Solid State Logic has released Offline Setup software for its Live console.
Available for free download, the SSL OffLine Setup Application, (SOLSA) allows creation and editing of Live console Showfiles on a laptop or desktop PC.
Almost any operational set-up that can be performed on a Live console can now be manipulated and configured offline when access to a console is not possible.
Software functionality includes console architecture configuration and set-up of Fader Tile Layers and Banks. Stageboxes and I/O routing can be assigned along with the creation of scenes and other automation editing. SOLSA also allows you to add effects, manipulate channel processing settings, bus routing and VCA assignments. SOLSA includes the same Help System as the Live console software, offering a built-in user guide with tutorials and reference sections.
SOLSA is designed to allow engineers to configure Showfiles in preparation for shows but also allows non-users to explore the console.
