Page 9: Introduction
This section is a reduced version of the Xynergi Fold-Out, a large printed picture that is included in the Xynergi package. It’s a good idea to keep it by you while you’re learning the system. Once it gets too tattered to read, you probably don’t need it any more.
Page 10: What Else You Need To Know
What?? Sorry, but this is one of the keys to speed in Xynergi. Many operations can be done two ways. Momentary means: Hold down a key to open a mode, do one thing in that mode, then let go the key to exit the mode and go back to where you were.
Page 11: Anything Missing
Anything Missing? There are many topics that are not covered here. They are covered in the Xplain system on-board the Xynergi controller. In many cases that’s a much easier way to learn about them. For information about Xplain see page 26.

Page 24: The Xplain System
The Xplain System What is Xplain? Xplain is Xynergi’s built-in Help system. It’s great to use, because you don’t need to clutter your desktop with books like this one, and it gives you help about exactly where you are right now.

Page 38 SIP Defeat is sometimes referred to as Solo Safe. Naming Inputs and Outputs Inputs and outputs are named outside the Xynergi application. This is because they are a permanent fixture in the studio, and it’s best to have their names in a separate file.
Page 39 When you are choosing a name, it is advisable to use no more than two words of five characters each, including numbers. If you do, the complete name will be displayed on the Xynergi picture keys, making it easier for you to choose signal paths.

EQ is performed by the system on a coy of the original media, therefore applying an EQ change does not affect the audio data on disk.

Page 242: Project And File Management
ANAGEMENT Project and File Management Introduction File handling in Xynergi supports legacy formats from previous products, but also introduces powerful new Project and File management capabilities. This chapter details the way the system looks after files. Project Formats In Xynergi, two “native” project formats are supported.
Page 243: Mt Projects
Recording Files (FUFs) When using the MT project format on a Xynergi system, new audio recordings are stored in ‘FUF’ files. ‘FUF’ stands for ‘Fairlight Universal Format’, and a FUF file acts as an ‘audio container’ with many individual audio files bundled inside it.
Page 244 When the first FUF file reaches 4 GB, another one is automatically created. Stuffing FUFs Xynergi allows external files to be dragged and dropped onto the timeline. Since these files are not recorded into the Xynergi MT Project, they are not automatically added to the FUF files associated with the MT Project.
Page 245: Dr2 Projects
When using the DR2 format, new audio recordings are stored as industry standard Broadcast WAV Files. Xynergi Broadcast WAV Files are stored in the ‘Media’ subfolder of the DR2 Project folder. The WAV files are created when recording starts, and they are refreshed at regular time intervals during recording.
Page 246 The GUID is a system number, discussed below. GUIDs Xynergi Broadcast WAV Files are named using ‘GUIDs’. A GUID is a unique ID that makes it easy for the system to locate files in a database. Since GUIDs are hard to read, Fairlight has created the Fairlight Shell Extension for Windows Explorer.
Page 247: Waveform Profiles
After some time the number of profiles can get quite large and use a lot of space on your computer. The system automatically deletes profiles if they have not been used for a certain number of days. To control how many days, use the command   Setup General Preferences Projects Xynergi Media Production Centre Page 249...

Automatic File Saving Automatic File Saving allows you to save your project automatically at regular time intervals. To set this up, issue the command , and go to the Projects tab.  Setup General Preferences Xynergi Media Production Centre Page 250...
Page 249: Undo Files
This is necessary to prevent unwanted interaction with the automation system. Undo Files Xynergi allows unlimited UNDOs for audio editing. It does this by storing a copy of the Edit list each time an edit is made. The undo files are stored in the folder C:\Program Files\Fairlight\Dream II\Undo Each time a project is opened, the system starts writing undo files for it, starting with a file called UndoFile_00.1.
Page 250: Video Files
ANAGEMENT Video Files Xynergi supports drag and drop import of a variety of video file formats, as well as direct video recording to the Xynergi timeline. For correct operation, video files must be played from and recorded to a separate hard disk than the audio data.

This is particularly useful when the system is connected to a network. In the Media and Project Management dialog you can display all storage devices, folders and files.

Page 254: Pyxis Track
Pyxis Track Introduction Pyxis Track is Xynergi’s built-in video disk recorder and editor. It can import files of many formats, and export to many formats. Some of these formats require special licences to operate. See below for import / export information.

You can have a separate setting for your Decklink output and your VGA output, since they are likely to feed different monitors.

Page 258 Dv50, dv100 require a DVCPro Licence (dongle) Playing a QuickTime or AVI file requires that the latest available codec for that file type has been installed. Fairlight recommends that automatic update be switched on to ensure that the version remains current.

User Manual February 16, 2010 INS AND The settings are saved in C:\Program Files\Fairlight\FMC\Data\FlexiMaps, in a file called pluginname .FSM. You may edit these files, but that is beyond the scope of this document. If you edit a file wrongly, the Layout Editor may refuse to load the parameters from the plug-in. Your only recourse is to delete the FSM file and try loading the plug-in again.
Page 276 At this point the Pad controls should display parameters from the plug-in. These may be pre-arranged at the Fairlight factory (or by you or a colleague), or if not, they are shown by default in the order presented by the manufacturer – normal first, then ALT. Several pages may be filled if there are more than 16 plug-in parameters.

Page 278 Clicking the Off/On button to set the values to off and on What happens when you press the Learn button: Xynergi sends an off value to the plug-in, then an on value. It waits to see if the plug-in sends return messages. If this happens, the messages may contain useful toggle names, but it is not mandatory in the VST specification for this to be provided, and many manufacturers just send a value like 0 or 1, or nothing at all.
Page 279 Finding a Fleximap All Fleximap files are stored in C:\Program Files\Fairlight\FMC\Data\FlexiMaps Those addressing the Xynergi pad are in a subfolder called Xynergi, while those addressing a Sidecar are in the root of Fleximaps. A Fleximap file is a text file with an extension .fsm (or .FSM).
