3. Verify that the PlayAUDIO1U is set to Scene A. If the LED indicator light below the Scene label is illuminated and red and the OLED display
shows “B” on the main page, touch the Scene LED once to toggle the button state and make Scene A the active scene.
4. On both computers (Computer A and Computer B), open your Digital Audio Workstation and load your playback project.
5. On Computer A (your primary playback device), instantiate your tone plugin on an available track and assign it to the PlayAUDIO1U's audio
output 15 (Control Tone). When your PlayAUDIO1U unit detects the test tone, a blinking shield icon will appear on the main page of the OLED,
indicating that the PlayAUDIO1U is armed for automatic failover. If a blinking shield icon does not appear on the main page of the OLED you may
need to open Auracle for X software and configure Failover settings in the Audio page of the PlayAUDIO1 menu. Refer to Auracle X documentation
for detailed instructions at

.
6. Connect a MIDI external controller to the USB host port. Ensure that both DAWs are configured so that playback can be triggered on both DAWs
simultaneously.
7. With the PlayAUDIO1U armed, use the attached external MIDI controller to trigger simultaneous playback on Computer A and Computer B.
How to Test Automatic Failover
1. Ensure that the PlayaAUDIO1U is armed and playback has been triggered on both computers. To force failover from Computer A to Computer B,
remove the cable from USB DAW port A. The PlayAUDIO1U will instantly switch over to Computer B as Audio and MIDI playback continues
uninterrupted. The Scene indicator LED will change to illuminate in red and the OLED will display “B”, indicating that Scene B is now the active
scene.
How to Configure the PlayAUDIO1U for Manual Failover
Failover can be engaged manually by touching either cap touch button above or below the Scene label on the Interactive Touch Panel Display. The
current scene is indicated as follows:
Scene A:
The cap touch button above the Scene label is illuminated in green, and the Touch panel display shows the letter “A”
Scene B:
The cap touch button below the Scene label is illuminated in red, and the Touch panel display shows the letter “B”
For information on how to use a footswitch to initiate manual failover, please see the updated Auracle X manual in the Control Ports section.
