Control Surface Variants
4-fader single frame
12-fader single frame
crystal can exist as a single or split-frame control surface.
A choice of five main frame layouts are available, with the option to add an extender module to increase the
fader count or create a split-frame surface.
In total, the control surface can include any number of extenders as long as the maximum number of faders
does not exceed 24.
Each frame connects to the Compact Engine via CAN bus, and is powered from its own 12V DC power supply
(included). All frames include
CAN IN
and
CAN OUT
connectors for easy daisy-chaining. In each case, the
CAN bus address of a module defines its functionality. Thus, frames can be wired in any order.
