erased except by overwriting onto it. However in V1.6, you can select a library in the list that you want to erase, and then click the CLEAR button to erase the library, returning it to a blank state.
Extended functionality for the attenuators Extended functionality for the attenuators The functionality of the input channel attenuators has been expanded to allow cut/boost in a range of –96 to +24 dB. In previous versions, leaving a large margin in the analog domain for an input channel sometimes caused a situation in which sufficient input level could not be obtained even with the fader raised all the way. In V1.6, this problem has been addressed by providing up to +24 dB of boost in the digital domain.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual Global Channel Copy Now you can choose desired parameters from the currently selected channel, and copy them to multiple channels of the same type in a single operation. This function is called “Global Channel Copy.” CH COPY screen To allow you to use the Global Channel Copy function, a CH COPY screen has been added to the IN CH VIEW function and to the OUT CH VIEW function.
Global Channel Copy 1 SEL (select the copy-source channel) Selects the copy-source channel. The procedure is the same as for the identically-named button in CH VIEW. 2 Channel number/name Displays the number and short name (or unit name) of the copy-source channel. 3 Pair setting Indicates the pairing status of the channel that is selected as the copy-source. You can also click this button to enable/disable pairing.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual • OUT CH VIEW function CH COPY screen • WITHOUT MIX SEND button If this button is on, the send level of signals sent from each input channel to the corresponding MIX bus will not be copied. • WITH MIX SEND button If this button is on, the send level of signals sent from each input channel to the corresponding MIX bus will be copied as well.
Input Meter Bridge Input Meter Bridge The meter bridge can now display the levels of input channels and ST IN channels. The display can be switched from within the screen or from the panel. A METER BRIDGE area has been added to all screens of the METER function, allowing you to switch the meter bridge display. (However, the MIX 1-48 screen and MATRIX 1-24/ST/MONITOR screen do not show the FIXED CH button and FOLLOW PANEL button explained below.
PM1D System Software V1.6 Supplementary Manual In the CH 1-48/STIN 1-4 screen or the CH 49-96/STIN 5-8 screen, use the buttons of the METER BRIDGE area to select the mode by which the meter bridge will display the input channel levels. You can choose FIXED CH mode or FOLLOW PANEL mode. The display in the METER BRIDGE area and the operation of the meter bridge will change as follows, according to the mode you choose. PM1D Manager is not able to display input channel levels in the meter bridge.
