9.4 AUDIO INPUT
The MINIM is fitted with a RCA (phono) type socket to accept an audio signal. The audio signal
should have a nominal level of 1 volt RMS (line level). The audio signal can be used to trigger the
stepping of a Chase (or chases) by selecting the BASS STEP function.
An AUDIO LEVEL rotary fader is used to adjust the sensitivity of the audio signal input. If the bass
signal from the music is weak, then the AUDIO LEVEL will need to be increased to activate the
Chase stepping.
To activate the Audio Input to a Chase:
Press and hold [MEMORY] until the EDIT LED is lit.
Select the Chase to edit, press [F/A] (Chase number). hold [function] tap [F/A] (bass).
Tapping
[F/A]
(bass) will toggle the bass on or off.
.
Exit EDIT by pressing and holding [MEMORY] button until RUN LED is lit.
The Chase is now controlled by the Audio Input. Fade up the Red Playback containing the Chase
and also the Red Preset Master. Adjust the [audio level] rotary fader until the Chase begins to
step. If the CROSSFADE rotary fader is set at 0 (zero), each Chase step will snap (instantly switch)
from step to step. If you require a “smoother” fade from step to step, then adjust the crossfade rate
by rotating the
[crossfade]
rotary fader.
To adjust the audio level turn the Audio Level control until the LED is flashing in sync with the music
source. If the LED is continuously lit then the audio level is too loud, turn down the rotary fader until
the LED flashes regularly.
9.5 EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT
The rear panel has a ¼” mono jack (EXT TRIG) for connecting contact closure type devices (such
as a footswitch) to remotely advance the steps of a Chase.
Note: The switching device must NOT output any voltage otherwise the MINIM console will
be damaged.
To activate the External Trigger Input to a Chase:
Press and hold
[MEMORY]
button until EDIT LED is lit.
Select the Chase to edit, press [F/A] (Chase number). hold [function] tap [F/A] (extern).
Tapping [F/A] (extern) will toggle the external on or off.
Exit EDIT by pressing and hold [MEMORY] button until RUN LED is lit.
The Chase is now controlled by the External Trigger Input. Fade up the Red Playback containing
the Chase and also the Red Preset Master. If the CROSSFADE rotary fader is set at 0 (zero), each
Chase step will snap (instantly switch) from step to step. If you require a “smoother” fade from step
to step, then adjust the crossfade rate by rotating the
[crossfade]
rotary fader.
Note: While a Chase with an Audio Input or External Trigger Input is running, it is still
possible to concurrently run other stored Scenes and Chases on the Red Playbacks and
Grab Master.
