Rane Welder RPM 26z 用户手册

Manual-1

PROGRAMMABLE MULTIPROCESSOR

WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.

This section is intended to help you make the physical connec-

tions and software manipulations necessary to get up and run-

ning with your sleek new RPM 26z. If you don’t read the entire 

Hardware Manual, at least read this section. It is also recom-

mended that you read the Quick Start section of the Drag Net 

Software Manual. If the Drag Net software is not yet installed 

on your computer, please install it now. 

To be safe, leave the audio connections until last. Begin by 

connecting the IEC power cord. Observe that the POWER LED 

on the front panel illuminates. After a few seconds, the STATUS 

LED should turn from red to yellow to green, and the PRESET 

display should have a number in it (00, if it’s the first time you’ve 

powered the device). If the POWER comes on, but the STATUS 

LED does not turn green, contact the factory.

Connect one end of the Ethernet crossover cable (supplied 

with the unit) to the 10Base-T jack on the rear panel. Connect 

the other end of the cable to an Ethernet port on your computer. 

The LINK LED on the rear panel should be lit. If it is not, 

verify that you are indeed using a crossover cable, not a standard 

Ethernet cable. A standard Ethernet cable should only be used 

if you are connecting the RPM 26z and a computer indirectly 

using an Ethernet switch. Launch the Drag Net application 

and follow the steps to create a new project and new RPM 

26z device configuration. Click the Configure Hardware IP 

shortcut and follow the instructions to set the unit’s IP address 

to be compatible with your computer’s Network settings. Tip: If 

Now click on the Poll button in the toolbar. A device name 

and IP address should appear under the Live folder in the 

Project window. If a device does not appear, consult Drag Net’s 

online Help for instructions on configuring and verifying your 

computer’s Network settings.

The audio path within the RPM 26z is displayed in Drag 

Net’s Device Configuration window as a collection of blocks 

wired together to form a Processing Map. These maps are cre-

ated offline as Storage configurations, which are then trans-

ferred to a Live unit. Drag blocks from the Palette onto the 

Processing Map and wire them together to create the audio 

path. Save this file frequently using the File > Save command. 

Transfer the selected Storage configuration to a Live unit using 

the Transfer Config button in the Project window. A new, 

minty green Device Configuration window opens once the 

transfer is complete, indicating you are now online with a Live 

device. Double-click a processing block to display and adjust its 

Properties (parameters) in real time on a Live device — there 

is no need to go offline to make parameter changes. 

Once you have a useful configuration in the unit, connect 

balanced audio INPUTS and OUTPUTS to the Euroblocks on 

the rear panel, then turn on the amplifier. As a precautionary 

measure, all outputs are muted during and after a configuration 

transfer. Unmute each output individually, or use the handy 

Mute Outputs button in the toolbar. Once all outputs are 

unmuted, audio passes through the unit along the connections 

you defined.
