16 Presets DUAL setting
Select one of sixteen Presets using GPI1 and
GPI2.
This mode uses 8-state on GPI1 and binary on
GPI2.
In this mode, the Scene Presets are always re-
called from two consecutive banks – e.g. Bank 1
and Bank 2.
Select the Preset Bank pairs (1+2, 3+4 etc.) using
the Scene Bank parameter.
Idle state
“Idle” denotes GPI control being presently not
active – i.e. the unit can still be controlled as nor-
mal, adjusting parameters and recalling presets
via Icon. However, once a non-idle GPI state is
chosen, the selected Scene preset is recalled,
and normal functionality is blocked (which is also
the case when GPI is engaged in general).
Scene Bank parameter
If you have set the previously described Function
parameter to any value other than “Off”, you can
select the Bank (or Banks) that Presets should
be chosen from using the Scene Bank param-
eter. See the recall modes for a more thorough
explanation.
Status field
The status field is intended for diagnostics dur-
ing the setup of GPI control.
“-“ display
GPI 1 is not enabled, or the incoming voltage is
outside of valid windows. Check the device’s GPI
calibration, the incoming voltage and the general
external GPI setup.
“Idle” display
GPI is not controlling. The incoming GPI voltage
may be at maximum or not connected while the
current setting for the Scene Bank parameter in
the same section includes the “idle” option.
“1 (N/A)” display
No valid User preset is stored in that specific li-
brary location, and therefore GPI is not control-
ling. The behavior of the device is identical to
Idle state.
“1”, “2” … “8” displays
Incoming GPI voltage is within the valid window,
and GPI is controlling Scene Recall. The TC Icon
UI is locked.
Details regarding GPI signals
GPI 1 is receiving fixed-state, latching signals. A
validation process is performed when receiving
a new GPI voltage. The incoming voltage needs
to be within the specific valid window for 500 ms
before the preset change is initiated.
The time required for performing a change de-
pends on the scope of that change – e.g., wether
it only involves parameters changes or the rout-
ing and algorithm change as well.

cuits, see “Appendix 2: UpCon GPI/O page” on
