[QUOTE="Mark Skyrme, post: 96574, member: 2528"] Re: X32 Slave mode would be a cool feature Not so sure about that! I've come across a little stumbling block, which Per mentioned a few threads back when I first thought of this linking idea. This bit is a little technical so I apologise in advance, but someone might have a bright idea...... I am using aes50 to mirror the signal inputs from the master on the slave desk so you get the visual LEDs, compression etc shown. This is because the slave can't receive meter data from the master. As the slave is receiving a digital signal the slave gain is no longer a head amp but a trim. That bit was easy (eventually!). I basically told the pc when it received a trim signal to actually make changes to the masters headamp + or - and reset the slave trim to centre again. That works ok. The problem is that the input signal level on the slave is not exactly the same as the input signal on the master, so leds are slightly out. I can adjust the trim to match (used a tone generator to set a constant level and monitored), however the gain-v-trim level adjustment varies depending on the master gain level and it is not a linear progression! Examples: Master gain 57 Slave trim 11.5 Master gain 42 Slave trim 1.5 Master gain 30.5 Slave trim. 1.5 Master gain 8.5 Slave trim 0.3 I can make a complete conversion table for all master gain values, but worry this might vary slightly from console to console (and input to input). So a little more work to do to confirm this. I also need the consoles to initially sync together too. At the moment I just save the scene and restore on the other. To be fair this is only day 2 of the project!! The headache continues............sure Behringer will have released a simple update by the time I figure it all out. [/QUOTE]
