AMX Control for BSS Soundweb London
16 April 2010, 09:18 by Chad Reynoldson
I’ve been writing code for the BSS devices since the old days of the original Soundweb. They can be an intimidating device to integrate into a control system. The learning curve is perhaps the largest for any device that I know of.
I can help you with your AMX to BSS integration. Give me a call, I’m available. I like the product and I’ve been up the learning curve many times.

BSS has it’s own AMX module and export feature, but I could never quite understand how to use it. So one day I put the London on the bench to conquer it once and for all.
I did create a very nice piece of code that includes: gains, n-input gains, source matrix (up to 96×96), and source selectors (up to 96×1). It uses two way control and updates automatically. It’s fun to watch a bargraph on a touch panel follow as you adjust the slider from the laptop.
The device can generate a lot of traffic, so I always tell people to avoid putting it on the #1 232 port of an integrated controller. In case you didn’t know it, that #1 232 port shares it’s uart with the axlink communication link. So with heavy data traffic devices it’s best to put it somewhere else, or shut off axlink with ‘AXOFF’.
