FINAL CHECKOUT
Now it’s time to make sure everything works together.
1. Open the UltraMix application (if it’s not already open).
The transport window and an untitled session window
should appear on the screen.
2. Push the BANK SELECT button on the UltraPilot (located
on the right side). The red LEDs on channels 17-32 of the
UltraPilot should light, and the glass faders on the screen
should swap banks.
3. If your external sync device supports MMC, make sure
Ext. Sync is not Bypassed. (When it’s bypassed, the Ext.
Sync button in the UltraMix transport window appears lit.
Click it to turn Bypass off.) Press the Play/Stop button on
the UltraPilot, or the spacebar on the computer keyboard.
Your tape should roll and the time code numbers in the
Transport window should increase.
If this doesn’t work, then something isn’t quite right. Read
through the setup and installation instructions again and
see if you can get things straightened out. If you’re still
stumped, check Appendix G: Troubleshooting, on page 211.
Go Ahead – Make Your First (Fader) Move
1. Move a fader on the UltraPilot. If the corresponding fader
on the computer screen moves, congratulations. You’re now
set to sail the sea of automation. If for some odd reason it
doesn’t work, again we suggest rereading the previous sec-
tions. And in that case, may we suggest liquid refreshment?
