Options:
-
[Use Bit Detector] Sequences that have „Ext Sync“ enabled are triggered using the integrated
microphone. The trigger mainly reacts to bass frequencies. The [Delay] function defines an interval
between triggers. This can be of use if you only want the trigger to react to every second bass beat, for
example.
-
[Use Keyboard] The external PS-2 keyboard can be en- or disabled. I.e. for applications with no remote
control possibility.
-
[Use Midi]:

Standard MIDI-Keyboard can be connected to interface for manual selection of Sequences, and for
control of speed, start and stop etc.

[Use I/O control pad] <connect switch interface>:
If you would like to use Stand Alone Mode with the DMXCreator1024 and would like to use existing light
switches in an installation for lighting control, the DMXCrea offers a switch interface. This
option allows for the connection of up to 16 zero volt switches. These switches are user definable, and
thus offer great deal of flexibility in terms of finding the right look for a particular application or setting.
This function is available on DMXCreator1024 interface with a plastic cover located over the SD card
Slot made of a 9-pin D-Sub connector
From your DMXCreator dealer you can obtain a special cable which connects to the casing of your
interface as mentioned. Connect the selected zero volt switches with a standard 9-pin D-Sub
connector. The corresponding counter connector is included in the shipment.
! IMPORTANT: Never connect voltage carrying switches (contact closures) to the pins of the D-
Sub connector! This can lead to the destruction of the entire interface! Such defects are NOT
covered under warranty!
