Bricasti Design M10 Remote Control - Manual (Page 10)

Operating the M10
Setup Key:
Most of the functions of the M10 are the display and control of a selected M7. The setup key is unique to
the M10 and used for controlling parameters and saving system setups in the M10. .
Saving-Recalling Multi-Machine Setups in the M10:
Yo u can quickly store the overall configuration of a multi-machine set ups using the quick save keys on the
M10, saving complete multi-machine setups in the M10s memory. This works the same as on the M7 for
saving and recalling favorites but in this case the memory is in the M10 not the M7s.
Press SETUP, then press and hold one of the 1-4 keys to store. The complete system setup of up to
8 machines and all the settings of every M7 will be saved for later recall. To recall press SETUP,
and select “Favorites”, press one of the 1-4 keys momentarily and it will recall all M7s to their
saved state. This recall includes the last running preset, and all system settings for each machine.
M10 Display Illumination level:
Press SETUP, then SYSTEM and the lower right display will show the text DIM. Use the wheel to
adjust, press ENTER to set. This sets illumination intensity of the main text displays on the M10
in 7 steps.
Machine Configuration: (this is only active when 5 or 6 M7s are connected)
Press SETUP, then SYSTEM and press the cursor down to find “Disp”, use the wheel to select
linear LN or split SP, press enter to set .As described in detail in the previous section, this selects
the arrangement of machines to the upper or lower bank for easy access in surround applications
when 5 or 6 machines are connected.
Precautions to take when saving system setups:
Most users will more than likely connect the M10 to their M7s, complete the installation and
rarely change things. But there is the possibility to move machines around and then reconnect
them in different ways as and some users may have multi-rooms with patching facilities for re-
configuring the M10-M7 setup for different projects etc. In this case, there are some precautions
that should be considered when using this feature.
How it Works
:
When the M10 stores setups, it simply saves the overall state of each machine in its memory. This
is the complete overall state that each unit is in and is the same as when the unit is powered off.
The M10 only knows how many M7s are physically connected, but since there is no ID unique to
each M7, the M10 does not know one M7 from another and sees them as a list of one after
another, so when saving and recalling setups, it will just reinstate the information to each machine
in the list. What this does not take into account for is if you re-patch the order of your M7s to a
different sequence. If you do this, you should re-connect them in the same order to insure the
M10 can reload all presets and parameters correctly. If this procedure is not adhered to, miss
labeling will occur when the M10 tries to reload settings from user registers that do not exist in the
repositioned M7.
How to Minimize Possible Problems :
If you are a user who will be moving M7s around for different jobs and locations etc., the best way
to minimize the chance of this occurring is either to be sure place each M7 in “program” mode not
in a user register or favorite when saving a setup or better is to be sure to reconnect them in the
same order they were last used.. This will eliminate any chance for this situation to occur.
