4. FUNCTIONS IN DETAIL
Once the Adjust/Store button is lighted, you are committed to a new store. You can use
the ADJUST dial to change the displayed number to what is wanted. Pressing the Adjust/
Store button again commits the displayed number into effect. The button will then go
dark telling you the adjust and store sequence is completed and no further changes can
be made without re-starting the sequence.
How To Escape From A Commitment
There are two ways to escape if you are into a commitment but you really don’t want to
change anything.
1. Don’t change the displayed number, or if you did, put it back to it’s old value and
press Adjust/Store again. The old value will be re-committed, which is like doing
nothing.
2. Press the Mode button. This will act like an “Escape” button and dump out of the
adjust and store sequence without committing any changes you may have made to
the number displayed.
CAUTION: Pressing any button other than Mode in the Control Block will act as a
STORE command, just as if you pressed the Adjust/Store button a second time.
Mode
This selects which port handles remote control communications for the 1788A: MIDI or
LAN. No matter whether you are using the MIDI or the LAN port for remote control, you
must first put the Mode into MIDI in order to be able to change the Set I.D. parameters.
Once the Set I.D. parameters have been stored, you can change the Mode back to LAN if
appropriate.
Set I.D.
This button steps through the three key unit identification parameters of Channel, Device
and Net numbers. The presently in effect values will appear in the Global Status Readout.
How To Change The Channel, Device, and Net Numbers
When you need to set or change these values, you must go through the Adjust/Store
procedure as follows.
1. Press Local Control. The button will light up indicating you now have local control
of the 1788A’s front panel.
2. Set the Mode to MIDI.
3. Toggle the Set I.D. button to Channel, Device or Net - whichever is due to be
updated.
4. Press Adjust/Store. It will light up.
5. Spin the ADJUST dial to set the correct number in the General Status Readout.
Select other I.D.’s as desired and adjust their values.
6. When the desired numbers are updated, press Adjust/Store again to store the
update. The Adjust/Store button will go off indicating the values were stored and
you’re back in safe mode.
7. Put the 1788A into the correct remote interface port by using the Mode button.
8. Press Local to return the unit to remote control state.
