KLANG:app | Select User Modes

KLANG:app supports four user modes that distinguish between musicians and engineers/system administrators. These modes can be switched by pressing and holding the CONFIG button for 3 seconds.

Musician

The Musician mode mainly allows to mix and position the pre-defined inputs for one mix of a KLANG processor. This mode lets the users focus on playing their instruments and disables distracting features that are used to configure KLANG immersive processors, :kontroller or other :apps.

Personal

The Personal Mode is designed to be used by musicians who want to save their settings on their personal device, e.g. tablet or smartphone. Hence, in comparison to Musician mode, it offers a Show File menu, where each file is stored not on the KLANG hardware but on the remote device. Additionally, loading and saving a show file or recalling a snapshot will set this mix to recall safe on the KLANG hardware. If snapshots are recalled by another person in Show or Admin mode, this will not affect the mix of the user in Personal mode.

Personal mode is recommended for all musicians who have a substitute on some gigs. Make it a habit and store your personal show file when a gig is finished and recall your personal show file after login to the KLANG hardware to start again where you left off last time.

Show Mode

The Show mode allows to log into any mix of the unit and set channel names, colors, icons, order, link, etc. In this mode, settings (show files and snapshots) can also be stored and recalled. Additionally, it allows for fast user switching and to CUE into mixes (“listen to” feature). This feature allows to copy (clone) the sound output of a particular user to another user, e.g. for pre-listening and mixing for monitor engineers.
