18.0 Controlling Delay Devices
Connect a TCS 803 or 804 device as a 'spur' from the MIDI THRU
socket of another device on the loop. Do NOT connect anything to
the MIDI OUT sockets of the 803/804 devices.
Since TCS80X devices do not transmit Varicurve style ID responses,
they are not automatically recognised by the FPC900 Varicurve
remote. To make the FPC900 aware of a TCS80X device, and be able
to control it, follow this procedure:
Press the Index button, and choose ‘Select’ on the speedstrip.
Then press the Channel button corresponding to the MIDI channel of
the TCS80x device you wish to connect.
Select Name, and enter either 803 or 804 as the name of the device
(using the Shift key to get the characters written on the panel in boxes
e.g. 1, 2, 3).
NOTE: If the device has expanded memory (denoted by
an ‘E’ appended to the model number during the power-up
sequence), add an E to the name (i.e. 803E or 804E).
Press Index again to leave the Index and then press the Channel key of
the chosen TCS80X channel.
The FPC900 will start controlling any TCS80X device on the current
channel.

Device type
Since the TCS80X devices do not take part in the feedback loop, the
FPC900 cannot know about control changes made on the device
itself. The FPC900 transmits ALL TCS80X device data when the unit is
first assigned in the Index , thus overwriting any control changes
made on the device.
