self Self interrupt of MP3 files
This command will allow an MP3 file to be interrupted by itself if the trip is
removed and then re-applied.
Note: The MP3 can still interrupt itself even if “mint” and “pint” are set to
“0”. This command is useful to achieve a “scratching” effect by re-tripping
repeatedly,
/self=0; Currently playing MP3 cannot be interrupted by the
same trip number.
/self=1; Currently playing MP3 will be interrupted by the same
trip number if released and re-applied.
fast Fast access of mp3 files
Using this command allows very fast interrupting or restarting of MP3
files. Files must be encoded at 48KHz sample rate and bit rate must be
192KBps stereo when using this mode.
Note. One shot mode does not work with this command and also the trip
inputs are not debounced as thoroughly to improve access time therefore
external trip wiring should be kept short and screened if possible.
/fast=0; Normal operation
/fast=1; Fast mode enabled
nbuf No buffer flush
This command is normally used in conjunction with “fast” to speed up
interrupting time by preventing the sound store from flushing its decoder
data buffer. Files must be encoded at 48KHz sample rate and bit rate
must be 192KBps stereo when using this mode.
/nbuf=0; Decoder buffer is flushed when an MP3 is
interrupted.
/nbuf=1; Decoder buffer is not flushed when an MP3 is inter
rupted.
fixl Fix left output to max level
This command can be used to prevent a control tone track or smpte track
from being turned down with the volume control. This command will set
the left output to maximum. The volume control will not affect the left
channel although the Bass and Treble will still have an effect and the
tone attenuator will also affect the output unless the tone attenuator is
preset using the “tnat” command above.
/fixl=1; Left output fixed
/fixl=0; Left output Variable
fixr Fix right output to max level
This command can be used to prevent a control tone track or smpte track
from being turned down with the volume control. This command will set
the right output to maximum. The volume control will not affect the right
channel although the Bass and Treble will still have an effect and the
tone attenuator will also affect the output unless the tone attenuator is
preset using the “tnat” command above.
/fixr=1; Right output fixed
/fixr=0; Right output Variable
scn1
Scan trips once
This command allows the eight trip inputs to be scanned and played one
after the other in ascending order.
Example: If trips 1,3,7,8 were all activated together, the sound store
would play message 1 then 3 then 7 then 8 and then stop. To restart the
sequence, either remove all trips and reapply or ground the stop input
momentarily.
NOTE: Function only works in decimal trip mode
Do not use mint or pint commands
Test button will set sequencer to trip number assigned to it
This function will sequence sound or command files
/scn1=1; Multi trip scanning enabled
/scn1=0; Not enabled
scnc Scan trips continuously
This command allows the eight trip inputs to be scanned and played con-
tinuously one after the other in ascending order.
Example: If trips 1,3,7,8 were all activated together, the sound store
would play message 1 then 3 then 7 then 8 and then start again. To
restart the sequence, either remove all trips and reapply or ground the
stop input momentarily.
NOTE: Function only works in decimal trip mode
Do not use mint or pint commands
Test button will set sequencer to trip number assigned to it.
This function will sequence sound or command files
/scnc=1; Continuous multi trip scanning enabled
/scnc=0; Not enabled
bank Banked trip inputs.
With banked trip inputs, it is possible to select up to 128 files divided into
16 banks of 8 files.
Banked trip inputs use ‘sync in’ (pin A17) to select banks 1-8 and ‘run
in’ (pin B17) to select banks 9-16.
To operate, ground ‘sync in’ or ‘run in’ momentarily then activate a trip
input to select a message bank (1 of 16). The next trip input entered
selects the file within the bank. The bank remains valid until another
bank is selected.
Note:
This only works with decimal trips ie /biny=0;
Bank selecting trip must be released before selecting the file to be
played.
Busy led lights with run/sync in and goes out when bank is selected.
/bank=1; Banked trips active
/bank=0; Banked trips inactive
wdog Multimedia Card Watchdog
In standby mode, the MMC card is checked every 5 seconds to ensure it
is still inserted and functioning normally. The busy led will blink very
briefly every 5 seconds.
/wdog=1; Watchdog active
/wdog=0; Watchdog inactive
actl Alternative control
Disables the control output transistors from their normal modes.
‘Run out’ and ‘Sync out’ can be used as programmable outputs from
within a command file. See outp command.
/actl=0; ‘Sync out’ and ‘Run out’ configured as standard
/actl=1; ‘Sync out’ and ‘Run out’ available for user control.
sfat Save File Allocation Table
Saves in eeprom the start address of each file which will reduce access
times to files if a large number of files are stored on the card. Maximum
number of files allowed with this command is 128 files.
To save the addresses, ensure “tstb=255” is set in ctl.txt file and then
press the test button at standby condition. The DMS3000 will light the
busy led for about 30 seconds while scanning the MMC card.
Note.
It is only necessary to scan the card once unless any changes are made
to the card content. If in doubt, scan the card again.
/sfat=0; Normal operation
/sfat=1; Save FAT enabled
mast Synchronisation Master
This command is used to configure a DMS3000 as a master unit when
connecting multiple sound stores together to achieve a multitrack sys-
tem.
/mast=1; Master Mode enabled
/mast=0; Normal Operation
slav Synchronisation Slave
This command is used to configure a DMS3000 as a slave unit when
connecting multiple sound stores together to achieve a multitrack sys-
tem.
/slav=1; Slave Mode enabled
/slav=0; Normal Operation
