Multiple control sequences can be selected for export to a single file by
holding down the ’Shift’ key while selecting the control sequences to
be exported.
Clone
Select the control sequence to be cloned and click on the ‘Clone’
button to open the control sequence clone dialog.

Enter a new name for the cloned control sequence, and optionally
enter or change the project name, author name and description. Click
on ‘OK’ to create the new control sequence.

LOGIC PROGRAMMING
Logic Maestro allows control sequences to be created and edited by
dragging and dropping logic elements and library modules onto a
layout and connecting them. Configuration elements are then added
to the module library elements by dragging and dropping them onto the
appropriate areas of the module library elements to define the items
that are to be used in the control sequence.
The toolbar allows the user to Undo and Redo changes, zoom in or out
of the view, simulate inputs to the logic design, vary the speed of
simulation and refresh the view.
To start a new project click on the ‘New’ tab and enter the project
information into the dialogue screen and click on ‘OK’. The control
logic layout screen is then opened.
Figure 1-11: Logic Maestro Interface
Configuration elements are devices present in the target configuration
(the configuration that the control sequence will be part of). These are
divided into Control Inputs, Control Outputs, Directs/Interfaces, Fixed
Groups and Panels. To select a configuration element click on the
group the required configuration element belongs to and a list of all the
elements in that category will be displayed in the configuration element
pane.
Comments can be added to the control sequence design in two ways:
• Placing the mouse pointer over the design pane but not over a design
element and right clicking will create a free-floating comment box that
can be edited with the text of the comment. Double click on the
comment box to highlight and edit the comment text. Free floating
comments can be moved around the design panel using the mouse.
• Placing the mouse pointer over the title of a library module or over a
logic element and right clicking will open a drop down menu of

you need to remain
static and use these for
the logic diagram. The
fixed group member(s)
can then change names
without breaking the
logic.

options. Selecting ‘Add Comment’ will create a comment attached to
the module or logic element. Double click on the comment box to
highlight and edit the comment text. Attached comments can be
moved around the design panel using the mouse but will always
remain connected to the target item.
Figure 1-12: List of Configuration Elements
In the case of devices with talk and listen labels both labels are
displayed in the list in the format ‘talk label’,’listen label’. Devices that
do not have talk and listen labels are identified by name.
Logic elements can be dragged into the design pane and placed for
connection to other elements.
To connect a control input to a logic element simply place the mouse
pointer over the connection point on the control input, left click and
hold, and drag the connection to the required connection point on the
logic element and release the mouse button. The same process is
used to connect the output from a logic element to a control output.

Figure 1-13: Example Control Sequence
Click on the ‘Simulate’ button on the toolbar to test the logic for errors.
When simulation mode is active double clicking with the left mouse
button on a logic input will invert the current state of the input unless it
is an enable or disable logic element. When an element in the design
is off it is colored dark grey, when on it is white. Setting an input to true
allows the result of the logic design to be checked.
The speed of the simulation can be set to normal, divided by ten or
divided by forty by clicking on the ‘Speed’ button on the toolbar and
selecting the required speed from the menu. The slower speeds allow
the design to be checked for race conditions that might occur if there
are multiple paths between elements with different time delays in them.
Right clicking on a control sequence element will open a drop down
menu allowing the element to be deleted, cut or copied. A comment
can also be added. In the case of logic elements the type of logic
element can also be changed.

MODULE LIBRARY
The module library provides control items which can be programmed
with physical devices such as panel keys, direct interfaces and control
labels. The physical items are then acted upon by the control items to
create logic inputs and outputs, create audio paths or change the state
of panel hardware.
Control Input
Control inputs are used to provide inputs to the control sequence when
a control is active. The control inputs are triggered by controls set up
in ECS by the Control Manager and are usually General Purpose
Inputs (GPIs). These may be attached to devices such as
footswitches. Controls set up in ECS using the Control Manager may
also be assigned to keys under Panel Programming. In this case
activating the panel key will act as a control input.
To set up a control input drag and drop a ‘Control I/P’ module from the
‘Module Library’ onto the design pane.

To add a control click on the ‘Controls’ menu to open it and display the
‘Add control’ item.

Drag and drop an item from the list of control labels onto the ‘Add
control’ item to add it to the list of controls that will trigger the Control
Input function.
