Software Installation
The Symetrix SymNet Designer software provides
real-time control over multiple audio functions from a
Windows 95/98/2000 PC environment.
Use one of the following procedures to install the SymNet
Designer on your computer.
From the SymNet Designer CD-ROM:
1. The software should autorun after inserting the CD-
ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2. If the software does not autorun, then Click on the
Start button, Run d:\setup
(if your CD-ROM drive isn’t d:, then substitute its drive
letter)
From the Symetrix Website (http://
www.symetrixaudio.com):
1. Download the SymNet™ Designer program le.
2. From the Start button, Run the le/program that you
just downloaded to start the Setup program.
The software always starts up in ofine mode.
Regardless, you can explore the software, experiment to
your heart’s content, and perhaps even get useful work
done. You can save any congurations that you create
to a le that can be downloaded later into an operating
SymNet system.
If there is a SymNet unit connected, you can go to online,
and upload the conguration le from the SymNet unit(s).
Once you have a unit connected, you can also work
in real time, which allows you to hear adjustments and
settings as you make them.
Using SymNet Desginer
Once the installation process is complete, you should
have an icon on your desktop, and a program item on the
Start menu. Click on the SymNet icon and you’re ready to
begin.
SymNet™ Designer is mostly self explanatory. The
Conguration Screen represents all SymNet units in a
system. Each unit can store up to eight congurations.
Using the insert tab of the tool kit (left-hand) window, you
select the SymNet unit that you wish to congure and
drag it to the conguration page. Double clicking on the
unit opens it, and causes the tool kit to display all the
different signal processors available. The tool kit window
is context sensitive. It always displays the items that can
be placed in the current window. You can switch to the
Browser tab of the tool kit to navigate to all of the relevant
windows opened.
Drag and drop signal processors into the conguration
page. Connect them together by clicking on a connection
point and moving the mouse in the direction you want the
wire to run. Make corners by clicking at the corner and
moving off in a new direction. Terminate a wire by clicking
on the terminating connection point or by hitting the ESC
key or right mouse button. Right click on an existing wire
to make a tee connection.
Once you’ve completed your design, download it to the
SymNet unit by clicking the Download! item in the menu
bar located at the top of the screen. Double click on
processors on the conguration page to see and change
their settings.
Note: There are a lot of useful functions available in the
mouse right-click. Explore! That’s the ultra-condensed
version. You’ll nd more complete information in SymNet
Designer’s help system.
