Bricasti Design M10 Remote Control - Manual (Page 9)

Operating the M10
Power up:
Once your system is wired and the M7s are connected to the M10, there is no special sequence to powering
up the “slave” M7 units. They can be powered on in any sequence and the M10 will start up when the first
M7 in the chain is powered on. The power on/off memory is in each M7, so each M7 will remember its
last state, and will reinstate itself to its last state when power is cycled.
Selecting Machines:
Each M7 that is connected is considered a machine. Machines are selected to be controlled and displayed
by using the machine select key labeled “MACH” on the M10. The M10 sees the M7s as they are
physically connected together; the first M7 that the M10 is connected to as machine 1, the second machine
in the chain as 2 and so on up to 8. Since you can have between 1 and 8 M7s connected to the M10, there a
few ways of selecting machines depending on how many are connected:
1. With one M7 connected to the M10 operation is quite simple; since there is no alternate
machine to select pressing the MACH key has no function.
2. With two M7s connected to the M10 pressing the MACH key will toggle between the two.
Just press the key once and the M10 will switch from one to the other. The selected machine
meter text will be highlighted and the machine number on the lower right text display.
3. With 3 or 4 M7s connected the machine key is used in conjunction with the keys labeled 1-4
(favorite keys in Program mode). Press MACH and then the #1 key and this will select
machine #1. Press MACH and 4 and select machine 4. You now have direct access to any
machine without having to step though machines.
4. With 5 to 8 M7s connected, the M7s are arranged in banks, an upper bank for machines 1-4
and a lower bank for machines 5-8. To change banks, press MACH, and then the up or down
keys to change the bank. Once you have changed banks the meter legends below the meter
stacks will change to show which bank you have selected. Selecting machines within a bank
is the same as example #3 and you will remain in that bank until you change banks.
Arranging Machines on Banks:
When using 5 or 6 M7s, machines can be arranged for convenience of access in groups on the same bank.
This is useful when using multiple M7s in multi-channel setups. This parameter is located under the setup
menu in the M10 and is only takes effect when 5 or 6 M7s are connected. Press SETUP and chose the
alternate configuration you need, press enter to set.
Linear mode:
The default configuration: Machines 1 to 4 on the upper bank and machine 5-8 on the lower in
linear order.
Split mode
:
With 5 machines connected selecting the split configuration will place machines 1-3 on the upper
bank and 4-5 on the lower bank. With 6 machines selecting the split configuration will place
machines 1-3 on the upper bank and 4-6 on the lower bank.
