SECTION 3 – CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONS
The Configuring section of the DriveRack 260 will be your key to successful navigation of the configuration functions
of the DriveRack. The following information provides, descriptions about program functions and in depth configuration
options of the DriveRack 260.
3.1 Program Definition
The first step in understanding the programming capabilities of the DriveRack is to understand the components of
a complete “program.” Within an individual program, there are several levels of editing that make up the complete
program. When initially entering a program, you will be at the “program” mode level. This level supplies the user with
current program information such as: current signal path, effect usage, and program name/number. From this point, the
DriveRack 260 gives you the option of entering subsequent levels of operation that are dedicated to program editing.
These levels include Configuration mode and Effect Edit mode. All of these components combined, make up the
conventional “program”, and they are all unique to each individual program. The exception is the Utility menu which
is accessed via the Utility button and contains a global set of parameters and therefore, is not part of one particular
program, but rather all programs.
3.2 Navigating Factory Programs
From the factory, the 260 DriveRack ships with 25 factory programs that have been designed to accommodate virtually
any sound reinforcement and installation application. The factory programs offer a clear and concise explanatory title to
get you up and running in a timely manner. These programs can also be used as templates or starting points for the user
to create custom programs.
Selecting Programs:
The quickest way to get up and running with the DriveRack is to use any one of the factory programs that are available
in the box. To select a factory program, (from program mode), use the
DATA
wheel to scroll through the various
factory programs. As each factory program is selected, the display will clearly indicate the title that is directly related to
a specific application. Once a program is selected, ‘Not Loaded’ will flash in the display. To load this selected program,
press the
DATA
wheel in (this is the
SELECT
button). The display will appear something like this:
