How to change the audio scales and the ballistics on the Kaleido-K2?
It is possible to change the ballistic and the scale of an Audio Meter Component from an online Layout or from an offline Layout (an offline Layout is a Layout that is not the Layout currently displayed by a Kaleido-K2).
Modifying the ballistic and the scale of an Audio Meter in an online Layout
If it is not already opened in your KEdit, open the Layout of the Kaleido-K2 containing the Audio Meter to modify:
Now it is time to modify the Audio Meter:
- Click on the Audio Meter to modify.
- Open the "Configuration Panel" by pressing "F5" or by double-clicking on the Component or by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu. It should display information on the selected Audio Meter.
- Click on the "Appearance" tab. The fields of this tab will allow you to configure the ballistic and the scale to use for the selected Audio Meter.
- In the "Meter Option" section, indicate the ballistic to use: you can select "VU", "Peak" or both. While selecting the ballistic to use you should see that the scale to use is modified to use the default scale related to the selected ballistic.
- If the selected scale is not the one you want to use for this Audio Meter you can select another one from the list. This list contains the names of the audio scales available on the Kaleido-K2. If no scale satisfies your needs, you can modify or create a scale:
To modify an existing scale:
- Be sure the audio scale is the one selected in the Scale drop down list.
- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- Configure the colors to use for each phase and the value representing the boundaries of the phases.
- Click on the "Save" button.
To create a new audio scale:- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- Configure the colors to use for each phase and the value representing the boundaries of the phases.
- Click on the "Save As..." button.
- A dialog will appear. In this dialog you can either choose to save the audio scale under an existing name (doing so will overwrite the existing audio scale) or type a new name in the "Scale Name" text field.
- Click on the "Save" button.
- Click on the "Apply" button located at the bottom of the dialog to apply the selected ballistic and audio scale to the Audio Meter.
Your Audio Meter now uses the configured ballistic and Audio Scale.
Note that if you modified an Audio Scale, then every Audio Meter that is associated to this Audio Scale will have the modification.
You can assign the modified Layout to a preset. To do so using the Kaleido RCP press and hold the function key (those keys are located to the top of the device) for at least 6 seconds to associate it with the Layout. Using a keyboard connected to your Kaleido-K2 press a function key (F1 through F10) for at least 6 seconds to associate it with the Layout.
Modifying the ballistic and the scale of an Audio Meter of an offline Layout
If it is not already opened, open the Layout containing the Audio Meter to modify by selecting "File..." from the "Open" item of the "File" menu or by pressing "Ctrl-F".
Now it is time to modify the Audio Meter:
- Click on the Audio Meter to modify.
- Open the "Configuration Panel" by pressing "F5" or by double-clicking on the Component or by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu. It should display information on the selected Audio Meter.
- Click on the "Appearance" tab. The fields of this tab will allow you to configure the ballistic and the scale to use for the selected Audio Meter.
- In the "Meter Option" section, indicate the ballistic to use: you can select "VU", "Peak" or both. While selecting the ballistic to use you should see that the scale to use is modified to use the default scale related to the selected ballistic.
- If the selected scale is not the one you want to use for this Audio Meter you can select another one from the list. This list contains the names of the audio scales available on the Kaleido-K2. If no scale satisfies your needs, you can modify or create an audio scale:
To modify an existing audio scale:
- Be sure the audio scale is the one selected in the Scale drop down list.
- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- Configure the colors to use for each phase and the value representing the boundaries of the phases.
- Click on the "Save" button.
To create a new audio scale:- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- Configure the colors to use for each phase and the value representing the boundaries of the phases.
- Click on the "Save As..." button.
- A dialog will appear. In this dialog you can either choose to save the audio scale under an existing name (doing so will overwrite the existing audio scale) or type a new name in the "Scale Name" text field.
- Click on the "Save" button.
- Click on the "Apply" button located at the bottom of the dialog to apply the selected ballistic and audio scale to the selected Audio Meter.
Save your modified Layout by selecting "Save" from the "File" menu or by pressing "Ctrl-S".
Note that if you modified an Audio Scale, then every Audio Meter that is associated to this Audio Scale will have the modification.
Applying the Layout online on a Kaleido-K2
If you modified or created a new Audio Scale you must also export it while exporting the modified Layout to the Kaleido-K2 of your choice in order to be able to use it. If you chose to modify an existing audio scale or if you created an audio scale with the same name used by another audio scale the previous one will be overwritten and the Layouts using this audio scale will use the one you just exported.
Here are the steps to take in order to include the audio scales in the files exported to the Kaleido-K2 when exporting the modified Layout:
- In your KEdit with the Layout to apply opened select "Apply Layout Online" from the "File" menu or press "Alt-A". The "Apply Layout Online..." dialog will appear.
- Select the destination Kaleido-K2 from the list of the detected Kaleido-K2.
- In the "Exporting data from KEdit" area select at least "Audio Scales": this means that the files containing the audio scales used by your Layout will be copied to your Kaleido-K2.
- Click on the "Load" button.
Your Layout and the audio scale files are now copied on your Kaleido-K2. The Layout that is currently displayed on the selected Kaleido-K2 is the Layout you just applied. You can assign the modified Layout to a preset key of the Kaleido RCP by pressing and holding one of the 10 function keys located at the top of the device for at least 6 seconds. If you're using a keyboard instead of the Kaleido RCP, press one of the 10 function keys (F1 through F10) on your keyboard for at least 6 seconds to assign the modified Layout to a preset key.
