Grouping
The working paradigm in the K-framework3 is to group the input
and output channels of the units in the workspace and adjust
the system performance within the groups.
Groups can be created working both off-line and on-line and are
retained by the real units even once unplugged: if a real device
belongs to a group, the group is re-created in the workspace
during the synchronization process.
An active loudspeaker or amplifier might belong to multiple
groups sharing its features (eq filters, time delay, volume, etc).
Discovery
1. Ensure that all the units and the PC/Mac running the
K-framework3 are properly connected to the same
network.
2. Power up the units.
3.
Launch the K-framework3.
4. Open the Network window and launch the discovery:
• If the K-framework3 finds two or more devices with the
wrong ID, a dialog window appears where unique IDs can
be assigned to the units.
5. Once discovered, the real units are shown in the left
columns, following the order of their ID number; if the
workspace contains virtual devices of the same type you
can eventually modify the IDs in order to match the units
and allows the synchronization. The synchronization can
be in either directions: Workspace-to-Real or Real-to-
Workspace. Select the sync direction and synchronize all or
the single units separately
A. In Setup mode: set the unit local parameters (presets,
routing, input gains, limiters, etc).
B. Add INPUT and OUTPUT
groups as needed.
C. Assign the units’ channels
to the groups.
D. Switch to Tuning mode.
E. Align the system using
the tools available on the
groups (eq, delay, polarity,
etc).
The K-framework3 synchronization process reset
to default the EQ, delay and volume parameters
edited with the K-array Control mobile app and
the embedded Web app.
