ORKING WITH CONFIGURATIONS
The data that controls the audio processing is called a
configuration
. The processor stores four configuration
presets in its internal memory, which can be selected from the plugin or via remote control.
6.6.1
Online and offline mode
Initially, the plugin is in
offline
mode. When the
Connect&Synchronize
button is used, the plugin downloads
configuration data into the processor and goes into
online
mode. Changes made in the plugin user interface
therefore fall into two categories:
The plugin is in online mode
The
plugin user interface is “live” –
that is, any changes made to the audio processing
parameters in the user interface are immediately downloaded to the processor. The effect of
these changes will thus be audible as the changes are made.
The plugin is in offline mode
Changes made to audio processing parameters in the plugin user interface will be made locally
only. The next time the plugin is synchronized to the processor, the parameters will be
downloaded to the processor (as long as the
Synchronize Config
button is selected).
The configuration contained in the miniDSP hardware unit cannot be uploaded back to the
computer. Therefore, you
must
save your configuration to a file if you wish to recover from any
changes you make while in offline mode.
6.6.2
Selecting a configuration
The active configuration is selected by one of the four Configuration Selection buttons:
To switch to a different configuration, click on a different button. There are two cases:
The plugin is in online mode
Audio processing will switch to the parameters contained in the selected configuration. If,
however, parameters of the newly selected configuration have been changed since the last that
particular configuration was synchronized to the processor, then a dialog will appear asking you
if you want to synchronize the configuration.
The plugin is in offline mode
The user interface will update to show the parameters of the newly selected configuration. If
this configuration is changed in the user interface, it will be downloaded to the processor the
next time it is synchronized.
