groovereiter Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hi,I read in the wiki that you can use standard faders instead of motorfaders for the LC application.But how do I connect them? Do I still need the MF Module or is there any way to use my AIN?I just couldn't find this answer (unlike every other I was looking for - great documentation/forum).Finally I'm getting the rest of the needed parts (after 1 1/2 years) and this is the only big thing I need to know to make my box complete. So pleeease help me.Thanks in advance,groovereiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 just leave the MF-module out and connect the middle pin of the slider to one AIN. the outer pins should be connected to +5V and GND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovereiter Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks for your answer.I'm happy to hear that the AIN can be used, I thought it wasn't supperted by the LC app.Is it possible to get the 9th fader (master) with the AIN?With the motorfaders you only get 8 (if I understood right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm happy to hear that the AIN can be used, I thought it wasn't supperted by the LC app.well... now that makes me feel a bit doubtful whether it's right what i've said... ::)Can you tell me where you've read that?But I'm 100% sure that it's possible to use the MF-module with non-motorised-faders.With the motorfaders you only get 8 (if I understood right)yep. But it could be possible to connect more than 1 MF-module to the core. you should look that up.But as long as you just use 1 MF-module you're able to connect 8 (or less) faders.Is it possible to get the 9th fader (master) with the AIN?A DINx1 supports 8 analog inputs. If you need 9 AINs you can build your own DINx2 board (16 inputs) or you can order an common DINx4 from smash or mike and just leave the 2 multiplexers away as you don't need them.BUT (!) after your post I'm not 100% sure that you can use AINs with the LC-application. AND (!) I don't know anything about the LC-protocol. I don't know whether a 9th fader will work.matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hi,just to clear up things a little bit:In theory you can use 8 Faders without connecting a MF module.The faders are connected as mentioned in the PDF (LC) to J5 of the CORE.I never tried it ....You only can connect 8 Faders that way.As far as I know, AIN is not supported in the LC by default.Is it possible to get the 9th fader (master) with the AIN?A DINx1 supports 8 analog inputs. If you need 9 AINs you can build your own DINx2 board (16 inputs) or you can order an common DINx4 from smash or mike and just leave the 2 multiplexers away as you don't need them.A Fader cannot be connected to a DIN!Originally the Mackie has a 9th Fader as Master. If you want this Fader you can assign one Fader as Masterfader in the Source. If you want 8 Fader plus Master you'll have to build two Cores. It is not possible to have more than 8 Faders with a single core under the LC.Generally you have to consider that a LC doesn't make very much sense without motorized Faders.For example, if you switch between two banks (ch1-8 to ch 9-16) your faders won't follow... If you want non-motorized faders perhaps a MB64(e) would be the better solution for you.greetsDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 A Fader cannot be connected to a DIN!sure. :-[I've been tired... it was a stupid mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
