Bypass
The DS1-MK3 can be completely bypassed with 
the green “bypass” key below the mains switch. 
If the “bypass” key is lit, the DS1-MK3 is abso-
lutely transparent, making the output signal bit 
equal to the input signal. However, the overall 
delay (see chapter Delay) is still active. 
While bypass is active (key is lit), the DS1-MK3 
works in preview mode. This allows you to 
change parameters without actually affecting the 
audio signal. 
Remote Control
All band parameters as well as control settings 
can be set externally. 
To see remote control status refer to the status 
display (
, see Status Display p. 7).
Protocol
To select a remote control protocol, press key C 
from the status display menu. Select either “RS 
232”, “RS 422” or “MIDI”. This will determine 
which port at the rear of the DS1-MK3 is active. 
The other inactive ports will be ignored. 
Press the “menu” key to return to the status 
display if you do not want to change remote on/ 
off status. 
When selecting a port other than MIDI you have 
to specify the baud rate. Refer to the remote 
control software manual for correct settings. The 
set baud rate is displayed to ensure proper set-
up. 
Channel
To change the remote control channel number, 
press key C (adjacent to the remote control 
field). Use the gain / data controller (
) to
select a value between 1 and 16. Press the 
“menu” key to return to the status display. Omni 
mode (listening on all channels simultaneously) 
is not supported. 
On/ Off
To enable or disable remote control, press key C 
(adjacent to the remote control field). Press it 
again to toggle the “ON/ OFF”-value. 
While remote control is off, data will still be sent 
to the selected port. Also, the MIDI THRU output 
will always mirror the MIDI IN input data regard-
less of “ON/ OFF” or protocol status.
