10. S.BUS
Metron has the ability to interact with modules that support the
communication feature commonly referred to as Select Bus. Metron is
capable of being a S.BUS master or slave, modifiable from Global Settings,
accessed by pressing the [GLOBAL] button. When acting as a slave, Metron
will recall one of the 64 memory sessions saved in your current project when
it receives a change message.
The S.BUS feature reaches a new level of control when Metron is the master.
Using the S.BUS mode accessed by pressing [S.BUS], the user can freely
sequence change messages. One S.BUS track is available per variation.
This mode allows the user to send and sequence program change messages
to compatible modules on the busboard. The [TRACK SELECT] buttons
show the currently selected bank. The [MATRIX] shows the program change
messages in the sequence. A blank column represents no program change.
Pressing any of the four buttons in a column will dimly light all four buttons
in the column. This represents a program change to program 0. Pressing the
buttons in that column will toggle them between dim or brightly lit. This is a
binary representation of the program change message you wish to send. See
next page for the binary number chart (fig. 10.1)
The S.BUS sequence can be set to “Play Once” where it only plays
on the first playthrough after a reset by pressing [ENCODER 1].
