[. . . ] To switch to Insert Edit mode to control plug-in parameters, press the INSERT EDIT/SELECT TOGGLE button. If you want to select a different insert slot for editing, press the button in the top left-hand row on the ReMOTE SL that corresponds to that slot in Insert Select mode. If there is a plug-in already loaded into that insert slot then the ReMOTE SL will automatically switch to Insert Edit mode. Up to 8 parameters of the currently selected plug-in will appear on the left-hand ReMOTE SL display (4 on the top line and 4 on the bottom line): Use buttons 1-4 to control the parameters shown on the top line and encoders 1-4 to control parameters shown on the bottom line. The page number will appear on the left-hand ReMOTE SL display as you scroll. Press the INSERT SELECT/EDIT TOGGLE button to return to Insert Select mode once you have finished editing plug-in parameters. When in Insert Select or Insert Edit mode, the selected track/insert slot on the ReMOTE SL will follow what you select onscreen using the mouse so it is not necessary to select different tracks or insert slots from the ReMOTE SL hardware. To exit Insert mode press either the 2nd or 3rd ROW-SELECT button on the left-hand side of the ReMOTE SL. ExtraFunctions Some extra functions are available from the ReMOTE SL when using the Pro Tools Automap template. To access these, press and hold the FUNCTION (DRUM PAD ROW-SELECT) button. The right-hand ReMOTE SL display will then show the extra functions: With the FUNCTION button held down, the upper right-hand row of buttons can be pressed to activate these functions: Edit:Brings the Pro Tools edit window to the foreground. AltView:Brings the window of the currently selected plug-in to the foreground. End:Moves wiper to end of project. 49 10. 4 DIGITAL PERFORMER Setup 1. When given the option to update the unit, select to `Install Digital Performer HUI Support'. 2. On the ReMOTE SL, press the GLOBAL menu button to enter the Global menu, scroll up to the 3rd page and set the HUI parameter to `ON', then press WRITE to save the setting and the PLAY mode button to return to Play mode. Make sure the ReMOTE SL is connected to your computer and switched on, then launch Digital Performer. Select `Bundles' from the `Studio' menu in Digital Performer and select the `MIDI Devices' tab in the Bundles window. Add two new devices using the `Add' button at the bottom of the window and rename them `ReMOTE SL Port 1' and `ReMOTE SL Port 2' respectively. Set the input and output for these devices (by clicking on the boxes) as shown in the following screenshot: 6. Select `Control Surface Setup. . . ' from the `Setup' menu in Digital Performer. In the setup window, add a control surface using the `+' button then select `HUI' from the `Driver' drop-down menu and `ReMOTE SL Port 2-1' from the `MIDI' drop-down menu. Make sure `Listen to control surfaces in background' is enabled, then click `OK'. 50 The MOTU DP Automap template (Template 34) must be selected on the ReMOTE SL when using it in Digital Performer Automap mode. [. . . ] The templates follow the general synth parameter layout but additional arpeggiator parameters are assigned to the upper right-hand buttons. Before using these templates you must copy two mapping files to your computer. Locate the files `midic00. rgc' and `midicfg. txt' in the z3ta+ resources folder on the ReMOTE SL DVD and copy them to the directory in which the z3ta+ plug-in is installed (your VST plug-ins folder). The ReMOTE SL z3ta+ templates will then map correctly to the software, mainly following the general synth parameter layout. [. . . ]
