Linking Heritage Consoles together Via CAN:
A maximum of 6 consoles can be linked via the CAN bus connector located at the rear of the Heritage consoles.
Any mixture of any Heritage consoles may be linked H3000,H2000 or H1000..
They are linked using a cable the description of which is given on the next page. If you have more than 2 consoles
in a system the end consoles(either end of the cable) must have the RED termination button in the out position
(default), all other consoles must have this Red button pressed in.
When linked only one console can be the master at any one time, all other linked consoles are slaves. The following
functions are linked:
Master VCA Control
Master AutoMute Control
VCA Master Solo
Solo in Place Mode
Scene Storage and Recall (See attached Note 1)
Mode Switches
Automation Assignment Keys
Solo On
Solo Clear (See Note 2)
Note 1
All scene memory information remains local to the console so when saving or loading memories to or from the
console by either computer file or midi sysex dump, each console must be done individually.
When setting up a multiple console system it is recommended that programming is done from the start with all
consoles linked. This is to avoid recalling a scene that does not exist on a slave console. If this is done you will
see a warning message on the Master indicating that the scene does not exist and prompting for conformation
at which point the master will recall the required scene but the slave will remain on the last existing scene recalled.
Midi may only be stored locally on a console, if you wish to program midi outs on slave console you must first
make this the master or stand alone ( this will be described later) and then program your midi out messages as
normal.
Note 2
As the Solo add and Clear function of the Heritage 1000 are controlled differently to that of the 3000 and 2000.
The solo CLR and ADD functions are not linked and must be triggered locally on any 1000 linked into a system.
Switching a Console to Master or Slave:
a/ Press the SYSTEM menu and using the UP and DOWN keys scroll to CONS then press CONFIRM.
b/ Using the UP and DOWN keys select either Master or Slave then Press CONFIRM.
c/ You will then be prompted to choose the ID number of the console using the UP and DOWN keys you have
a choice of ID 1 to 8, No 2 consoles in the same system must have the same ID.
d/ Pressing CONFIRM will then synchronize the console with the system.
Note When a console is in slave mode CONS is the only item of the SYSTEM menu that can be accessed.
If a slave console is reconfigured to be a master it will automatically make the original master console a
slave when the CONFIRM button is pressed.
