Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the ES-4/100 or ES-8/100. Continuing

in the tradition of JLCooper’s FaderMaster Professional, the ES-

4/100 and ES-8/100 retain the feel and control of high quality;

100mm long throw faders and adds touch sensitive, motorized

automation. The ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 deliver this in a compact,

durable desktop package.

Like the FaderMaster Professional, JLCooper’s design philosophy

is to give you the feel and control over your art that technology has

taken away. Modern hardware and software products are loaded

with so many features, but simply lack the tactile user-interface to

quickly and intuitively use these features.

The growing use of computer-based automation has necessitated

the development of a professional mix interface. No longer will

one-fader-at-a-time “mouse mixing” suffice in today’s fast paced,

high profile projects. The faders themselves must have the feel that

the professional video editor or audio engineer demands.

All these qualities have been combined to put you back in control

and give you new opportunities for creative freedom in the studio

or on-stage.

Introduction

The ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 are 4- and 8-channel automation

controllers. They can control standalone RS-232 equipment or,

computer-based applications such as audio editing, music

production, video editing, animation and scientific visualization.

Features

• Controls music, audio, video and animation applications

• 4 or 8 100mm touch sensitive, motorized faders

• 8 virtual faders available via bank switching (ES-4/100)

• Select, Solo, Mute and Aux keys

• Implements all functions of JLCooper MCS-3000x

• Physically compatible with MCS3S and

other MCS-Pro series products in the deep chassis

• Durable, compact all-metal construction

• Single captive cable minimizes footprint

Interface

The ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 RS-232 come with a standard RS-232

interface that connects to any device that has a RS-232 interface.

Controls

Figure 1 – Control Location

1. Faders

Prominently featured on the top panel of the unit are four or

eight 100mm, touch sensitive, motorized faders. Because

the faders are motorized, the faders can respond to updates

from your system or software package.

2. Fader Buttons and LEDs

Above the each fader is a button with a corresponding

LED. These buttons and LEDs provide for control various

functions such as SELECT, SOLO, MUTE and AUXiliary.

These buttons are momentary acting. Your system or

computer software controls the LEDs.

3. Function Select Buttons

To the left side are four buttons, which select the

functionality of the buttons above the faders.

4. Inc / Dec Buttons

Changes the fader bank. The ES-4/100 and ES-8/100

internally keeps track of 8 fader channels. However, since

the ES-4/100 only has 4 physical faders, the INC/DEC

buttons allow the user to select the four channels that the

unit controls at any given time. DEC selects channels 1,2,3

& 4, which is the default after power is applied, while INC

selects channels 5, 6, 7 & 8. These buttons in the ES-8/100

send Bank Up and Band Down commands

System Requirements

Any computer with a RS-232 interface.

Installation

Unpacking

When unpacking the unit please keep the original packaging in the

event the unit needs to be shipped.

The unit is packed with the following items:

ES-4/100 or ES-8/100

Universal Power Supply and Power Cord

This Users Manual

Physical Setup

Mount the unit on a solid surface away from dust or moisture.

Connect the provided power supply to the unit.

Connect the power supply to a proper power outlet.

Connect the ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 to your system as outlined

below.

Hookup

The ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 RS-232 connects to a RS-232 port in

your system.

Consult your system documentation for more information on

setting up and configuring your RS-232 port.

Operation

Faders

Since there are only 4 physical faders, only 4 faders can be

manipulated and shown at any time. The use of all 8 faders is

accomplished through “bank switching”. The faders are arranged

in two groups of 4 faders. The Inc/Dec button selects the bank to

make active. When the unit is first powered on, Bank 1 (faders 1-

4) is active. When the INC button is pressed, Bank 2 (faders 5-8)

is active. Bank 1 can be selected by pressing the DEC button.

The ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 internally keeps track of all 8 faders.

For example, if the INC button is pressed, the ES-4/100 and ES-

8/100 will remember the settings of Faders 1-4. Pressing the DEC

button will restore the faders to their original positions.

Additionally, if the computer made updates to the fader position,

those positions would be remember even if they were part of a

bank that was not currently selected.

This also holds true for the LEDs above the faders. The ES-4/100

and ES-8/100 will remember the settings of the LEDs when the

banks are changed.

Function Select

The Fader buttons can produce various actions in your application.

Typically, the Fader buttons can be set to perform a SELECT,

SOLO, MUTE or any other command that your software package

might use.

Please consult your documentation.

Technical Information

Electrical Interface

The ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 uses the EIA RS-232A protocol over a

9 pin D-Sub connector. The pinout is listed in the table below:

1 DCD*

2 Data to computer

3 Data from computer

4 DTR**

5 Ground

6 DSR*

7 RTS**

8 CTS*

9 Not used

* Pins 1, 6 and 8 are connected together to provide hardware handshaking

for the computer. The unit does not use these signals.

** Pins 4 and 7 are not used by the unit.

The ES-4/100 and ES-8/100 sends data at 38.4 kbits/sec. The data

format is 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and 1 parity bit. The

parity is odd. That is, the sum of the data bits and the parity bit is

an odd number.

D7 + D6 + D5 + D4 + D3 + D2 + D1 + D0 + P = odd number

Touch

When a fader knob is touched or released, the ES-4/100 and ES-

8/100 sends the following message:

Bnh 4Ah 0xxxxxxxx

n 0 to 7, corresponding to faders 1 thru 8

xxxxxxx 7Fh when the fader is touched and

00h when the fader is released
