MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION
The Klark Teknik Pro MIDI Master/Slave system allows up to 65 DN3601 and DN3600 units to
be operated, either individually or together, from the front panel of a single DN3600 or a siutably
equiped computer. The system is simple to connect, simple to operate and protects itself from the
dangers of unreliable power supply and damaged connections.
Once programmed, the equaliser program memories resident in the DN3601 Slaves may be selected
via ordinary MIDI program change commands without the need for a DN3600 master unit. This
provides an economical way of managing a large installation as the slave system is both cost effective
and secure from inadvertent tampering.
Connections.
For remote control of all parameters, any DN3601, DN3600 and computer devices must be linked in
a closed loop via their Pro MIDI interfaces - MIDI OUT to MIDI IN. Master/Slave configuration is
automatic when two or more DN3600 and/or DN3601 units linked in this way. Remote control is via
"system exclusive" messages.
Note: The loop must be closed. Each MIDI OUT must be connected to the next MIDI IN. If MIDI
program change messages from some other device are to be injected onto the Klark Teknik loop, this
must be done via a MIDI MERGE unit.
