Thank you for purchasing the CS1D. This booklet explains the functionality that was added or changed in version 1.4 of the PM1D software.

New functionality in system software V1.4

New functionality in system software V1.4
The following functionality and specifications have been added in version 1.4 of the PM1D system software.
Digital gain has been added to input channels/ insert inputs
Digital gain has been added to input channels and insert inputs, allowing you adjust the input sensitiv­ity in the digital domain. Digital gain can be used in input channels and insert inputs to which an AD card, digital I/O card, 2TR IN, GEQ, or EFF are assigned.
Digital gain has been added to the six 2TR IN inputs. The sensitivity of the signal that is input to each 2TR IN can be adjusted in the digital domain, indepen­dently for L and R.
BALANCE has been added to PAN mode of the input channels
The PAN parameter of an input channel can now be switched to a BALANCE parameter.
For adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input channels, you can switch the PAN parameter to a BALANCE parameter.
New capability to temporarily set paired input channels/ST IN channels to monaural
The signals from paired input channels or ST IN channels can now be converted into monaural. As the monaural conversion method, you can select L­MONO (only the signal of the odd-numbered chan­nel), R-MONO (only the signal of the even-num­bered channel), or L,R-MONO (the signals of both channels mixed).
M/S decoding functionality
“M/S decoding functionality” has been added, allow­ing a two-channel signal input from a MS mic to be converted into a L/R signal
Tr acking Recall function
The newly added “Tracking Recall” function lets you add a previously-specified offset value to the value of each fader when you recall a scene.
Changes
In the PAN/ROUTING function CH to MIX screen, the send level knob to the MATRIX bus is now displayed in gray to match the color of the encoder on the CS1D. This makes it easier to dis­tinguish the MIX send level knob from the send level knob of the MATRIX/ST ROUTING func­tion that sends the signal to the MATRIX bus.
The rotational angle of the encoder-type knobs in the screen now matches the angle of the encoder knobs of the CS1D front panel. The index mark­ings have changed in conjunction with this.
Since V1.4 adds BALANCE to the PAN mode, the line in the screen that indicates the encoder knob position is now displayed in red for PAN (same as before) and white for BALANCE, to make it eas­ier to distinguish the setting. In the MATRIX/ST function MATRIX/ST ROUTING screen as well, the encoder knob positions are displayed in red for PAN (same as before) and white for BAL­ANCE.

Digital gain for input channels/insert inputs

Digital gain has been added to input channels or insert inputs that are assigned to AD cards, digital I/O cards, 2TR IN, GEQ, or EFF. By using this, the input sensitivity can be adjusted in the digital domain even for input sources that do not have an analog head amp.
Since digital gain has been added, the input channel/ insert input displays in the IN HA/INSERT, IN CH VIEW, INPUT UNIT, and MONITOR A/MONITOR B screens have changed as follows.

Digital gain can be used to adjust the input sensitivity in a range of +10 dB– –20 dB (the knob will not turn any further to the right beyond –20 dB).
If the output of an effect return is assigned
Digital gain
Only in the case of the digital gain for an input channel, you can also use the [GAIN] encoder of the CS1D's INPUT block to adjust the setting. In this case as well, the adjustable range for the input is +10 dB– –20 dB (the knob will not turn any further to the right beyond –20 dB). Internally, the input sensitivity is adjusted in a gain range of –10 dB to +20 dB. If you want a digital source to be input at nominal level, set the GAIN knob in the screen to 0 dB.

If a mic/line input card (LMY2-ML) is assigned to an input channel/insert input, the screen will show an analog gain knob (range: +10 dB– –68 dB), just as in the previous software version.
If TB (talkback) is assigned to an input channel/ insert input, the input level will be adjusted by the panel TALKBACK [LEVEL] volume, just as in the previous software version.

Digital gain for input channels/insert inputs
If 2TR IN is assigned to an input channel/insert input, the gain settings of the 2TR IN screen and the HA/INSERT screen will be linked. These set­tings cannot be set to different positions.
The digital gain of an input channel/insert input to which 2TR IN is assigned will not be saved in the scene memory.

Procedure

To adjust the digital gain of an input channel/insert input, use the following procedure.
1. In the INPUT PATCH screen (IN PATCH function), assign either an ML card or a source other than TB to the desired input channel/insert input.
2. Access the corresponding screen of the IN HA/ INSERT function.
The following illustration shown an example of when an AD card (LMY4-AD) is assigned to the input channel/insert input.
Hint
Settings for the digital gain of an input card are saved in the unit library. Also, if the UNIT parameters of the corresponding channel are set to Recall Safe, the Recall Safe setting will also apply to the digital gain of the input card.
Settings for the digital gain of EFF/GEQ are saved in the scene memory. If the corresponding internal effect/GEQ is set to Recall Safe, the Recall Safe setting will also apply to the digital gain of the correspond­ing EFF/GEQ.
4. If you want to link the gain setting of adjacent channels, click GAIN GANG switch to turn it on.
If the GAIN GANG button is on, adjacent odd-num­bered/even-numbered channels will have their gain setting linked (while maintaining the offset value).
3. Move the cursor to the GAIN knob in the screen, and turn the [DATA] encoder to adjust the digital gain.
In the case of an input channel, you can also use the [GAIN] encoder in the INPUT block of the CS1D, or the [GAIN] encoder in the SELECTED INPUT CHANNEL block.
You can also use the GAIN GANG button to link analog gain and digital gain. However, when either the analog gain or the digital gain reaches the limit of its adjustment, neither channel will be adjustable beyond this point.

Digital gain added to 2TR IN

Digital gain has been added to the six 2TR IN inputs, allowing you to adjust the input sensitivity in the digital domain. The sensitivity of the signal that is input to each 2TR IN can be adjusted independently for L and R.
Hint
Digital gain is valid even if ANALOG is selected as the source for 2TR IN 1 or 2TR IN 2. In this case, the setting adjusts the sensitivity after AD conversion.
In conjunction with this, the display in the 2TR IN screen (MON/CUE function) has changed as follows.

BALANCE control for input channels/ST IN channels

As necessary, you can now control the BALANCE parameter instead of the PAN parameter for adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input channels or ST IN channels.
To do this, access the PAN/ROUTING function CH to MIX screen, and turn on the PAN MODE section BAL­ANCE button.
BALANCE button
When the BALANCE button is on, the signal flow from those two channels to the various buses will change as follows.
STEREO bus
The PAN parameter that sends the signal to the STEREO bus will change to a BALANCE parameter. (A BAL knob will be displayed instead of a PAN knob in the PAN/ ROUTING function CH to MIX screen.)
INPUT CHANNEL 1
ON
BALANCE
INPUT CHANNEL 2
ON
STEREO L
STEREO R
In this case, the signal of the odd-numbered input chan­nel will be sent only to the L channel, and the signal of the even-numbered input channel will be sent only to the R channel. The BAL knob will adjust the volume of the two channels in tandem.

VARI type MIX bus
If a VARI type MIX bus is paired, the PAN parameter of the MIX bus will change to a BALANCE parameter. (A BAL knob will be displayed instead of a PAN knob in the PAN/ROUTING function CH to MIX screen.)
BAL knob
In this case, the signal of the odd-numbered input chan­nel will be sent only to the odd-numbered MIX bus, and the signal of the even-numbered input channel will be sent only to the even-numbered MIX bus. The BAL knob will adjust the volume of the two signals in tan­dem.
BALANCE control for input channels/ST IN channels
In addition, if the VARI PAN LINK button is on for either of these two channels, the MIX bus BAL knob will be linked with the STEREO bus BAL knob. If you oper­ate either BAL knob of the STEREO bus or MIX bus, the remaining three BAL knobs will operate in tandem.

Hint
Even if the BALANCE button is on, the signal that is sent from those input channels to a VARI type MIX bus will not be affected unless the MIX bus is paired.
FIX type MIX bus
If the FIXED MIX PAN button is on for either of the two channels whose PAN MODE is set to BALANCE, the sig­nal that flows from the corresponding input channel through the BALANCE parameter will be sent to the FIX type MIX bus. At this time, the signal of the odd-num­bered input channel will be sent only to the odd-num­bered MIX bus, and the signal of the even-numbered input channel will be sent only to the even-numbered MIX bus.
