KLANG:app | menu – CONFIG > CONNECT

TL;DR: The CONFIG > CONNECT screen in KLANG:app is your hub for discovering and managing all KLANG devices. Here, you can search, sort and rename mixes as well as hide unused ones, assign icons and motion trackers, apply EQ presets and manage connected :apps or :kontrollers. It also allows switching user modes, enabling password protection and keeping the interface clean by showing only the mixes and devices you need.

Connect to KLANG devices on your network and manage the user settings.

• If you are in Show mode, you will see a list of KLANG processors in the Control device list. Click on the unit and choose the user from the quick user switching bar at the top.
• When working in Admin mode, the list will show all mixes of all units on the network. Choose a user by simply touching the appropriate button. (See below for more information on the different modes and how to switch between them.)
• When working in Musician or Personal mode, the control device list will show all available mixes on the currently connected KLANG processor.

Especially when several KLANG processors, :apps and :kontrollers are found on the network, it is essential to quickly find the device that you want to connect to.

Go to CONFIG > CONNECT and type in a keyword right next to the magnifying glass icon. All devices that contain this keyword in any of the announcements (type, name, IP, KOS version, etc) will be shown. Active search filters are shown in orange.

By default, the option Always clearing search Filter is enabled, i.e. anytime you move away from the CONNECT screen, the search filter will be reset. If you want to make it permanent even after restarting KLANG:app, choose Saving search Filter.

Click on the Drop Down menu to choose from any of the following sorting priorities:

• Name
• IP
• Type
• Serial
• Version

Further options in the drop down menu allow you to configure to show or hide specific device types:

• :app
• :kontroller
• DEMO MODE
  

Mix Name & Assign Icon

You can then edit the MIX NAME with your keyboard and assign an icon. This icon and mix name is shown in the fast user switching bar as well.

Hide (Unused) Mixes

The processing power and the number of mixes of the 2nd generation KLANG processors is great and offers freedom of choice. But sometimes you want to clean up the fast user switch bar, e.g. because a mix is not required for a show but will be required soon again.

Go to CONFIG > CONNECT, select a mix and click on HIDE MIX.

This mix is still shown in CONFIG > CONNECT in Admin mode, so you can always revert this settings. It will be hidden in the top fast user switch bar. And it will be hidden in Musician and Personal mode and on :kontroller entirely.

This is a great way to clean up the list of available mixes if they are unused.

Assign EQ

If root intensity EQs are enabled on the KLANG processor, each mix can have its own output EQ. Choose from the ASSIGN EQ dropdown in CONFIG > CONNECT in Admin mode from a list of useful EQ presets. This is only available in Show and Admin mode.

Click on the Root Intensity Icon to further adjust the EQ or Customize the four band parametric EQs (KOS 5.7+).

Phase Invert

Flip the polarity of the stereo output signal with PHASE INVERT in CONFIG > CONNECT. This is particularly useful on loud stages where the bass signal from the PA or the monitors interfers with the in-ear signal.

Rename KLANG:app devices

KLANG:apps and :kontrollers can be renamed from an Admin :app in CONFIG > CONNECT > APP NAME.

Switch to Mix

When assigning mixes to KLANG:apps and :kontrollers, a button lets you switch directly to that mix and tweak its settings. It is the counterpart to the Connected Devices dropdown and this can be used to return.

Connected Devices

When connected to a particular mix on a KLANG processor, a drop down list now shows you all :apps and :kontrollers that are currently connected to that mix. With a click on the list entry you can switch to that :app and :kontroller and configure its settings, i.e. musician, personal or admin mode.

All devices that are connected to a KLANG processor are shown in CONFIG > INFO.

The Offline Editor in KLANG:app lets you prepare and edit shows without any KLANG hardware, simulating a processor directly on your device. You can load/save show files, connect other local KLANG:apps, and even use it with DiGiCo console offline software for full remote setup.
