This function can be used to configure the OASIS control integration. It allows the mc2 control surface to act as a hardware controller for a Pyramix workstation or Ovation media server and sequencer.
Up to 256 channel strips can be remotely controlled from the console's GPCs. The integration includes not only Fader, Mute, etc. but also all mappable items of the Pyramix channel strip like EQ and Dynamics. Furthermore, machine control of Pyramix integrates seamlessly with the console.
When configuring the mc2, the variables are as follows.
- Number of GPCs - determines how many GPCs are used for the integration (up to 256).
- First GPC Channel and First OASIS Strip/Bus - define the mapping of the channels.
- If both fields are set to 1, GPC 1 (on the console) controls Input Strip 1 (in Pyramix).
- Within Pyramix, the Input Strips and Buses are counted continuously. So, for example, if there are 32 Input Strips and 1 Bus in Pyramix, then GPC 33 controls the Bus.
- Enable Button - enables the remote control connection. It can be assigned to any central user button.
- Solo Button and Rec Arm Button - enable the Pyramix Solo and Rec arm. They can be assigned to any of the fader strip user buttons.
