Crestron Adagio™ AADS Audio Distribution System
download Adagio Composer from the Crestron website and examine the extensive
help file.
To create more advanced systems that include non-audio distribution devices such as
lighting and HVAC, use Crestron SystemBuilder or SIMPL Windows.
Programming with Crestron SystemBuilder
Crestron SystemBuilder is the easiest method of programming, but does not offer as
much flexibility as SIMPL Windows. For additional details, download
SystemBuilder from the Crestron website and examine the extensive help file.
Any program created for the AADS with SystemBuilder will include the out-of-the-
box functionality in addition to any additional programming created with
SystemBuilder.
Programming with SIMPL Windows
NOTE: While SIMPL Windows can be used to program the AADS, it is
recommended to use Adagio Composer or SystemBuilder for configuring a system.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s premier software for programming Crestron control
systems. It is organized into two separate, but equally important “Managers”.
Any SIMPL Windows program written for an AADS will contain all of the AADS’
out-of-the-box functions in a protected area of the program. The parts of the program
that contain the out-of-the-box functions are locked and cannot be changed or
deleted. When a program is compiled, the custom program plus the out-of-the-box
program’s logic, default front panel operation, and control device (APAD or keypad)
logic are loaded.
NOTE: When programming an AADS in SIMPL Windows, always begin with the
example program as a program and modify as required. To find example programs,
refer to “Example Program” on page 56. Also visit Crestron’s True Blue Support on
the web for more programming tips.

system by selecting hardware from the Device Library.
• To incorporate the AADS into the system, drag the AADS from the Control
Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the System Views.
