7 The Software

The Sirius mixer is totally software controlled. It means that all data is digitally processed and
saved on hard disk of floppy or any other storage device. The software allows you to configure
the Sirius just the way you want it.
Set-ups can be configured in just any way you want it. It is however important to carefully
program this personal set-up, so benefiting from it will be a repeated pleasure.
It is very important to get familiar with all the software options that are built into this design.
The Software can be divided in several building blocks.
1) Global settings
2) Input and output set-up
3) Macro-switch set-up
4) User management.
5) Snapshots and pre-sets.
6) Work environment.
7) Service.
Block 1, 2, 3 and 4 are intended for one time only personal programming. Block 5 and 6 are
intended for daily use. It can be seen as the main screen display.
Block 7 is a section where all options are located to monitor the internal activities of the Sirius
for service purposes.
