Analog Input
To use the analog input trigger you'll need to connect a third-party device with a D-sub 15 connector with
connected keys. You can have 12 contact closure switches that sends between 5 and 15 volts into one of the
pins on the d-sub 15. One of the pins supply 5 volts so you don't need an external power supply as long as you
don't use to long cables.
The analog triggers are on/off only. They don't support variable input.
This is the pinout of the d-sub:
Pin 1 = Analog input 1
Pin 2 = Analog input 3
Pin 3 = Analog input 5
Pin 4 = Analog input 7
Pin 5 = Analog input 9
Pin 6 = Analog input 11
Pin 7 = + 5 volts
Pin 8 = Common Ground
Pin 9 = Analog input 2
Pin 10 = Analog input 4
Pin 11 = Analog input 6
Pin 12 = Analog input 8
Pin 13 = Analog input 10
Pin 14 = Analog input 12
Pin 15 = Not used
MIDI Input
The MIDI input reacts to MIDI notes received. You can assign a trigger to note 0 to 127 - so there are 128 different
MIDI triggers. The triggers react to the velocity information. This means that a fader can be position according to
the received velocity. Executor buttons also react to MIDI "On" and "Off" commands.
DMX Input
The DMX input reacts to the DMX input connector as well as the network protocols Art-Net input and sACN input
on the dot2. All three inputs use the internal DMX universe 9. The DMX remote input can use all the 512 DMX
channels. Executor buttons and commands are executed if the DMX input is in the 128 to 255 range. It also
supports variable input so you can control the position of the executor fader - it then reacts to the 1 to 255 range.
The activity indicator only lights up if the input is triggering something. So if you only have Executor buttons and
commands, then the input value needs to be 127 and above before the indicator is active. For executor faders it'll
activate when the input is above 0.
