If the green [SYNC] indicator is not lit, the device’s word clock is not defined.
Using GPI (General Purpose Interface)
The rear panel GPI (General Purpose Interface) connector can be used as an input/output
connector. This connector provides five GPI IN ports and five GPI OUT ports. For example
you can use an external switch to control internal parameters of the QL series console or to
switch scenes. Conversely, operations or scene changes performed on the QL series console
can send control signals to an external device.
For details on how to send control signals to an external device when you switch scenes, refer
to “
Outputting a control signal to an external device in tandem with scene recall (GPI OUT)
.
Using GPI IN
You can use the GPI IN ports of the GPI connector to control the parameters of the QL series
console from an external device. For example, you could use an external switch to turn the
QL series console’s Talkback on/off, operate the Tap Tempo function, or switch scenes.
