send
This determines what information may be sent over EVE/NET by this Orville. This will be one
of:
nothing - the Orville is used as an EVE/NET slave device only.
keys - key strokes will be sent out and received by any other Orville with the same unit
number. This allows one Orville to control another.
Ü Using one Orville to control another on page 4.
MIDI - any MIDI dumps (SETUP/DUMP/MIDI) will be sent out and received by any other
Orville with the same unit number. This allows one Orville to download presets etc. to
another. It must also be enabled if the MIDI out sockets on the remote are to be used.
keys & MIDI - sends both.
Ü Using MIDI with the remote on page 11.
load holdoff
This determines the time in seconds that one of the encoder buttons must be held down for
before a stored setup is loaded. This should be set longer if the encoder buttons are also used
as controllers.
Ü Extra controller options with EVE/NET on page 4.
Ü Loading Setups on Orville using the Encoder Buttons on page 10.
versions
This displays the hardware/software version numbers of the connected remote. The first is that
of the panel assembly, the second that of the encoder assembly. These values will be
inconclusive if more than one remote is controlling the Orville. This information is mainly of
interest to service personnel.
Using one Orville to control another
Using EVE/NET, it is possible for one Orville to control another, so that they operate in tandem. For
this to make sense, both Orvilles should have the same version of software installed, and any User
Presets saved should be the same on each. When this is desired, it is best to set one Orville as the
master (sending keys) and the other(s) as slaves (sending nothing). Otherwise much confusion can
result.
To enable this, do the following:
Ÿ set the unit numbers on the Orvilles to the same value.
Ÿ set the master Orville to send keys or send keys & MIDI.
Ÿ set the slave Orvilles to send none.
Ÿ On the master Orville, load the desired presets. This will both make sure that all the Orvilles are
running the same preset, and make sure that they are displaying the same screens, i.e. they are in
step.
Now, the slave Orvilles will follow the master Orville, and, for example, two four channel systems
will act as an eight channel system.
