Note: The baud rate for the RS-232/RS-422 is fixed at the factory to the default 19.2kHz

on the 1788-R to match our proprietary 1788 Remote Program for PCs.

Refer to Section 5.8 in the Model 1788 Users Manual for details on MIDI protocol and

MIDI commands with respect to controlling Model 1788s remotely.

Using the RS-232/RS-422 Communication Ports as Secondary Control Input

To synchronize the 1788-R with a PC running our proprietary 1788 Remote Program use either the RS-

232 or RS-422 connection (under the heading “To Controller”) on the 1788R’s separate power supply

box. The 1788-R’s Dip Switch #1 must be in the off (down) postion to ensure proper communication

between the 1788-R controller and the PC. (See diagram in the next section.)

3.2 WHEN USING THE 1788 REMOTE PROGRAM

Up to sixteen Model 1788s may be daisy-chained together and controlled remotely via the 1788-R

Controller and or the 1788 Remote Program. While both the controller and the program have detailed

instructions on their use in separate manuals, this is the only section that addresses using both the

controller and the remote program together.

While the 1788-R is fast and intuitive, duplicating the majority of functions found on the unit’s front

panel, it can be useful to use the 1788 Remote Program alongside the 1788-R due to certain advantages

it offers.

For instance, each Model 1788 in the system as well as all of their individual channels can be given a

specific alphanumeric name, making it much easier to identify as many as 16 units and 128 channels.

Presets can be saved as files on the remote program, immediately loading up from a Project File. The

1788 Remote Program provides a monitoring window to watch channel levels on several units simultane-

ously. The 1788-R can only monitor levels on one unit at a time. Compared to the numbered presets on

the 1788-R, the 1788 Remote Program can save presets with user-defined names making recall of

presets easier and time efficient.

When the 1788-R is used with the 1788 Remote Program, the 1788-R must be set up as the primary

controller. The prime controller is the first device to receive remote commands from the Model 1788(s). It

also passes on the same data (like a through port) to the PC with the remote program installed, enabling

synchronization. As this is the case, its important to note that when the prime controller fails, the entire

system fails.

The illustration on the following page shows how to interface a 1788-R and a PC loaded with the 1788

Remote Program.

Note: When the 1788-R is connected to a PC via the RS-232 or RS-422 port it is not possi-

ble to simultaneously use its MIDI connectors.
