The following step-by-step instructions will first assist you in configuring the Model 1788(s) into a system so they will be recognized by the 1788-R and then you are guided through a comm test proce- dure. Finally, we show how presets are created, loaded and changed.
Section 2.4. 2.2 SELECTION AND VALIDATION BLOCK The upper portion of the 1788-R is used for selecting and validating all Model 1788s in a system chain. The COMM TEST button initiates a communication test, which verifies the connection status of all Model 1788s in the system.
It DOES NOT indicate which preset is currently loaded to the connected Model 1788’s. If any presets are created on the Model 1788-R, the LOAD button will illuminate just after the comm test, indicating the ‘Next’ selected preset is ready to be loaded into the connected Model 1788(s). Loading a preset initiates a download of all current settings.

CLIP/LIM MEMORY FUNCTION. (Press both TEST TONE buttons and CHANNEL SELECT #6). To be able to indicate a single, fast Clip/Lim event and give the user of the 1788-R a chance to react to the event, the 1788-R’s Clip/Lim indicators has a built-in user-definable memory function.
Standard MIDI, RS-232 and RS-422 communication ports are provided on the 1788-R’s external power supply for connecting the 1788-R to a bank of Model 1788’s. No matter what port is selected the proto- col will always be MIDI, although the communication standard will vary.
1788 Remote Program provides a monitoring window to watch channel levels on several units simultane- ously. The 1788-R can only monitor levels on one unit at a time. Compared to the numbered presets on the 1788-R, the 1788 Remote Program can save presets with user-defined names making recall of presets easier and time efficient.
