Multiple KLANG immersive processors can be linked in KLANG:app to act as a single unit. This cascade of units will be defined by the unit name followed by an alphabetically sorted index in braces ().

For a cascade of KLANG processors, it is important that all devices are in the same network and connected correctly.

DMI-KLANG

ONLY connect one network cable between DMI-KLANG devices and the network switch.

ONLY connect one network cable between DMI-KLANG and the DiGiCo console. DO NOT connect the console a second time to the same network.

DO NOT additionally connect the WiFi access point to the Dante network switch. The two networks are connected through DMI-KLANG KLANG(1) already.

:konductor

No VLANs configured for :konductor.

ONLY connect one network cable between :konductor devices and the network switch.

DO NOT additionally connect the WiFi access point to the switch.

:vokal

No VLANs configured for :vokal, i.e. Dante/CONTROL and CONTROL ONLY are switched.

ONLY connect one network cable between :vokal devices and the network switch.

:vokal | EXPERTS – Separate Dante and Control

This connection scenario is more complex and requires thorough configuration of all KLANG processors first, i.e. CONFIG > INFO > SET > Expert Network Settings > Dante VLAN ID: 0 for each :vokal. With this setting, the Dante/CONTROL port of each :vokal will no longer carry CONTROL data.

A managed switch with proper VLAN settings and TRUNKS needs to be configured for :kontrollers to connect to both the CONTROL and the Dante network through dedicated VLANs.

With this connection it is possible to keep Dante and CONTROL on separate VLANs.

:fabrik / :vier

ONLY connect one network cable between :fabrik/:vier devices and the network switch.

DO NOT additionally connect the WiFi access point to the switch.

 

1. Switch to Admin mode in KLANG:app
2. Log into the first KLANG processor/device of your new cascade
3. Go to CONFIG > INFO > Set > Set Device Name
4. Enter a name followed by the index in brackets – <DeviceName>(<DeviceIndex>), e.g. KLANG(1)
5. Proceed with the next KLANG processor in the cascade and e.g. rename it to KLANG(2)
6. Repeat for more devices if required
7. Refresh the Device list in CONFIG > CONNECT

KLANG:app automatically detects a cascade once more than one unit with the same Device Name and a different Device Index is found.

In the Fast User Switching Bar the cascade device index will be used as a prefix before the OUTPUT number.

• Go to CONFIG > INFO > Set > Set Device Name and click UNSET
• Once KLANG:app does not see more than one device with the same name before the braces it will not detect a cascade anymore

• All mixes of all units of a cascade will be shown in the Fast User Switching Bar in KLANG:app
• Clicking on a Mix in the Fast User Switching Bar will log into the corresponding KLANG hardware
• Show File save and load commands will be triggered on all units of a cascade
• Snapshot commands (save, recall, rename, delete, first, next/previous, move up/down) will be sent to all units of a cascade
• Cascading of units is only visible in Show and Admin mode
• In Channels Menu “Paste THIS to ALL users” and “Paste META to ALL users” will copy settings to ALL mixes of a cascade
• Engineer CUE allows to listen to ALL mixes of a cascade. Musician CUE is not available in Admin mode when working on a cascade. Musician CUE is available in Show mode, but is limited to the mixes of this KLANG processor.
• Keyboard shortcuts for mixes e.g. CMD + 3 etc will trigger mixes in the fast user switching bar across all units of a cascade.
