Five Ways to Trigger Presets in Solaro Systems

Xilica Solaro offers multiple methods for activating system presets, giving you flexibility in how you control your audio environment.

Trigger presets directly from Xilica Designer:

• Use the toolbar dropdown menu in Design Mode or Online Control Mode

• Parameters affected by the preset will display a red halo

• Clear the halo by selecting a different preset

Create preset triggers within your signal flow:

• Add an Action Trigger Module to your design

• Connect it to a GPIO Output Module

• Use controls like Momentary Buttons to activate presets

Create custom control interfaces:

• Open the XTouch Panel in Design Mode

• Drag preset buttons from the Component Library

• Customize button appearance for intuitive control

• Test functionality in Online Control Mode

Program time-based preset changes:

• Access the Project Scheduler

• Drag presets from the Component Library to your schedule

• Synchronize the DSP clock with your computer

• Set one-time or recurring schedules (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly)

• Schedule events up to the year 2064

Integrate with external control systems:

• Use the Xilica API command: PRESET[preset_number]

• Establish a TCP connection to the QR1 device (default port: 10007)

• Send preset commands using a terminal program like Hercules

To verify network settings for API control, hover over the QR1 icon in Network View or double-click the device to check IP address and port configuration.
