BSS Audio FDS 355, User Manual

2 4

NOTE: You can select either band in order to adjust the crossover - the lower

band or upper band - and either adjustment will move both band edges

together, updating the data for the other band.

EDGE

When set to Edge mode, each band edge is adjustable independently. This

allows the possibility to create band overlaps at the crossover point.

Utilities menu

Defaults to 'Off'. This function allows the user to make subtle adjustments to a

setup, and then compare the changes to the original setup.
With this facility turned on, the store and recall buttons are reprogrammed to

perform backup and recall respectively. Pressing the Store (Backup) button

will copy the current setup to the internal clipboard. Changes can then be

made to the setup, and then the Recall (Swap) button can be pressed to toggle

between the two setups to compare them audibly. This function has no effect

in the following circumstances:
•

Immediately after boot-up, as the backup is empty.

•

Immediately after the setup has been backed-up; since pressing the

Recall (Swap) button toggles between two identical setups.

Note: Backup & Swap works only when a parameter of the program is being

edited. I.e: When the unit is in an input or output mode.
With this option turned on, a Store or Recall can ONLY be performed from

the default screen, or utilities menu.

Backup and Swap

This feature allows the front panel gain trims values to be stored with the

program. The 355 adds the front panel value to the band gain value for each

output. Therefore, when recalling a program, 

the unit will warn to set ALL

front panel trim values to zero.

Store gain trims

This mode allows you to dump the current program settings to another FDS-

355, or a MIDI storage device for backup.
The default position for this screen is MIDI DUMP: NO. Turning the parameter

wheel to YES will ask you to press STORE to confirm the dump. A percentage

complete figure will show how much data has been transferred. When the

dump is complete, the screen defaults to NO.
If you are using the MIDI Dump to transfer data to another FDS-355, ensure

that both devices are set to the same MIDI channel, and connect the MIDI

OUT of the sending device to the MIDI IN of the receiving device. The MIDI

Dump mode is totally independent of the MIDI MODE.

NOTE: All parameter edits in all stored programs will be overwritten in any

FDS-355 set to the same MIDI channel. Use MIDI Dump with care!

(Turn to) MIDI

dump

This facility allow any stored program to be removed from the unit. Use the

parameter wheel to select the desired program, and press STORE to confirm

deletion.

(Turn to) Delete

program

For this mode to be enabled, a PC card must be present in the slot at the front

of the unit. To begin the format, turn the parameter wheel clockwise, and the

unit will prompt for STORE to be pressed to confirm the action. When the card

is formatted, the screen will default to NO.

NOTE: ANY DATA ON THE CARD WILL BE LOST DURING A FORMAT.
