BSS VARICURVE™ REMOTE CONTROL

FIVE Monitor may be inserted into the MIDI loop of a BSS FPC-900 Varicurve™ Remote Control and Slave system (see diagram below.)

When so connected, pressing a SOLO on an Output of the FIVE Monitor will cause the necessary MIDI command to be sent to the Remote unit to SELECT the EQ associated with that Output, thus automatically bringing the EQ for the SOLO’ed channel onto the remote for editing.

This feature saves time when setting up and editing the EQ parameters for a Monitor rig, as the engineer no longer has to manually scroll through the various slave units to find the appropriate device to edit - a press of the SOLO on the FIVE Monitor will suffice.

Note that this function requires the Varicurve™ remote to be fitted with operating system EPROM V1.16 or above; contact BSS for further information.
