Ashly Protea System II 4.24RD Operating Manual
4.4 WITH PROTEA SYSTEM SOFTWARE
Ashly PROTEA SYSTEM SOFTWARE adds flex-
ibility by allowing comprehensive system control of main
or slave units from a PC using the RS-232 Serial port.
Note:
the Data Config
Switch (Switch "B" On
Slaves) must be pressed
"IN" only on the unit con-
nected directly to the PC,
and only if additional units
are connected through the
XLR Data cables.

5. KEYBOARD CONTROL FEATURES

5.1 Bank

The four BANK keys are
only used on the MASTER Protea unit
when multiple units are chained to-
gether in a system. Note: The 4.24G
is shipped from the factory in SLAVE
mode, which disables the Bank keys,
but can be changed to Master status
in the UserPrefs Menu section, en-
abling the Bank keys and correspond-
ing LED indicators. Once this is
done, each Bank key along with a
Channel key selects a MIDI channel.

5.2 Channel

The four Channel keys determine which LOCAL CHANNEL becomes the CURRENT CHANNEL. A green
LED shows which Channel is currently selected to the display for editing. All four Channels will always remain
active, regardless of which Channel is selected as the Current Channel. Note: On the Master unit of a multi-unit
system, the four local channels are automatically assigned to Bank A, or MIDI channels 1-4.
* * * Channel Linking
If you desire one or more Local Channels to track the Current Channel, the Protea system allows CHANNEL
LINKING. This forces one, two, or even all three Local Channels' settings to become identical to and dependent on the
Current Channel, regardless of their previous settings. To link a channel, first select the Current Channel key and
simultaneously press and hold the channel key you wish to link, repeating if multiple channels are being linked. Once
the link is established, the lowest numbered Local Channel that is linked will become the current, dominant channel,
