The Control Room

The room, on one screen

Signal flow · input maps · clock sync · pedal recipes · session + patch logs

Sixteen Logic inputs, three keyboards sharing one pedal chain, a Moog rack that counts in pulses, and a grand piano with a pair of hypercardioids over the strings. This app is the memory of how it all connects — so a session starts with playing, not re-deriving the routing.

Session modes

What to arm before rolling

  • Keys SessionArm Logic inputs 5 + 6. Check phantom on both (Cloudlifter on 5, J48 on 6).
  • Modular SessionArm Logic inputs 9–16. Confirm ADAT lock and matching sample rate before the first take.
  • Piano SessionArm Logic inputs 3 + 4. Pan the pair, check phase by summing to mono.
  • Theremin Add-onArm Logic inputs 1 + 2 (Volt front panel).
  • Full RoomArm inputs 3–6 and 9–16 (plus 1–2 if the Theremini is up front). Run the Clock Lab checklist first.
