INTRODUCTION

This section contains an introduction to the mainframe concept as this idea may be new to

some people in the audio business. It is also an introduction to this manual, which is built up

in text modules in order to be updated easily. If you later receive a manual module, insert it in

the right place and check the appropriate box. This section contains the following text

modules:

THE MAINFRAME CONCEPT

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

MAINFR. INTRO

Rev 1.0 Page 2

THE M5000 MAINFRAME CONCEPT

WHY A MAINFRAME ?

The purpose of the mainframe concept is the flexibility to keep up with the ever evolving state

of technology. New inventions developed because of the advancing needs of professional

engineers can be implemented in the mainframe without he need to scrap a valued piece of

equipment. Furthermore, only one user interface is needed to control several modules, i.e. the

front panel of the ATAC is controlling one module at the time, although all modules installed

are active. (Shown on fig. 1 is M5000).

Fig. 1

HARDWARE

The modules are installed in 4 slots placed on the rear panel. Each module is held in with only

2 screws which makes replacement of hardware for updates and upgrades very easy. Once

placed into the slot the module is connected to a high speed 24 bit audio bus. 24 bit makes the

M5000 well prepared for the future as 24 bit conversion is not likely to be exceeded for many

years to come. The AD/DA converter features 18 bit resolution 64 times oversampling in, 20

bit out. The 24 bit audio bus features up to 64 audio channels which makes the M5000

"patchable" for almost any purpose (fig. 2).

SOFTWARE

As the M5000 is totally software controlled it is essential that also the software is easily

exchanged. New algorithms and programs will be available to you in different categories.

Some of the programs will be created by other M5000 users and will be available as public

domain software, i.e. users can share programs/sounds for free. Other programs and

algorithms will be created by well known engineers and musicians. There is more information

MAINFR. INTRO

M5INTRO

Rev 1.0 Page 3

on the User Registration Form which we highly recommend that you return to the nearest TC

office or to the head office in Denmark.

New software will be available in 2 ways: Floppy Disk or Memory Card. Moreover, software

can be loaded into the M5000 via MIDI from another M5000 or from a computer with a MIDI

interface (IBMtm compatible, Macintoshtm or Ataritm). An electronic bulletin board has been

established at TC's head office, so if you have a modem connected to your computer you can

get the latest software and information on the M5000. Here you can download the necessary

software for dumping software from your computer to the M5000. More on this in

APPENDIX F.

DSP

Fig. 2

FLOPPY DISK

The floppy disk is IBMtm compatible and can be copied on any IBM/clone PC. You can

borrow a colleague's disk if he should have the latest software version and transfer this

software into the permanent memory of the M5000. If your colleague has been charged for

this software the M5000 will prompt you for a unique access code in order to install the

software in your machine. As soon as you have the access code your M5000 will accept the

new software installation. So, where do you get the access code ? You call your dealer or TC.

sales office and on basis of information provided by you (serial number, software type,

payment method, etc.) this access code is generated. More information about this system will

MAINFR. INTRO

M5INTRO

Rev 1.0 Page 4

be provided to registered M5000 owners as the first chargeable software updates become

available.

MEMORY CARD

Software updates may be installed just as easy using the memory card. The memory card is a

credit card sized card which exists in many different types and capacities. The M5000

supports the JEIDA, PCMCIA type card, a world-wide portable computer standard.

A freelance engineer often works on different gear. In this situation it is easy to bring his own

programs stored on the memory card and install them in the different M5000s without

overwriting the existing programs. This is more thoroughly explained in the "PROGRAM

HANDLING"-module in GENERAL INSTRUCTION SECTION.

SOFT/HARDWARE FUTURE OPTIONS

When new software packages are released, they will allow the M5000 owners to listen and try

these for a limited active time - free of charge, thus enabling the user to hear and try the new

sounds on your own machine, before purchase !

New hardware modules are also planned in the future.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This section contains description of the general functions and procedures for the mainframe,

no matter what hardware or software configuration you have. As the user interface is the same

for all algorithms installed the global parameters are described in this section. The section

contains the following text modules:

Rev 1.0 Page 2

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

FRONT PANEL M5000

1. POWER SWITCH The main power On/Off switch.

2. DEVICE SELECTOR Selects between the installed kits to be operated

from the mainframe front panel controls. The LED's

and labels correspond to the configured kits.

3. LOAD LED Lit while parameters/programs are being updated

TIMECODE LED Lit when receiving timecode

MIDI IN LED Lit when receiving MIDI

DIGITAL IN Lit when receiving at digital inputs and SAMRATE

is locked

LAN/SCSI Lit when reading and writing data

4. DISPLAY 80 character alphanumeric display. The top line is

divided into 5 sections and tells which 4 parameters

and which algorithm is currently being modified.

The bottom line is dedicated to the five "soft dials"

that are directly below it and displays the 4

parameter values and the program name.

5. ROM, RAM, FILE ROM indicates that the factory program bank is

selected for RECALL, STORE or PREVIEW. RAM

indicates that the user program bank is selected.

FILE indicates that programs relate to an external

file on memory card or floppy disk.

6. PROGRAM NUMBER Shows either the origin of the current setting or, if

blinking, the current previewed program. If the

current setting has been edited the small EDITED

LED will be lit.

7. LEVEL METER Dual 10 segment LED bargraph. Displays the input

or output level on the DSP-module. Red light

indicates DSP overload.

8. DISK DRIVE Disk drive for updating software and storage of

programs. The M5000 can be updated with new

algorithms through the disk drive.

9. MEMORY CARD SLOT Load and stores programs into the M5000. Makes

transfer of "personal" programs from one M5000 to

another very easy by means of the “credit card"-like

memory card.

10. VIEWING ANGLE Makes the alphanumeric display readable at almost

any angle.

11. PAGE BUTTONS As there are more parameters to edit than possible to

show at the same time the page buttons scrolls

through the parameters on the display.

12. SOFT DIALS A, B, C, D Used for editing the parameter values on the display

just above.

13. PROGRAM DIAL Turn this dial to preview the programs. Also used

when recalling, storing and renaming programs. The

top line on the display shows the current algorithm

type. The bottom line shows the name of the

program.

14. DO, UNDO BUTTONS When operating the M5000 many functions will not

be executed until DO is pressed, e.g. turning the

program dial will not execute the program until DO

is pressed. The UNDO button enables you to com-

pare edited program with the original.

15. PROGRAM BUTTON Press this button to select program source, store or

rename programs.

16. EDIT BUTTON Press this button to edit the parameters in the current

program. As soon as a stored program is edited the

small 'edited' LED in the program number display

will be lit until it is stored again.

17. UTILITY BUTTON The UTILITY mode enables the user to access

various utility menus for setting the selected kit.

18. BYPASS BUTTON Press this button to bypass the current kit controlled

by the mainframe, corresponding to the selected

devices (2).
