Remote Mode
You can connect multiple Mastermind GTs together and have them operate in unison. Selecting a preset or pressing an
Instant Access button on any controller will cause the other controllers to switch similarly. This is a great feature for
both stage and studio - you can have multiple controllers at different locations on the stage, have an additional
controller operated off-stage by a tech, or have controllers in both the studio and the control room.
Before enabling Remote Mode, all of your Mastermind GTs need to have the exact same settings. Use the process
described in the Loading and Saving Settings to a USB Flash Drive section to transfer the data from one unit to another
until all of your Mastermind GTs are up to date.
Next, to enable Remote Mode, you need to use the MIDI Settings Menu to turn on the Remote parameter on all of the
Mastermind GTs you wish to link. Next, connect the
Remote In jack of the first GT to the MIDI Out of the second GT, the
Remote In of the second GT to the MIDI Out of the third one, and so on. The first Mastermind GT (the only one that
doesn’t have its MIDI Out jack connected to the Remote In of another GT) should have its MIDI Out jack connected to
the rest of your rig.
You can use either the standard MIDI or XLR jacks (if available) for connecting your Mastermind GTs – both types of
connector can be used interchangeably. Please note that phantom power is not passed from one Mastermind GT to
another – each unit will need its own power supply.
When the Mastermind GTs are turned on, you’ll notice one or two arrows in the bottom right corner of the main display
on each unit. The first unit in the chain will have an arrow pointing to the right, the last unit in the chain will have an
arrow pointing left and any units in the middle of the chain will have arrows pointing left and right. These arrows
indicate that remote mode communication is active.
