Audio Processors DME7
13. Audio Processors DME7
13.1. Overview
The DME7 is a freely configurable processor that allows you to place components as desired to freely design a system.
The DME7 can be operated from an external controller such as DCP/MCP1.
In the device sheet of DME7, your workflow consists of freely placing
Components
and then
Compile
the result.
Then, in communication with the DME7 unit, you’ll use the
Component editor
to edit the parameters.
The Trace Signal Path function allows the signal path to be displayed
(signal path display)
.
By using the Duplicate Port Label function, you the name of the starting port can be successively duplicated along the signal path
(input port name duplication)
.
Parameters are stored/recalled in the form of
Snapshot
.
Multiple parameters that you want to store/recall can be grouped
(Parameter Sets)
, and 100 sets of parameter values can be stored for each parameter set as snapshots.
Snapshots can also be recalled from a remote controller.
The initial values of a component, together with data that specifies the wiring between components, can be saved on a computer as a
User style
. By saving a user style, don’t have to change the settings each time you place a component. User styles can also be transferred to another computer.
Components and the wires between components can be encapsulated as a
User Defined Block
. By encapsulating multiple components as a single block, you can make the sheet look cleaner, or copy blocks to easily create the same functionality for other channels. By specifying “View Only” mode or “Protect” mode for individual blocks, you can protect blocks when
“Protect User Defined Block”
is executed.

13.6. "Components" area
Components are available for the Audio layer and Control layer respectively.
For details on components, refer to the "ProVisionaire Design Component Guide" .
13.7. Design sheet
Here you can place components and connect them.
Parameter settings are the main operations that you can perform while online. Operations such as placing and connecting components can only be done while offline.
13.7.1. Placing components
Here we explain how to place components on the design sheet.
| If any component in the “Components” area is selected, pressing an alphabetical key will select the component of the matching initial letter. |
-
Placing a single component
Drag a component from the list in the “Components” area and drop it on the design sheet.
-
Placing multiple instances of the same component
Double-click on a component in the “Components” area to select Stamp mode; in this mode, the component is placed each time you click the design sheet. To cancel Stamp mode, press < Esc > or click any component in the list.
-
Changing the number of channels for a component you placed
In the “Properties” area, click the property Form field; then click the […] that appears and select the desired number of channels. This cannot be changed on a component for which […] is not shown.
13.7.2. Selecting multiple components, ports, or wires
Here’s how to select multiple components placed in the design sheet, or multiple wires that connect ports of components.
-
Use the mouse cursor to completely enclose objects
Drag the mouse cursor to select the components, component ports, wires, and text that are completely enclosed by the rectangular area in the design sheet.
|
If the selection encloses an expanded User Defined Block, and the point at which you start dragging is on the style sheet, then the objects on the style sheet are selected. If
the point at which you start dragging is on a User Defined Block, then objects on the User Defined Block are selected. |
-
Hold down < Ctrl > and use the mouse cursor to completely or partially enclose objects
Hold down < Ctrl > and drag the mouse cursor to select the components, component ports, wires, and text that are completely or partially enclosed by the rectangular area in the design sheet.
| If the selection encloses an expanded User Defined Block, and the point at which you start dragging is on the style sheet, then the objects on the style sheet and the User Defined Block are selected. If the point at which you start dragging is on a User Defined Block, then objects on the User Defined Block are selected. |
-
Hold down < Ctrl > and click objects
Hold down < Ctrl > and click the target that you want to select.
If you hold down < Ctrl > and click an object that is already selected, the selection is cleared. This is convenient when you have selected multiple objects by enclosing them, and then want to de-select one of the selected objects.
| If objects in a User Defined Block and on the style sheet are simultaneously selected, there are some limitations on operation; for example, you can’t move components. |
13.7.3. Connecting ports
Here we explain how to make connections between ports of components by creating a wire between the ports.
-
Making one connection at a time
Drag one output port to the input port of the destination component.
-
Making multiple connections at a time
Select multiple output ports, and drag one of these ports to an input port of the destination component.
13.7.4. Tracing the signal path
Here we explain how to view the signal path.
To view the signal path, click the
Trace Signal Path button on the toolbar or add a check mark to the [Tools] menu → [Trace Signal Path] command.
-
Click a wire
The path of the signal flowing through that wire is shown. -
Click a port
The path of the signal flowing through that port is shown.
If the signal path is connected but no audio signal flows because it is turned OFF or the level is minimized, the signal path is shown as a dashed line.
13.7.5. Duplicating an input port name
If you want to use the signal name as the port name, it is convenient to duplicate the port name.
Here we explain how to automatically duplicate the input port name.
In general, the input port name is automatically duplicated to the input port of the connection destination component, but the following exceptions apply.
-
For a mixer-type component or a component that has only an output, the output port name is duplicated to the input port of the connection-destination.
-
If the duplication-source port name is blank, it is not automatically duplicated.
| If the port name has already been specified, the port name is overwritten by the automatic duplication. |
-
Automatically duplicating the port name when components are connected
If [Tools] menu → [Duplicate Port Label] has a check mark, the port name is automatically duplicated when you make a connection between components.
-
Duplicating the port name of components along the signal path
In the context menu that appears when you right-click a port or component, choose [Duplicate Port Label - to the right] or [Duplicate Port Label - to the left]; the input port name is duplicated to the input port of the following or preceding components.
However if a mixer-type component exists within this path, duplication stops at the mixer-type component.
13.7.6. About [Unbundle Wires]
After you have placed all of the necessary components and have finished creating wires between them, you can select all components and execute [Unbundle Wires] to prevent the wires from overlapping in the display.
When you execute [Unbundle Wires], the items in the “Properties” area for the components and the wires connected to the components are set to the following values.
| Item | Value | |
|---|---|---|
|
Component |
Output Wiring Step |
An appropriate value will automatically be displayed. |
|
Input Wiring Step |
An appropriate value will automatically be displayed. |
|
|
Wire |
Wire Routing |
Automatic |
|
Auto Block Avoidance |
False |
If you want to selectively change the spacing between the wires, perform the operation above, and then change the [Output Wiring Step] or [Input Wiring Step] values.
If you don’t want wires to overlap when you’re making connections, execute the following procedure.
-
Place all components.
-
Select all components, and execute [Unbundle Wires].
-
Make one connection between components, and select the wire.
-
Set the wire’s [Wire Routing] to [Automatic], and set [Auto Block Avoidance] to [False].
-
Click the [Save Style] button to save the wire’s user style to the computer.
Subsequently when you connect wires, they are shown without overlapping.
13.7.7. Duplicating components
Here we explain how to duplicate components together with their parameters.
-
Right-click a component and choose [Duplicate]
A duplicate, overlapping component is created. If multiple components with their wires are selected when you choose [Duplicate], the components are duplicated together with their wires.
-
Drag and drop a component while holding down < Ctrl >
A duplicate is created where you drop the component.
-
Drag and drop multiple components with their wires while holding down < Ctrl >
Duplicates of the components together with their wires are created where you drop the component.
13.8. Design sheet: Audio layer
This layer enables you to place audio components to create a configuration.
You can control audio signals by wiring between audio components.
13.8.1. Audio Component
For more information on how to use the component editor, refer to Chapter 12.
For details on components, refer to the
"ProVisionaire Design Component Guide"
.
13.9. Design sheet: Control layer
This layer handles control signals.
You can manipulate control signals by wiring between the control components or audio components.
Control components can be manipulated via changes in parameters or meters for the audio components. Audio components can be manipulated via changes in parameters for the control components.
You can also place snapshots in the Control layer, which can be treated as part of the configuration.
Control Component
For more information on how to use the component editor, refer to Chapter 12.
For details on components, refer to the
"ProVisionaire Design Component Guide"
.
13.9.1. Using the audio component parameters in the Control layer
-
Select the Audio layer.
-
Select the “Parameters” area, and then select the audio component in the sheet.
In the Control PINs column, add a check mark to the check box for the desired parameters. The audio component is placed in the Control layer, too.
If you turn off the “Layer Link” command (one of the Tools buttons), the position of the audio component placement will be asynchronized (unlinked) between the Audio layer and Control layer.
-
Place the control component in the Control layer and do the necessary wiring.
-
Turn on the [Control Function] button
and manipulate the control component parameters to simulate the operation.
| You cannot edit the configuration while the [Control Function] button is turned on. |
13.9.2. Controlling a Snapshot and ParamSet in the control component
You can control a snapshot and parameter set in the control component.
For more information on the parameter set and snapshot, refer to the “’Parameter Sets’ area” section.
■ An example of control using the Snapshot component
-
Drag and drop a snapshot from “Snapshot” in the “Parameter Set” area to the Control layer. The Snapshot component appears in the Control layer.
-
Snapshot is recalled when a signal is input to the input port.
-
When the snapshot is recalled, “1” is output from the output port.
■ An example of control using the ParamSet component
You can also control a snapshot using the ParamSet component. In this section, two control examples are introduced: using Snaspshot pins, and using a Sel pin.
[1] An example of control using Snapshot pins
-
Drag and drop the Parameter Set in the “Parameter Sets” area to the Control layer. The Param.Set component that includes multiple Snapshot components appears in the Control layer.
-
Select Parameter Set in the “Parameters” area, and then click the “+” mark next to “Snapshot” to expand the snapshot list.
-
Add a check mark to the check box for a desired Snapshot number in the Control PINs column. Input/output ports are added to the components on the sheet. The recall method is the same as the "■ An example of control using the Snapshot component".
[2] An example of control using a Sel pin
-
Select Parameter.Set in the “Parameters” area, and then add a check mark to "Sel" in the Control PINs check box, it will be added to the input port of the component on the sheet.
-
Enter a desired number (1 to 100) into the Sel input pin. The Snapshot component corresponding to that number is recalled. (At this time, the output pin for this component outputs “1.”)
13.10. Components other than audio or control components
13.10.1. Transmitter/Receiver
This function wirelessly connects components that are located at a distance from each other on the design sheet.
The Transmitter component and Receiver component of the same component label are connected.
If there are multiple ports, identically-numbered ports are connected to each other. One Transmitter component can be connected to multiple Receiver components.
When placing this component in the design sheet, select the component label and the number of channels. Either enter a new name as the component label, or select a component label with which it will be associated. As the number of channels, select the number of channels that you want to use.
When you select a wire and press < Space >, a Transmitter component and Receiver component are added.
If you hold down the mouse button in the middle of a connection and press < Space >, a Transmitter component or Receiver component is created.
13.10.2. User Defined Block
Components and the wires between components can be encapsulated as a User Defined Block. By encapsulating multiple components as a single block, you can make the style sheet look cleaner, or copy blocks to easily create the same functionality for other channels.
A protect function is provided for User Defined Block. By protecting it, you can prevent another person from changing the configuration or parameters, or prevent them from looking inside.
Here’s how to place a User Defined Block.
-
Drag and drop from the “Component” area. (An empty block is placed.)
-
With the components selected, right-click and choose [Create User Defined Block]. (This places a block that contains the selected components.)
-
With the components selected, choose [Edit] menu → [Create User Defined Block]. (This places a block that contains the selected components.)
When placing a User Defined Block, specify the number of inputs and outputs as a block. The number of inputs and outputs can be changed later in “Form” of the “Properties” area. The inputs and outputs directly connect components outside the block with components inside the block.
To show or hide the contents of a block, click the [+]/[–] in the upper left of the block, or doubleclick the block.
Components in a block can be placed, connected, and edited in the same way as in a design sheet.
With a block selected, you can drag and drop the top, bottom, left, or right corners to expand or shrink the block. With an expanded block selected, you can drag and drop the top, bottom, left, or right edges to move the block on the design sheet.
Here’s how to unpack a User Defined Block.
-
Right-click the block and choose [Unpack User Defined Block].
-
With the block selected, choose [Edit] menu → [Unpack User Defined Block].
There are three User Defined Block protection modes.
-

13.15.4. "GPI" dialog box
To open this dialog box, click [GPI] from the [Tools] button in the “Device” sheet.
GPI stands for General Purpose Interface. By using the GPI input/output, you can remotely control the DME7 via custom-made controllers or external devices. A controller that is connected to the GPI input connector can be used to switch snapshots on the DME7 or to control the parameters of components.
Display devices such as LEDs and lamps or external control equipment made by other manufacturers can be connected to the GPI output connector, letting you control the external device according to the state of presets or parameters.
For hardware-related details such as how to connect the [GPI] connector, refer to the owner’s guide of each unit.
There are two methods to set up the GPI input.
・ Using the “GPI Input” dialog box, which you can access from the [Tools] button in the “Device” sheet.
Use this method to execute a single function via a single port input.
・Adding the GPI Input component to the Control layer in the “Device” sheet, and using the editor to set it up.
Use this method if you wish to control multiple parameters or functions simultaneously via a single input port, or if you wish to manipulate a complex operation by combining multiple control components.
* For GPI input, both the settings in the dialog box and the settings by the GPI Input component in the Control layer will be executed simultaneously.
There are two methods to set up the GPI output.
・Using the “GPI Output” dialog box, which you can access from the [Tools] buttons in the “Device” sheet.
Use this method to output a signal via a single output port based on a single operation as the factor.
・Adding the GPI Output component to the Control layer in the “Device” sheet, and using the editor to set it up.
Use this method if you wish to output a signal via a single output port based on multiple operations as the factor, or if you wish to execute a complex operation by combining multiple control components.
* The Output Port Type setting is linked between this dialog box and the GPI Output component in the Control layer.

• The threshold value at which on/off switching will occur will be the middle value between the maximum and minimum input voltage values (the value equal to the sum of the maximum and minimum values divided by two). To prevent malfunctions, you should allow plenty of room for detection (see “GPI Calibration” dialog box).
• If the voltage has dropped because of cable length or noise, use the “GPI Calibration” dialog box to adjust the maximum and minimum input voltage values. Since voltage may become unstable, configure and set up your external circuit to ensure that there is ample distance between the maximum and minimum values. |
