This guide deals only with the setup and use of the Soundscape Console Manager
remote control system using the Spirit Digital 328 as the remote controller. It does
not cover audio setup of the compatible Soundscape units, the SSHDR, SSHDR Plus,
R.Ed and Mixtreme PCI audio card. For audio configuration and setup, the other
available Digital 328 / Soundscape setup guides should be consulted.
With the introduction of Digital 328 software version 2.0
disable automation of internal parameters and switch to allow the automation of the
MIDI controller bank, as defined by the user. This enables the use of a ‘Closed Loop’
system between the 328 MIDI controller bank and the Soundscape Console Manager
so that the communication is bi-directional. The 328 MIDI controller bank will then
at all times reflect the position of the faders, pan controls and mute and solo switches
of the Soundscape mixer. ‘Open Loop’ continues to refer to the uni-directional
control of the Soundscape mixer from the 328, as possible in software versions 1.6
and earlier.

Connect a MIDI cable as shown in the diagram below. For ‘Open Loop’ operation the MIDI Out
of the 328 must be connected to a MIDI In port connected to the host IBM compatible PC. Both
the MIDI In and MIDI Out ports must be connected for ‘Closed Loop’ operation. Either both the
MIDI In and Out of a single port MIDI interface must be dedicated to the Digital 328, or the
console may occupy a MIDI In and Out port on a multi-port MIDI interface.

If ‘Open Loop’ is to be used, the 328 MIDI In may also be connected to a MIDI output port from
the PC if dynamic automation of the 328 internal parameters is also to be achieved. The Digital
328 setup guides available for individual sequencers should be consulted for such operation.
