Programming AMX Controllers for a Kaleidescape System

Zones

Presets are shared between all zones on all players in the system. A preset saved

on one music zone can be used anywhere in the system. The zone number must be

defined when setting up the virtual device. A single virtual device can control both

an SATP interface as well as a set of keypads. See Programming on page 17 for

more information.

Saving presets

To save a preset, the music item must be played first from any control interface —

through OSD control, SATP control, or the control panels available on the browser

interface. Once the music is playing, press and hold a programmed preset button

for a few seconds to set the preset. The playback will mute briefly to acknowledge

that the preset has been saved.

Any discrete music item can be saved as a preset. An individual track, album, mix

album, genre, artist, classical work, classical composer, user-defined collection, or

all music can be saved to a preset.

If more than one item is set to play (for example, three albums are queued up in

Now Playing), only the item currently playing is saved to the preset. There is no need

to re-save presets when new content is added to a genre, artist, classical composer,

user-defined collection, or mix album. The system plays the entire contents each

time recalled, regardless of what songs were present when the preset was saved.

Preset browsing

The module also provides the ability to browse through the presets in numerical

order. There are three controls provided for this activity: first, next, and previous. If

a specific preset has not been defined, that preset is skipped and the next defined

preset is activated.

To stop the next and previous commands at a certain maximum preset index, send

the Max Preset command to the device to indicate the maximum preset to cycle

through. The First, Next, and Previous commands can be activated through

channels 140, 141, and 142, respectively.

Preset feedback

Each preset in the module is associated with a descriptive text label identifying

what is saved to that preset. For example, if the user saves the genre Jazz to a

preset, then Jazz becomes the preset label. If the user saves music by Queen or the

Alice in Chains album Facelift to a preset, then the preset label becomes Queen or

Alice in Chains – Facelift, respectively. These labels can be used on keypad character

displays or touch panels to identify the preset value of buttons.

The module also reports information about the currently selected music entity

using the Now Playing Item output. If a preset is currently playing, the label

associated with that preset is displayed.
