Cesaral Soundmaster
1) Introduction
You have in your hands an efficient and effective solution to play sounds effects and High
Fidelity music in a very easy and flexible way, and very importantly, at the specific moment
you need each sound. Your audiences will have no idea how you have such precise control
over those sounds, and they will be amazed by your professional presentations.
The Cesaral Soundmaster allows very fast and easy access to 100 Random audio files and to
hundreds of sequential audio files.
The Cesaral Soundmaster system has been designed to be multi functional. In co-operation
with professional magicians around the world a great deal of thought has been put into the
design of the unit in order to give performers a tool that works to their best advantage.
The Soundmaster system consists of:
1) A Central Unit that is connected to an amplifier or sound system through a stereo
standard headphone jack. Normally you will use a headphone to stereo RCA cable to connect
the Soundmaster to your amplifier / sound system.
2) A Remote Control Unit. There are different transmitters (Control Units) that can be
used to control the Cesaral Soundmaster. No product on the market has so many control
possibilities.

Summary of Contents for Cesaral Soundmaster

  • Page 1 Your audiences will have no idea how you have such precise control over those sounds, and they will be amazed by your professional presentations. The Cesaral Soundmaster allows very fast and easy access to 100 Random audio files and to hundreds of sequential audio files.
  • Page 2 Here are some of the available control units: Some of the Remote Control Units available Page - 2...
  • Page 3 The first Remote Control Unit is called the “Cesaral Invisible Key” which is a 12 button transmitter (already used with some of our other Cesaral Magic tricks): The pen marker has 12 buttons arranged in such a way that you have easy access to the specific button you want each time.
  • Page 4 The fourth remote control unit is a special Thumb Tip with three buttons, called the “Cesaral Magic T.T.”. This control unit can be used for some basic “sequential mode” functions as we will see later. The buttons can be covered with brown tape to disguise them.
  • Page 5 AA batteries or rechargeable batteries. The Soundmaster is quite small and is therefore easy to pack and transport. You may also connect to it any amplifier. Page - 5...
  • Page 6 Soundmaster. This can be easily done via Windows explorer. 5) Names of the sound files One of the amazing aspects of Soundmaster is that you don’t need a specific program to configure it. The name given to the sound files determines how they will be used - which control unit will play them, in what effect, and in what order.
  • Page 7 • "Y" is the effect identifier. Here are the possible values for it and their meanings: o Pressing button “1” on the Effect Selector all the sound files that start with the letter “A” are selected. o Pressing button “2” on the Effect Selector all the sound files that start with the letter “B”...
  • Page 8 For example, these sound file names are correct: This file is the first one on the list, it is controlled by the body AB1_01 example.mp3 remote “1”, and in the effect “A” This file is the sound number 99 on the list, it is controlled by CT1_99 example 2.mp3 the Thumb Tip button 1, and is only active in the effect “C”...
  • Page 9 The sounds used in Random access mode are organized in 10 Playlists with 10 audio files in each (a total of 100 sequences available) and have this format: “ZZnnn x...x..mp3”. “ZZ” is the Playlist number. Can be: “01” to use the first Playlist “02”...

  • Page 10: Operation Modes

    We are now going to look at the default commands of each of the control units. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you may want to change the functions of these remotes….and that very importantly this is covered in the price of the Soundmaster - we will not charge you for it.
  • Page 11 Button “y”: This has the same functionality as in Sequential Mode If you have the file named “ERROR.MP3” on the SD card, then this sound will be played in case you try to play a sound that does not exist on the SD card. We advise you to put this kind of file on the SD card.
  • Page 12 When a button is pressed, it only takes a fraction of a second to play the selected sound. If you want to have a specific button programmed, just email cesaral@cesaral.com Page - 12...
  • Page 13 If music is being played and you press this button again, then you will PAUSE the current track. If you press this button again, then you will RESUME the track. In some sub-versions of the Soundmaster the pause function has been disabled and can be enable again placing in the SD card a file named ZP.DAT.
  • Page 14 4.4) Commands on the Magic Wand Control Unit: Important: In all of the operation methods of the Wand Control Unit, switch 1 must be in “ON” position, and switch 2 in “OFF” position. When you finish the performance, don’t forget to put both switches in “OFF”...
  • Page 15 4.5) Commands on the 3 button Thumb Tip control Unit: This Control Unit always works in sequential mode: Button 1: Plays the next sound in the sequential list of the selected effect. So, the format of the files that will play is: YT1_nn <x…x>.mp3.
  • Page 16 Following Granddad’s instructions (via the Soundmaster) a card is forced. Then a newspaper is folded up into a small packet and the paper is put into the box with the teeth.
  • Page 17 Sequential Access mode: In this mode you can control Sound or Music files in sequential order and under your complete control. Once the Soundmaster has played the first track in your sequential list it will wait until you click the button again to activate the next track in your list.
  • Page 18 LED. If when you request a sound and you hear nothing, look at this LED to check External to see if the order was received by the Soundmaster. This LED will show whether the order sent remotely was received or not.

  • Page 19: Additional Notes

    Soundmaster is telling that for some reason is not able to find the requested sound It is possible to connect a FM Sender Unit to the Soundmaster and your sounds are transmitted to a FM Radio or receiver that in turn can be connected to your amplifying System Upon demand, Soundmaster can be used to control other devices such as Thumpers, Lights, and Servo Units.
