Plugin Preset Configuration Object

Presets can be handled two ways:

1. Point directly to the snapshot name using the first method below. This will not provide feedback.

"properties": {
	"presets": {
		"preset-1": {
			"label": "System On",
			"preset": "PRESETS 1 0"
		},
		"preset-2": {
			"label": "System Off",
			"preset": "PRESETS 2 0"
		},
		"preset-3": {
			"label": "Default Levels",
			"preset": "PRESETS 3 0"
		}
	}
}

2. Another option is to give each preset a named control in the DSP. This is done on the QSC side by opening the snapshot component and giving the "Preset Recall" button a named control. This allows for true and half-state feedback. Half-state feedback is when the preset was the last recalled preset in the grouping but the DSP state no longer matches the preset state. To define presets in this manner use the following config object. Note it is placed with the level control blocks.

To control from SIMPL, use the analog level input and output on the object. Triggering any analog value above 0 will active the preset. Feedback is 0=inactive, 1=half-state, 2=active.

    "levelControlBlocks":
    {
	"preset-1":
	{
	    "label": "Default Levels",
	    "levelInstanceTag": "DEFAULT",
	    "disabled": false,
	    "hasLevel": true,
	    "useAbsoluteValue": true
	}
    }

SiMPL EISC Bridge Map

The selection below documents the digital, analog, and serial joins used by the SiMPL EISC. Update the bridge join maps as needed for the plugin being developed.

When instantiating multiple dialers joins start @ 3100 and use digital/analog/serial joins in blocks of 50. For example, Dialer 2 would start @ 3150.

Digitals

Analogs

Serials
