Please always make sure you do not destroy cables by getting them stuck betwen the system and its cover! This is especially important for the midi cables. The front covers have small sawed out notches to keep the MIDI cable safe from crushing.

If you have any questions about the procedures, ask riot

Setup

  • Park the movable walls somewhere
  • Make sure, the caroussell can rotate freely
  • Plug in the power plug
  • Uncover all the systems - repeat for each system
    • start by pulling them out (slightly ~5cm) and opening the locks on either side
    • Take off the cover
    • Make sure the latches are in the backward position (towards the center) and don't stick out
    • Slide the system back in, making sure the handle on top is flat
    • They can't really fall out if you only try to pull the top half as they're secured with a steel wire
  • Connect and adjust systems - repeat for each system
    • Turn down volume on the outputs (right bottom edge)
    • Plug in both XLR connectors (right bottom edge)
    • Make sure the MIDI connector is attached (should never be unattached)
    • Test sound by connecting a VCO to the output, be careful with increasing the volume

Teardown

  • Shutdown of systems (repeat for each system)
    • Unplug all the patch cables and store them in the hangers to the left or right
    • Lower volumes on output (right bottom edge) to zero
    • Unplug XLR cables and put them into the crevice right next to the system
    • Grab the front cover and orient the MIDI cable notch to the lower left
    • Pull out top of the system (5 cm)
    • Pull latches to the front
    • With one hand holding the system, attach the front plate - MAKE SURE THE MIDI CABLE IS FITTING IN THE NOTCH and is not destroyed
    • Close latches
    • Push back system
  • Make sure the patch cables are “balanced” in amount throughout the hangers (none too full or too empty)
  • Unplug power plug
  • Replace movable walls
