iCore Software
iCore software gives the user instant and intuitive control over all the parameters of a single DC1048 via USB, or a network of them via RS485. Units appear in a “rack” and metering of all units is shown in the status window. A quick click on either the meters or the unit brings it up for editing. It also supports all 4 Series units and a range of MC2 Ti-Series amplifiers, breakout boxes, and processing.
The mixer window accesses the matrix mixing, and main in/out gain controls, delays, mutes, phase and via three sub windows, limiters and parameter linkage.
Output PEQ is adjusted in real time via dragging of nodes, or direct numerical entry if desired. All parameter data can be copied form one channel, or from an entire device, to another channel/device. Crossover filters are also defined on this window, and individual PEQ bands can have their type selected from a palette of multiple behaviours including standard bell response, shelving response, notch, bandpass, elliptical (for use in creating high order roll-off filters) and phase filters.
As well as storage and recall of presets within the unit(and loading and saving individual presets as preset files that may be emailed), automated timed preset recalls can be programmed. These may be one-shot recalls or scene changes set to happen on a regular basis, to guarantee your system will be the way you left it the next day, even if someone has been adjusting things! The clock and calendar in the unit automatically syncs with the PC’s clock every time you go on-line ensuring everything stays up to date. (DC1048 only).
