[slinkelist] Trying to understand cross-fading requirements

[Ted Smith]

Howdy

FWIW

I've had great success with my 240 controlling both a 240 and a 225 (e.g. I
don't remember ever noticing any problems at all), but when my 300 controls
a 240 now and then weird things happen, e.g. I can't get the slave to play
either from CDJ or with it's buttons or with the masters buttons (with mega
control), also at times when CDJ closes the 300's slave is the only jukebox
which doesn't power down.

    What players are you using? When I attempt to use CDJ to run my players 
in master-slave mode (a 270 controlling a 250 and a 90ES controlling a 225),

the master player overrides any selection I make on the slave with CDJ.  
About one per cent of the time, I manage to play a track from a slave player

with CDJ, but I cannot explain why it works.  It seems random.

    David and Colby, is there a chance that you might build a few of the 
circuits you have posted on your site? I would like to control three pairs
of 
Sony players from Slink-e and CDJ, so, from what I understand, the circuit 
needs a slight modification.

    Thank you.

 I've had my two players in master/slave for over a year, and you're right, 
it isn't 100% reliable, but it is 99% reliable.  Now that I have a DXS, I am

thinking about implementing the s-link switching circuit suggested by Colby 
(and documented on the Nirvis website
http://www.nirvis.com/masterslave.htm). 
 Will this give me the additional 1% reliability?  Have any other of you 
Slink-e Weenies had good success with the s-link switching circuit?
 
 Thanks,

 Unfortunately CDJ will not operate reliably with the players in a 
 master/slave configuration.
