Deagan Electric Player Operation

2026-04-29T14:46:33Z

Rickwhite: Ordering rolls

Note: The person who has charge of the Chiming Device should also familiarize himself with the information on this page, following all instructions carefully.

== Maintenance ==
=== Every week ===
# Wind any pendulum clocks at both winding places. Check time of synchronous clocks.
# Fill oil cups on Player with clock oil (do not oil clock)
# Put one drop of oil on the player Governor Brake Shoe felt pads (unless AC motor)
# Put a very small amount of Vaseline on Gears

=== Every three months ===
# Oil Chime Actions
# Oil Motor-Generator
# Check Damper clearance - bells may be sagging on suspension
==== For DC motor ====
Not applicable for 1935+ players with AC synchronous drive motor.
# Oil small motor and clean commutator and brushes
# Check small screws on Governor Springs to see if they are tight

=== Every year ===
# Replace carbon brushes in DC motors
# Adjust relay contacts that control Dampers
# Clean all contacts and check entire electric system
# Clean player contact roller with wire brush
## Rewind and remove music roll (see below)
## Remove roller by pulling knurled knob 66 and clean with 0000 steel wool, then remove steel dust with isopropyl alcohol.

== Operation ==
=== Testing and practice ===
Always toggle off (away from you) switch labeled '''CHIMES''' (39) when testing player, unless you intend to play a piece completely through.

=== Theory of operation ===
==== Contacts and switches ====
[[File:DeaganEP2.jpg|400px|right|Deagan electric player EP2]]
When the player is in operation, the small wire contacts, which carry a very light current, make contact with the Contact Roller through the slots in the paper roll, operating relays that, in turn, operate the Chimes through heavier relays.

In addition to the Chime contacts are control contacts (either on the left side or the right side of the Chime Contacts).
;Intermediate Rewind (IR)
:If a slot in the roll occurs in this position, the roll will automatically rewind to the beginning.
:Contact IR can be rendered inoperative by switching off '''INT AUT REWIND''' (not shown in photo). Newer players do not have this switch because music rolls rarely had this slot cut in them.
;End Rewind (ER)
:Contact ER will always initiate rewind when the end of the roll is encountered during play. This cannot be inhibited.
:Rewind mode raises the tracker bar and engages the rewind drive.
;Intermediate Stop (IS)
:Contact IS will stop in the middle of the roll. Subsequent selections will be played the next time the player is triggered.
:Switch off the '''INT AUT STOP''' (40) to cause the entire roll to play for an extended concert.
;End Stop (ES)
:The slot for this contact is located at the beginning of each roll to stop the mechanism after rewind to be ready for the next concert.
:This contact cannot be inhibited.

;Automatic Trip
:Switch off the '''RELAY''' (38) to inhibit the automatic trip if you wish to change rolls.

In addition to the control contacts on the tracker bar, a large Automatic Trip Contact rides along the take-up spool. Normally the paper insulates this contact until the rewind mode reaches the very beginning of the roll. When the tapered end of the roll's apron allows the contact to conduct to the take-up spool, the trip relays will lower the tracker bar and engage the play drive mechanism. The roll will proceed in the forward direction until the ES slot is reached.

==== Play speed ====
This is not applicable to AC drive motors.

The proper speed for the player is five revolutions of the take-up spool per minute. New players use a synchronous AC motor to maintain this speed.

If your player has a DC Motor with governor, the speed will be indicated by a revolving centrifugal speed indicator. Proper speed is indicated when the two red tips are even with each other. Speed can be increased by loosening the lock screw and screwing the knurled nut to the left, so that the Felt Friction Tips are further away from the governor disc. Screwing the knurled nut to the right will decrease the speed. Make adjustments while the player is stopped and be sure to keep fingers clear of the sharp governor springs.

==== Contact adjustments ====
When the tracker bar is down, in normal playing position, the silver wire contacts should extend below the bar far enough so that as they rest on the paper they are forced away from the bottoms of the slots in which they rest. All of the ends should be even. When any become shorter through wear they can be adjusted with the small adjusting nut with the small socket wrench provided with the player (5/32). Replacement tracker wires are available from Chime Master.

==== Extending the life of the paper roll ====
When the tracker bar trips automatically at the end of rewinding, the ends of the wires will impact the apron at the same place every time. If holes begin to wear the apron at this point, cut some more of the apron on the Automatic Trip side so that the trip contact switches to play mode sooner on the apron.

=== Changing rolls ===
Turn off (away from you) '''CHIMES''' (39), and '''REMOTE/CLOCK CIRCUIT''' (41) switches when rewinding. Leave them off until the new roll is completely threaded and ready to play. Inadvertent lowering of the tracker bar to the roller will blow fuses if these switches are not off!

Also switch off '''RELAY''' (38) if you intend to rewind the roll completely to install a new roll.

Make sure the '''MOTOR''' (42) switch is ON (toward you with white dot exposed) or the player will not operate as this cuts out the motor. Use this switch to inspect the roll when the desired point is reached, or for testing relay and button operation.

Press the '''PLAY''' (43) button to energize the player, then ''briefly'' press the '''REWIND''' (37) button. The roll will rewind and unthread so all of the roll is on the rear spool. Press the '''STOP''' (44) button when rewinding is complete. Grasp the base on which the player mechanism rests and slide it towards you as far as it will go. This gives better access to the music spool which you can then readily remove by pulling out the Spool Holder (knurled knob 33 on the left rear of the player), moving the spool to the left and swiveling out the right end first.

When replacing the new roll, unwind about 12 to 15 inches of the apron then insert the spool, following the reverse process of removing the other one. Take the long wire hook that is provided with the player, insert it through the tracker to capture the apron ring and draw the paper gently out between the tracker bar and contact roller. Bring the paper around the take-up spool, hooking its ring to the hook on the take-up spool.

Turn on the '''RELAY''' switch (38) toward you and press the '''PLAY''' button (43). The tracker bar will trip to the play position and the roll will start forward. When the ES slot is reached, the player will stop before the first piece on the roll. Turn on the '''REMOTE/CLOCK CIRCUIT''' (41) for automatic operation and '''CHIMES''' (39) switches. The roll is ready to play the next concert to be triggered by the clock.

=== Ordering musical rolls ===
Music rolls for Deagan electric players are available from Chime Master. For each roll, choose six selections from the [[Deagan_tower_chime_library#Available_music|Deagan Tower Chime Library]] listings for the number of notes in your chime. Please send a photo of your player so we can be sure our records are correct for the type of roll you need.

Deagan tower chime library

2026-04-29T14:41:20Z

Rickwhite: link to player page

Chime Master offers music that has been specially arranged and performed for [[Deagan_Tower_Chime_Specifications|Deagan Tower Chimes]].
* Single Tone without dampers
* Single Tone with dampers
* Harmonic chime with dampers
* Harmonic chime with dampers and sustain pedals

Most Deagan tower chimes must be played slightly slower than other chimes, especially when it comes to repeated notes. A single note cannot generally be struck faster than 80 beats per minute. This becomes an issue for music with consecutive eighth notes, necessitating a momentary ritardando.

The smaller 10 to 15-note harmonic chimes should only be played with single tone (melody only) music.

== Available music ==
Most of our catalog is available for 10 note chimes. A ten-note Deagan tower chime spans 9 diatonic notes with one flat 7th semitone.

PDF Listing: [[Media:Library-Deagan_10_Notes.pdf|10-Note Deagan Library]]

The following selections require more than ten notes. When marked (adjusted) a note or two have been changed or transposed to avoid missing notes or narrow the required range. These selections may be deleted by the user.

=== 12 or more notes ===

== Available formats ==
Rolls for [[Deagan_Electric_Player_Operation#Operation|Deagan electric players]] are available for order. A photo of your player's tracker bar contacts showing the markings on its cover is useful so we know how many contacts it has and which side has the control contacts.

== Advanced eXperience controller ==
All music from the catalog is available and included in our [https://www.chimemaster.com/libertasax Libertas touchscreen chime controller]. Modern solid state relay panels (spark free) are available for interfacing direct to both Deagan strikers and dampers.

== Deagan Roll Player formats ==
=== ST - Single Tone ===
Deagan chimes with straight tubes have odd harmonics that will clash if more than one note is played at a time. This is the primary reason Deagan began to use dampers to mute previous notes when a new note is played. The long decay time for Deagan tower chimes was another important factor leading to the development of Deagan's tower chime dampers. Without dampers, the lower notes provided on twelve or more chimes becomes a muddy roar that obscures the melody.

=== H - Harmonic ===
Deagan chimes that are harmonically tuned were introduced in the late 1930s. Harmony arrangements are not generally available for chimes less than 16 notes. Early systems with 73-type relays would play harmony if the notes are overlapped (holding a bass tone).

=== HP - Harmonic Pedal (Piano style sustain) ===
Later (post 1940) harmonic Deagan tower chimes were supplied with 74-type relays that worked with a keyboard pedal acting like a piano's sustain pedal. Music rolls recorded by June Albright Howard have this pedal signal encoded on them. Note that with the 74-type relays the musician playing a melody without harmonization must play overlapping legato and pedal all repeated notes. Otherwise the note will die as soon as the key is released, just like a piano.

'''[https://ezbells.com/bts0 Time Strike Video]'''
</div>
Tap Schedule on the Home screen then Time Strike.

[[File:TimeStrike_AX1.2.jpg|frameless|right|600px]]
Each time you enter this screen, the current time strike schedule will be displayed. Green hours will sound and gray hours are quiet. If a time strike schedule has not yet been defined, the ALL tab will be selected and no hours will be turned on.

When you are finished making changes, tap Save to Schedule. You may exit this screen without saving changes by tapping the home button.
=== Schedule ===
When the ALL tab is selected, you can create one ringing schedule for all seven days. To make a unique schedule, choose that specific day. Once there is a difference between days, ALL cannot be selected until all days are cleared again. If most of your days have the same or similar ringing schedules, it's best to schedule ALL first, then edit any day as necessary.

You may tap any hour to select or deselect. Use the red 9a to 9p button to specifically select or deselect this block of time. The red All/Clear button will select or deselect all 24 hours.

To disable clock chiming, tap the Clear All Days button, then tap Save to Schedule.

=== Select Quarters ===
Once you have set your ringing schedule, you can move on to how you want your quarter hours to sound. Tapping the Quarters button cycles through the following selections:

;Top Only
: Rings the top of the hour only
;Top and Half
: Adds the half hour between consecutive active hours
;Full Quarters
: Adds all four quarter hours between consecutive active hours

When hours are turned off in the middle of the ringing schedule, only the last enabled hour before the gap and the next enabled hour after the gap will ring at the top of the hour, with no quarters ringing in between.

=== Select Style ===
Choose how you want the bells to sound by tapping the Top Style and Other Quarters Style buttons to select the ringing style. The other quarters button is available only when the half-hour or full selection is made on the Quarters button.
;Melody (musical note icon)
:Will play the selected chime melody before tolling the top of the hour
:Will play the selected chime melody instead of a single toll on other quarters
;Toll (hammer icon)
:Will toll the number of the hour at the top
:Will toll one time on other quarters

=== Select Melody ===

If you selected Melody, choose your [[Time Strike Melody]] using the selection bar. The default option, Westminster Clock Chime, is most common. Twelve other options are supplied with the Platinum AX at this time. If you have recorded your own custom clock chime it will appear in the list. For information on naming your own melody, see Custom clock chime melodies section below.

You may audition the different melodies using the [[Play_Selection_AX|Play Selection menu]] from the home screen. To find and play chime strike melodies, choose ''Show All Categories'', and search for Clock Chime.

== Custom clock chime melodies ==
<div style="font-size:84%">
'''[https://ezbells.com/brc0 Custom clock chime video]'''
</div>

For the system to include your custom melodies in the Time Strike settings, you need to record, using your keyboard, four chime recordings. These four recordings need to be titled as follows where (Name) is the common name of your chime.

If your time strike sequence is fairly simple, you can also use the Premium [[Using_Chime.Center#Custom_ringing|Chime.Center custom ringing page]] to specify the chime's ringing patterns. Use the same method described to title your patterns.

;Recording title for the top of the hour (00 minutes)
:"(Name) Clock Chime"
;Recording title for the half hour (30 minutes)
:"(Name) Half Hour"
;Recording title for the first quarter (15 minutes)
:(Name) First Quarter"
;Recording title for the third quarter (45 minutes)
:(Name) Third Quarter"

Even if you don't ring them, all four quarters must have a recording named exactly in this way. Consider using a tolling instrument for recording clock chimes so that they sound like the hour strike bell.

<div style="font-size:84%">

''' [[Keyboard_AX|← Previous Section]]      [[Time_Strike_AX|Next section →]] '''
</div>

In this menu you can review, edit or delete any of the events in your schedule. To clear the schedule, you must go to the Settings menu.

Please allow at least five minutes after making changes to the schedule for events to appear in the Upcoming Selections timeline. The system waits to be sure that you have finished working on the schedule to refresh Almanac music and other events for the coming week. Schedule changes will result in scheduled Almanac concerts to play different songs than appeared before modifications, even if those times were not changed.

[[File:ScheduleMenu.jpg|frameless|right|600px]]

== Scheduling basics ==
The scheduling screens for Weekly, Monthly, Annual and One Time events are for adding new events to these schedules. Use the Schedule Review screen to see what is programmed already.

=== Schedule musical concerts ===
* For regular musical concerts, use '''Schedule - Weekly Event'''. Choose the number of songs to play from [[SmartAlmanac_AX|SmartAlmanac]] selected music.
* To play a person's favorite hymn on their birthday, use '''Schedule - Annual Event'''. Search for the title after selecting ''Play specific music''.

=== Schedule ringing ===
* Schedule a swinging bell to ring at a service time, use '''Schedule - Weekly Event'''. Select ''Play Specific Music or Ringing'' and then search for ''swing''. Choose a bell and duration from the list before adding it to your service times.
* Time strikes. Always use the '''Schedule - Time Strike''' menu to create, modify and review your time strike schedule.
* Angelus and prayer bells. Always use the '''Schedule - Angelus''' menu to create, modify and review your Angelus schedule.
After you have modified your schedule, the system will wait for a pause in user activity and finish playing anything it is supposed to do before applying the schedule changes. During the schedule processing, the status icon at the top right of the screen will display gears. It will choose Almanac music to fit the modified schedule for the next ten days. Wait for the gears to disappear before reviewing.

== Screen features ==
The following elements will be found on each of the scheduling screens:

; Clock hands
: To set the time of the event, you may tap or drag the hands of the clock or tap the number and choose from a drop-down menu.
; Begin/End switch
: Determine if the programmed time is the beginning or ending time for the event.
; Calendar (on annual and one time events)
: Choose the date the event is to occur

The scheduling system will warn you if you have chosen late night or early morning times so you can make AM/PM corrections if needed.

=== Music selection ===
Make your choice of music using one of the following methods.

; Almanac Selected Music Mode
: Turning this on disables the title picker because the system will play seasonally appropriate music using the SmartAlmanac.
; Title picker
: Type any part of the selection to search the library then select a song from the results.
; Duration
: Choose the duration (approximate) in minutes or the number of songs to play.

=== Event List ===
The window on the right accumulates the list of times and programs you have selected. It does not display any existing schedule previously created and saved.

Tap Add Selection and your new event will be added to the list. You may add multiple events to the list by changing the date, time, or selection and tapping Add Selection. Tap Save to Schedule to add this list to the automatic schedule.

If you add multiple events to one time or add an event(s) to a time that already has something scheduled, they will play in the order they were added. Time strike and Angelus ringing take precedence over and will always play before music.

== Scheduling screens ==
These screens do not show you what is already programmed. Review your existing schedule using the review screens below.
=== One Time & Annual ===
Schedule an annual event. This is often used to schedule memorial music, such as, a person's favorite hymn to be played every year on their birthday. Make a one time event to provide music for a unique, non-repeating occurrence such as a wedding or a funeral, by entering the year.

=== Weekly ===
Schedule a weekly event to schedule music on a regular weekly basis, like daily or each Sunday.

=== Monthly ===
Schedule a monthly event to schedule music on a regular monthly basis, like the first Sunday of each month.

== Review and configuration screens ==
Time strikes and Angelus prayer bell ringing schedules can be checked and modified using the following screens. Other scheduled events can be reviewed with the Schedule Review screen.

=== [[Time_Strike_AX|Time Strike]] (weekly) ===
Review and modify clock chiming and hour strikes:
* Select active hours
* Select odd quarters and type of ringing
* Select clock chiming melody

=== Angelus ===
Schedule and configure prayer bell ringing.
* Select first pattern
* Select second pattern, toll or swinging bells
* Select days and hours to ring

=== Review the schedule ===
Tap Schedule and Review.

: '''Review''' - Displays events that have been scheduled weekly, monthly, annual or one-time. This is the best way to see the outline of your program and what will play on a recurring schedule. Events can be deleted from this menu.
: '''Upcoming''' - Displays exactly what will play from your automatic schedule for the rest of the day today and tomorrow.

Midi

2026-01-23T18:54:28Z

Rickwhite: /* Advanced eXperience models */

MIDI is an acronynm for Musical Instrument Data Interface. This is a current loop serial interface with a a standard protocol for communication between keyboards, electronic musical instruments and computers. This protocol includes codes for describing music data, such as note on and note off messages (sent when a key is pressed and released) among other codes. 

== MIDI Channels ==

The MIDI protocol allows sixteen different channels of data to be transmitted on a single MIDI cable. Generally instrument voices only respond to one channel at a time. Multi-timbral instruments can respond to multiple channels with different sounding voices.

=== Rodgers Implementation ===

Rodgers organs always transmit note data on channels 12 and up. There is usually a group of switches (pistons below the great manual) that enable lower MIDI channels when engaged. More expensive organs have two switchable channels for each manual, such as MIDI GT A and MIDI GT B (great manual A and B channels). Only enable one of these when setting up the keyboard (maybe B for Bells). 

=== Legacy Millennium/Platinum Implementation ===

The Millennium/Platinum carillon can respond to two MIDI channels simultaneously, and we refer to them as Primary and Secondary. When setting up a system with an organ, the Primary channel is typically the lower manual (Great) which is used for the melody bell voice and the Secondary channel is set to the upper manual (Swell) which is used for a harp voice.

When the Millennium carillon is placed in the System Setup - Keyboard Size/Midi menu it is looking for the highest and lowest MIDI note values and channel values for each keyboard. When it sees multiple channels (like it would with a Rodgers organ), it chooses the lower channel available. As of firmware 0311, we are only looking at the first two channels received.

== MIDI Volume ==

On the Platinum/Millennium Carillon, note velocity affects not only the volume level of the note but also the brilliance of the note. Playing vigorously will be brighter and louder, playing gently will be duller and quieter.

Organs do not typically have a touch sensitive keyboard. Instead we have to rely on the expression pedal (in the case of an electronic organ). On an Allen organ, the expression shoe controls the note velocity values affecting both volume and brilliance.

On a Rodgers organ, the expression shoe sends MIDI Channel Volume data. If we only used this to change the volume of the chime output, we would lose the brilliance component of the bell dynamics. When volume data is detected, along with a steady state velocity, the Millennium MIDI input substitutes the volume value for velocity on the notes received. So a Rodgers expression shoe will provide the same dynamic changes that an Allen would.

Firmware versions prior to 0411 would accept volume levels of zero and mute the output. This is now ignored since we have run across a Solid State Logic midi interface (probably not installed and setup correctly by the organ technician) that sent a volume zero command every time the MIDI output was enabled.

== Import MIDI file ==
=== Advanced eXperience models ===
Use [[Using_Chime.Center#Uploads|Chime.Center's MIDI Upload]] page to import MIDI files to your ringing system.

MIDI type 1 files are compatible with the AX systems as long as there is only one track.

=== Legacy 2000 models ===
You can import MIDI files from notation software to your carillon using the Management Suite's [[Recording_library_MS|MIDI File Import]] premium feature.

Without the Recording Librarian option, a supported carillon can only store one MIDI file at a time in the recording buffer.
=== Preparing MIDI files for upload ===
Only single track [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_Instrument_Digital_Interface#File_formats MIDI Format 0] files are compatible with Management Suite.

If you selected a preset voice on your computer to play back the arrangement, delete that preset before saving the file for upload.

It is important to transpose the music properly for the bell voice you will use to play it back. Automated chimes and carillons are always transposed to ring the largest bell on middle C, or C4 (Midi note 48) regardless of their true pitch. Millennium Cast Bronze carillon voices range from C3 to C8. Millennium Chime and harp selections use a split keyboard with the harp from C3 to Bb5 and the chime from B5 to C8. Notes above and below these ranges are prohibited.

Tempo and time signature changes are supported. All other controls such as volume and patch changes must be removed from the file.

Stacking lots of notes in fast changing chords may overload the playback engine of the carillon or bell controller resulting in a slight slowing of playback tempo. Quickly arppegiating dense chords will avoid this slowdown without a noticeable change of arrangement. Striking the larger bells before smaller bells is customary. Arrangements that are kind to the listener's ears will avoid striking more than two notes simultaneously.

A useful article, [https://www.rockefeller.uchicago.edu/2017/12/19/composing-for-carillon ''Composing for Carillon'' by Joey Brink], should be reviewed when arranging music for bells.

Network setup AX

2026-01-23T18:40:23Z

Rickwhite: Chime.Center formatting

<div style="font-size:84%">
'''[[Chime_Master_Help|Help]] » [[Operating manuals]] » [[:Category:AX_Manual|AX Table of Contents]]''' 
'''     [[Settings_screen_AX|← Settings screen]]      [[Keyboard_setup_AX|Next section →]] '''
 Video help - [https://ezbells.com/ans0 Current Version] - [https://ezbells.com/ans9 Older setup screens (< 1.4.12)]
</div>

There are many advantages to having your ringing system connected to the internet.
* Continual time clock synchronization
* [[Remote_AX|Remote control]] experience is enhanced
* Advanced music, seasons and schedules using [[Using_Chime_Center|Chime.Center]]
* Automatic software and security updates
== Check your connection ==
=== Login screen ===
You can tell if the system is connected to the Internet by checking the connection icon found on the PIN login screen at the top right corner, just below the system status icon. It will display one of the following states:
* Check mark on the globe - indicates the system has full Internet connectivity
* X mark on the globe - indicates the system is not able to reach the Chime.Center server
* '''AP''' (no globe) - indicates the system is in Access Point (AP) mode for local remote control
** Turn on Access Point mode whenever you cannot connect the ringing system to the Internet, even if you do not need the local remote control. This will turn off Internet services so that errors resulting from these missing connections will not degrade your ringing system's performance.
=== Network settings screen ===
Connection status is shown at the top of the Network Settings screen. Possible messages are:
* Status: '''Connected to the Internet''' - System is connected to Chime.Center.
* Status: '''Connected to Local Network''' - System is available on the local network. It is likely that router or firewall settings for the network are not allowing connections to Chime.Center. Restart the system and if that does not help, check that all [[Network_setup_AX#Your_network|required outgoing ports]] are available.
* Status: '''Access Point Mode''' - System is in Access Point (AP) mode for local remote control.
* Status: '''Not Connected''' - System is not making connections to any network. Check cabling and if using antenna, retry WiFi setup.
=== System time ===
The system will not be able to properly negotiate connections with our servers if the ringing system's time is incorrect. Go the the Settings - Date and Time screen to verify the correct date, time and time zone. Make sure the switches for DST and Automatic Time Sync are on.

== Connection modes ==
[[File:NetworkSettings.jpg|right|550px]]

=== Wired Ethernet ===
A wired network will always provide the easiest and most reliable connection if you have it.
;Setup
* Connect an Ethernet cable from your router to the labeled jack on the back of the AX carillon. This will be recognized immediately.
* When a network address is displayed with a green check mark next to ''Ethernet network Connected'' you are connected.
* Make sure the Access point switch at the bottom of the screen is '''Normal''' and gray in color. If you change the Access Point mode the system must be restarted (see below).
* If you also have a green check mark and IP address under WiFi Networks, you should unplug the antenna from the rear USB port.

=== Wireless ===
These connections require the available wireless adapter antenna. Screw the two parts together and power down the ringing system before plugging in the antenna. Keep the system level while the antenna is plugged in, as tipping the system can cause damage to the antenna or port connection.

==== WiFi network ====
WiFi is trickier to set up, but has the advantage that it provides an air gap between the lightning prone outside components of your ringing system and your other wired network components.

[[File:Wifi.jpg|frameless|right|450px]]
* From the home page of the AX ringing system, choose Settings then Network. This page displays if you are connected via an Ethernet cable or a wireless network.
* The Access Point Mode at the bottom of the screen should be set to '''Normal''' - gray when connecting to a WiFi network.
* If you have changed the Access Point mode, restart the system (see below).
* Tap on '''WiFi Networks''' and choose the one you want to connect to. Enter the WiFi password in the next box and tap Connect. It may take a couple of minutes.
* When the unit has successfully connected, it should update the Current WiFi Network and Wireless IP address.
* If you have trouble connecting with the wireless antenna we supply (password is not accepted):
** Your Router or Access point may be configured for WPA3 only. Please have your network administrator configure the WiFi network for mixed-mode WPA2+WPA3. The AX system does not currently support WPA3.
** A network bridge can be configured to connect your WiFi to the ringing system's Ethernet port. Your network administrator should be able to set this up for you. TP-Link makes a WPA3 compatible device, TL-WA1801 ([https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WA1801-Beamforming-Supports-Multi-SSID/dp/B0CNSCVXZN Amazon link]).

==== Access Point (no Internet) ====
Advanced eXperience ringing systems are designed to be connected to the Internet, but if none is available at your facility, the system can provide an ad-hoc local Access Point WiFi network to which you can connect your phone.

This means you can [[Remote_AX|remote control]] your ringing system when your phone is nearby.
* QR codes are different for remote controls that use the local connection from those that use Internet connection.
* Refer to the [[Remote_AX|Remote Control instructions]] for scanning multiple users and saving the app to you phones home screen.

===== Enable local remote access point =====

* While the Chime Master AX carillon is powered off, plug in the included wireless antenna into the top right USB port on the back, then restart the unit.
* From the home page, choose Settings then Network. At the top, you can view if you are connected via an Ethernet cable or a wireless network (network address beside the appropriate IP label).
* Tap the Access Point switch near the bottom of the screen. When the '''Access Point switch is gold''' and an IP address appears beside ''Wireless IP'' you can exit the Network setup page and proceed.

Restart the system as described below. When the system restarts in AP mode, it will disable all Internet dependent services. This prevents internal connection errors and improves system performance.

* When you tap the lock page clock, the PIN login screen will indicate at top right that the system is in AP mode.
* Login and from the home page, tap the Remote button.
* After entering your PIN, the system will check its network connection status. You will be asked to connect your smart phone or other device to a password protected CMS WiFi. The SSID and Password will appear above the QR Code. After connecting your phone to the carillon's network, scan the QR code with your phone’s camera or QR reader. Tap the link which is provided from the QR code to open the '''Local Remote''' in your phone’s browser.

=== (Re-)Enable Internet features ===
If the system has an Internet Connection (using a network cable) and the wireless antenna is plugged in and the Access Point is left on, Internet features such as clock synchronization are disabled. Always turn off the Access Point when using a wired connection.
* From the home page, choose Settings then Network. At the top, you can view if you are connected via an Ethernet cable or a wireless network (network address beside the appropriate IP label).
* Tap the Access Point switch in the lower left corner of the screen. When the '''Access Point switch is gray''' with an x on it, Internet features are enabled (after restart).
* Leave the WiFi antenna plugged in only if you are ''not'' connecting using an Ethernet cable.

Restart the system as described below. When the system starts with the Access Point switch set to '''Normal''', update, backup and other Chime.Center remote features are enabled.

==== Verify connection and reset Remote ====
* When you tap the lock page clock, the PIN login screen will display the connection icon as described at the top of this page.
* Return to the home page, then tap the Remote button.
* After entering your PIN, the system will check its network connection status.
* Above the QR code the system will indicate that this code is for the Chime.Center Remote.
* Make sure your phone has Internet access and scan the QR code with your phone’s camera or QR reader. Tap the link which is provided from the QR code to open the '''Chime Remote''' in your phone's browser.

=== Restart after changing modes ===
Restarting the system is required to change the Access Point mode:
* Press and hold the front panel lighted power button until it turns red. Release the button and it will begin to blink violet then blue.
* When the power button has stopped blinking and is solid blue, click it to restart the system.
* The light will blink green then turn solid gold for normal operation.

== Advanced settings ==
DHCP is the default setting that allows the system to obtain network information from your router and automatically attach to your network. Large campus installations may require the IT department to define how the system should be connected.

Open the Settings - Network page. The type of current connection will be displayed with a green check mark, along with the current IP address and interface mac address.

Tap the network connection you wish to change to static IP.

;WiFi
:Tap the Advanced Network Setup switch, re-enter the WiFi password and change IP settings to Static.
;Ethernet
:Tap the Advanced Network Setup switch.

Scroll down to enter the static IP to use, the Subnet (in CIDR bit count format without the slash), your gateway's IP, and your name server (DNS) IP. Tap Save and close the menu. It shouldn't be necessary, but a good idea to hold the lighted power button for five seconds to shut down the system. Click the button again when it is solid blue to restart.

== Internet access requirements ==
While connected only to your network (mobile data off), a test device (phone or PC) must be able to access
'''https://chime.center'''
'''https://sf.chime.center'''

* This site may need to be white-listed in firewall or DNS rules

=== Bandwidth ===
Typically you can expect around 50MB to 100MB per day (less than 3GB/month) of usage by the bell system, depending on the frequency of remote control and management usage.

== Security ==
AX ringing systems do not require static IP addresses or any special inbound port forwarding through your firewall. Chime.Center's routing will make sure that only you have control of your bells. Best practices should be followed whenever connecting anything other than computers and printers to your network and the Internet. The following are a few suggestions that you should consider. The easiest are at the top and should be complied with first.

=== Ringing system ===
* [[User_profile_setup_AX|Change the default login PIN number]] for the login screen. Users who have (or guess) this code can use the front panel remote screen to authenticate remote access. You can use up to 10 digits.
* Use a strong password to login to Chime.Center. Use a password manager to generate unique and strong passwords for each of your site logins. Never re-use your email password on other sites.
* Do not attempt to simultaneously use the wired Ethernet connection and the WiFi antenna connection. Make sure the Access Point is set to '''Normal''' (see above) if you are connected to a network. Necessary services are inhibited by the Access Point mode such as:
** Automatic clock synchronization
** Software updates
** Chime.Center access
* Do not connect the ringing system directly to the Internet without a firewall (router based or dedicated).

=== Your network ===
No inbound ports need to be open on your firewall. Most router firewalls default to allow outgoing connections on all ports while blocking incoming connections.

In more secure facilities, outgoing connections may also be blocked to ports other than those needed for typical web browsing. Keep these outbound ports open for the ringing system:
* '''SSH 22''' (to *.sf.chime.center - remote tunnel for API and backups)
* '''TCP 443''' (to *.sf.chime.center - updates)
* '''TCP 7443''' (to *.chime.center - update systems with firmware < 1.4.20)
* '''UDP 123''' (time sync)

==== Issues with firewalls ====
'''Verizon''' router/modem firewalls often default to closing connections to port 22. Check if your security settings is set to maximum. If so, manually add SSH 22.

Chime.Center does not support Deep Packet Inspection of SSH packets (DPI-SSH), typically encountered on '''SonicWall''' products. If your network must enable DPI-SSH (very rare circumstances), disable it for the ringing system's (static) IP or mac address to allow API tunneling. Otherwise, the Chime.Center server will detect your firewall as a man-in-the-middle attacker and drop the connection.

==== Best Practices ====
* Use a strong WiFi password on your router or access point.
* Test your firewall for unneeded open inbound ports. Gibson Research provides the [https://www.grc.com/shieldsup Shields Up!] tool. After clicking the Proceed button, click the All Service Ports button to begin testing.
* Have your IT personnel configure a [https://robpickering.com/ubiquiti-configure-micro-segmentation-for-iot-devices/ segmented VLAN or Internet-of-Things sub-network] for the ringing system and other appliances such as security cameras. [https://www.zdnet.com/article/fbi-recommends-that-you-keep-your-iot-devices-on-a-separate-network The FBI recommends] you do this at home as well.

''' [[:Category:AX_Manual|← Back to Contents]]      [[Login_screen_AX|Next section →]] '''</div>

== Getting started ==
* [https://ezbells.com/ccpl Chime.Center training videos]
* [https://ezbells.com/axpl System menu help videos]

=== Making connections ===
* [[Rear panel AX|System rear panel]]
* [[Network_setup_AX#Wired_network|Network and WiFi]]
* Audio
** [[Amplifier_inSpire_AX|inSpire amplifier]]
** [[InSpire_audio_connections#inSpire_AX_audio_systems|inSpire connections]]
* [[Keyboard_setup_AX#Connections|Keyboard]]
* [[Connect tower relays AX|Tower bells and clocks]]

=== Log in ===
* The lock screen features a large clock display. Tap the clock to bring up the login screen.
* Login with the PIN code (initially '''1234''', which you [[User_profile_setup_AX|should change]]).

=== Initial settings and schedules ===
;IMPORTANT
:Chime Master often sets up and programs systems prior to shipment, according to the needs of the client.
:Read this section to avoid losing your settings.
==== Reviewing the schedule ====
To review such a schedule or check to see if your system does not have a schedule, bring up the Schedule Review screen:
* Tap the Schedule button.
* Tap the Review button.

If there are no events scheduled, the screen will report "Nothing is scheduled."

==== Use the Guided Setup ====
This installation setup will step you through a questionnaire about your denominational traditions that will inform how the SmartAlmanac™ chooses music throughout the liturgical year.

* Login or tap the Home icon at the top of the screen.
* Tap the Settings button on the Home screen then Clear Almanac on the settings screen. Next you will have three options,
** Factory Reset - clears everything and starts over with a fresh system
** Clear Almanac Only - leaves your schedule intact, but allows you to setup seasonal preferences and denominational music
** Cancel - allows you to exit without clearing or changing anything.

Each screen of the guided setup questionnaire features a blue Information button that explains your choices in detail. All of the choices you make may be adjusted later using the menus listed below.

=== Front panel controls ===

==== Lighted power button ====
When power is restored to the system, it will power on after a delay to test the line voltage. The power light will blink green while the system is initializing. It will turn solid gold when the system is ready. There are four gestures you can make on the button.

;Single-Click ''Display on/brightness''
: wakes up the backlight for the touch screen and adjusts the brightness
;Double-click ''Stop playing''
: cancels any concert or ringing in progress (light momentarily turns red)
;Press and hold for 1 second ''System shutdown''
: cancels concerts and waits to be sure you want to initiate Shut Down (light turns red, then blinks magenta).
: If the button is not clicked again while blinking magenta, Shut down process will begin (light blinks blue).
: Always shut down in this way before unplugging the power cord.
: Wait until the button is solid blue before unplugging from AC power.
; Clicking when the button is solid blue will restart the system.
: If you unplugged the power cord, the system will restart automatically when plugged back in.

During software update installation, the power button's light will alternate between red and magenta. A screen should also be displayed that the update installation is in progress. Do not remove power or attempt to shut down the system during this period.

Systems shipped before April of 2022 do not indicate an update install is in progress. During the update process, older systems power light remains gold and the display becomes dark and unresponsive. Please allow at least 30 minutes for the system to complete the installation and restart on its own before you attempt to revive it by cycling power.

==== Touch screen ====

* A single, light tap with your finger or the soft end of the supplied stylus is all that is required. Pressing on the display or using a pointed object will cause damage.
* After several minutes of inactivity, it is normal for the screen to dim, lock and eventually go completely dark to save power. As long as the status light is gold, scheduled events will play normally.
[[File:AXUX-Toolbar.png|none|500px|center]]

The menu screen and phone remote for Chime Master AX ringing systems are fully customizable on a per user basis. Add and edit quick function buttons for immediate access to common ringing features and favorite hymns. Remove buttons to simplify menus for users who do not need certain features.

<embedvideo service="youtube">https://youtu.be/QU4zVBiX9QU</embedvideo>

== Front panel menu ==
[[File:AXSetupHome.jpg|frameless|right|600px]]
Tap Settings on the home screen, then tap Customize Home on the settings menu. Add, remove and change [[Home_screen_AX|Home Screen]] buttons and their functionality with this screen.

All of the home screen buttons are shown on the Customize Home screen as labeled icons with either locks or editing buttons below them.

Essential home screen buttons have the locks below them and cannot be removed or edited. Customizable buttons provide both an Edit button and a trash bin below them.

=== Remove items ===
Remove unneeded buttons from the home menu by tapping the trash bin below them.

=== Edit or Add ===
Change the actions for an existing button by tapping its Edit button.

There are two ways to add a new button:

;Tap Button Storage
: Button storage contains buttons that exist on your system that are not on your home screen. These may have previously been removed from your screen or created by other users of your system. Check boxes next to each button you want to add, then click '''Add Checked''' at the bottom of the screen.

;Tap Add New to create a Home Screen button.
: Tap Change Icon to see available icons for your function. Tap one of the icons then tap Select. Tap the Name field to create a unique label for your new button. Select the functionality of the button from one of the following Types.

==== Select Type ====
Select the type of button you want to add to the user's home screen using a pull down menu:

*'''Play Specific Selection'''
:This button provides a quick concert from one to four specific titles. Options on the edit screen allow you to search within categorized lists to find your selection(s).

*'''Play Album'''
:Play from the selected Album. Choose to play through the Album in its entirety, for a duration of a number of minutes or a number of songs.

*'''Play using SmartAlmanac'''
:Play denominationally and seasonally appropriate random music (as set up using the SmartAlmanac™) for a duration either of a number of minutes or a number of songs.

*'''Custom Toll'''
:This button prompts for either the number of strikes or minutes to toll, a tempo for the toll and select a tolling bell. All settings are saved for the next usage, so you can play without entering specific parameters.

*'''Suspend Schedule'''
** When the schedule is '''active''', the button appears '''red''' and is labeled ''Suspend Schedule''
** When the schedule is '''suspended''', the button appears '''green''' and is labeled ''Resume Schedule''
:Tapping the button when it is red prompts you for an ending date and time for schedule suspension.
:Tap the button when it is green to cancel the suspension timer and immediately resume scheduled ringing.

*'''Keyboard screen'''
:You can restore the keyboard button if it has previously been removed.

*'''Remote screen'''
:Restore the Remote button if it has previously been removed.

=== Reorder buttons ===
Tap and hold your finger on any button on the edit screen. It will detach from its location and move as you continue to move your finger around the screen to its new location. Removing your finger from the screen will exit the reordering function so you can select and move other buttons the same way.

=== Exit ===
Review all of your selections by scrolling to the bottom of the page. When all of the parameters are entered tap the Save button at the bottom of the screen. If you exit using the home button at the top of the screen you abandon your changes.

== Using Chime.Center ==
The instructions above for the front panel screens also work for Chime.Center. If your PC has a touch screen, you can tap to move the buttons like on the front panel. Reordering the buttons with a mouse is a simple click and drag operation.

==== Edit My Home Screen ====
You can edit your home screen remotely using Chime.Center. Click on the colored circle with your initials and select My Account and Customize Home Screen.

==== Edit Home Screen for Other Users ====
Administrators have the ability to edit the home screen of their Chime.Center users. Navigate to [https://chime.center/ax/#/manageusers '''Settings > User'''] (you may click this link if already logged in to Chime. Center). Click the edit button for the user for whom you wish to edit the home screen. On the edit screen click User Home Menu.

== Remote home screen ==
[[File:ChimeCenterRemote.jpg|link=Remote_AX|frameless|right|200px]]

The customized home screen buttons will also appear on the smart phone [[Remote_AX|Remote app]] with the Stop and Next buttons. If they do not appear right away, you may have to [[Remote_AX#Update_your_remote|update your remote]] (not rescan the code).

SmartAlmanac AX

Rickwhite: Smart Almanac

<div style="font-size:84%">'''[[Chime_Master_Help|Help]] > [[Operating manuals]] > [[:Category:AX_Manual|Advanced eXperience instruments]]''' 

All Chime Master ringing systems feature our unique and proprietary SmartAlmanacTM. This feature organizes an expansive musical library to always play appropriate music on the special days and seasons of the year. This means that instead of editing the system's schedule with specific hymns every week or weeks ahead, all you have to do is tell the system when to play SmartAlmanac music and it will do it for you. It is truly a set-it-and-forget-it system.

[https://www.chimemaster.com/digital-carillons Advanced eXperience bell ringing systems] provide initial Guided Setup screens that tailor the music and seasonal dates to your unique worship tradition. Our decades of experience setting systems up before shipping has informed the Guided Setup algorithms, and most churches never find the need to move on to the next step.

Log in to your [[Chime.Center]]TM Management Portal to make even more refinements to the SmartAlmanac. All musical selections are collected in Albums, which are given names such as General Hymns, Christmas Carols and Catholic Hymns. Each season is also given a name, starting and ending dates and times and most importantly, a list of music Albums. Beginning and ending of seasons are based on actual dates (and lists of dates), ordinal dates as well as movable feasts and seasons that are based upon other seasons like Easter. The system already has preset dates for both Eastern and Western Easter through 2099.

Using Chime.Center

2025-12-04T16:29:14Z

Rickwhite: /* Keyboard */

<div style="font-size:84%"> '''[[Chime_Master_Help|Help]] » [[Operating manuals]] » [[:Category:AX_Manual|AX Table of Contents]]''' 

'''[https://Chime.Center Chime.Center]''' is the best way to manage your ringing system.

Systems require at least revision 1.4.20 (See the Settings - About page) to connect with Chime Center and the Remote Control. If your system is connected to the internet, call us so we can enable updates for you. The [[Network_setup_AX|Network Setup page]] will help you get your system connected.

;Help with Chime Center
:Look for a blue help button with the letter ''i'' on it on each Chime.Center page that you can click for page usage information.

:'''[https://ezbells.com/ccpl Training videos]''' links also appear on each page's help button. A QR code for the video will allow you to watch the explanation while you remain on Chime Center.

;Requirements
:* [https://www.chimemaster.com/electronic-carillons#platinum Chime Master Advanced eXperience touchscreen bell ringing system].
:* Both the ringing system and browser accessing Chime.Center must have internet connections.
:* Up-to-date Internet browser (Chrome preferred) running on any device with an Internet web browser (larger screens preferred). This app will not work with Internet Explorer or older versions of Safari.

== Getting Started ==
=== Login ===
The Chime Master service department will email an invitation to the purchaser to join Chime.Center. Please provide a valid email address at the time of order for whom this person shall be. This invitation is unique to this person and has a time limitation of one week.

Click the link provided in the email to set up your account with your name and password. After you log in to [https://chime.center '''https://chime.center'''] using these credentials, you will be able to manage your system, including inviting others to join it.

We suggest using an up to date version of Chrome for best results. If clicking the link in the email launches your system default browser and it is out of date, copy the complete link and paste it in the address bar of Chrome.

Availability of features described below vary depending on
* Chime.Center subscription level
* AX system model features
* User privileges set by the system administrator

;Logout
: You will remain logged in with the browser you log in with until you explicitly log out using the top right button. Be certain to log out when accessing Chime.Center on a computer that is not your own.

If you forget to log out of a public computer, sign into Chime.Center and go to My Account using the top right button. Click, '''Logout Everywhere'''. To retain remote control app access without re-scanning the QR code, be sure to un-check '''Clear Remote Sessions''' before saving changes.

==== Login issues ====
Email addresses should be entered in all lower case. If you insert punctuation characters (generally stripped by email servers) when you set up your account, you must continue to use them on the login page.

If you forget your password, enter your email on the [https://chime.center/ax/#/lostpassword Password recovery page] and click the '''Send Reset Request''' button. If the email address you enter matches a registered user, a one-time-use reset token will be sent to that address allowing you to change your password.

=== Home ===
When you open Chime.Center, you will see your personalized Home Screen. All of the custom manual control buttons will be shown. These features can be activated from this screen the same way you would use them on the Remote App.
Setup and scheduling features that show as buttons on the front panel of the system are part of the Chime.Center menus.

== Featured menus ==
=== Music ===
==== Titles and Albums ====
* Player controls - Some of the music menus support auditioning of individual songs or albums.
** Play control buttons are at the top and next to each item: '''Next''' and '''Stop'''.
** Play status is shown at the top of the screen with the title of the title played or in progress.
** Beside listed items will be green '''Play''' or '''Shuffle''' buttons to audition the item.

;Play Selection Title
:Type any part of a title to search

:Select arrangement, available instruments and outside speaker status before pressing play

;Albums
[https://ezbells.com/cea0 '''Video - Manage Music Albums''']
:Chime Master has provided each Advanced eXperience system with a library of preset Albums. An album is a collection of selection titles. Each album has music that is appropriate for specific musical styles, seasons or occasions.

:In this menu, you can add, edit or delete albums from your system, as well as add and delete selections from existing albums. If you choose to delete an album or delete a selection from an album, you are not deleting any selections, either custom or prerecorded, from the system itself.

:There is no limit to the number of titles in an album. An album with only a few titles will sound repetitive unless other albums are included with it in a season of more than one day. You can always edit an album to add more titles or group it with other Albums for more variety.

:The Edit Album screen allows you to edit the name of the album. This does not rename the album, but instead creates a copy of the original album with the new name. The new album will not be included in seasons until you edit each season that needs it. You should also remove the original album to prevent duplicated music in the season.

;Selection Titles
:Show in Default Library - Determine whether the title will be displayed when you are searching in your Default Library.

:Allow in SmartAlmanac - Select if this title may play when the AX carillon chooses a SmartAlmanac selection. The title must be in an album that is linked to a season before it will play as an Almanac Selection.

==== Seasons ====
[https://ezbells.com/ccs0 '''Video - Manage Seasons''']

It is important to realize that nearly all of the options for season start and ending dates are much more easily accomplished by answering the simple questions on the installation [[Operate_AX_products#Use_the_Guided_Setup|guided setup]]. If you want to run the setup again, simply Clear Almanac from the Setup menu on the front panel of your system.

This Chime.Center feature is for those who wish to associate musical Albums they have customized with existing or new seasons.

:SmartAlmanac™ Advanced eXperience provides lets you set-it-and-forget-it then enjoy always appropriate music year after year.

:With Chime.Center you can set beginning and ending dates for each music season, determine which albums play during a season and even create your own seasons.

:All Chime Master carillons come with a typical collection of seasons. The default albums and seasons are configured for you when you walk through your system's [[Operate_AX_products#Use_the_Guided_Setup|guided setup]] and answer the simple questions regarding your worship tradition. In most cases, you will then be happy with the settings you find here.

:''Non-Seasonal'' is the name of the Season containing albums that will play when no other season is active.

:A season can last as little as one day or can span several consecutive days. It can be set up for a holiday you celebrate that we have not already defined or anytime you want a different album to play. When your carillon changes seasons, your schedule does not change, but anywhere you have selected an Almanac Selection to play, it will choose from the Albums in the current season.

:The size and number of Albums you add to a season determines how repetitious the music will seem during that season. During an enabled Season that contains no Albums, nothing will play when Almanac Music is called for. Clock ringing, prayer bells and other events scheduled with specific selections will continue to play.
[[File:EditSeasonCCAX.png|frameless|right|200px]]
:'''Season methods and dates'''
* Enable season - uncheck if you do not wish the season to take effect.
* Silent season - check if you want the season to suspend ''all'' scheduled events. You may continue to ring manually.
** If you wish to continue scheduled ringing without music, create a season with no musical albums in it. Events scheduled with Almanac music will not play any music during this special season.
* Begin/End methods
** Use same start and end times every year - uncheck to enter different dates for each year (Example: Easter which has all of the moving dates already set for you).
** Begin/End based on another Season's start date - check to enter a season rather than date (Example: Lent is based on Easter).

;Season Timeline
:Display beginning and ending dates for active seasons (enter a start date and number of days to look ahead). Each seasonal date will be displayed with its active season.

==== Custom ringing ====
Premium Chime.Center subscribers will find Custom Ringing on Chime.Center's Music menu. You can use this screen to customize existing factory supplied ringing or create your own.

There are three types of ringing functions which you can define or edit as described below. Tap '''Load Existing Ringing''' to make a copy or edit existing ringing functions (user or factory).

Name your file so you can find it later when scheduling or creating a home screen button for it. If you are creating a time strike chime melody, don't forget to create a pattern for each quarter and name them as described in the [[Time_Strike_AX#Custom_clock_chime_melodies|keyboard recording instructions]].

Digital audio bells are indicated with [[Bell_Weights_and_Sizes#By_Musical_Pitch|bell octave notation]] where A3 is a 1000 lb. bell.

If you have tower bells connected to your system, check the '''Use Tower Bell(s)''' box ''before'' adding and selecting bells. Tower bells are selected by relay output channel number from largest to smallest. Missing bell numbers in the selector for toll means the bell is missing a tolling hammer. If you change the tower bell mode after selecting the bells, unintended selections may result, so check the bell selectors.
[[File:CustomRingingCCAX.png|frameless|right|200px]]
;Toll
:A custom toll can be used when only one tolling bell is needed.
:Select the bell note, seconds between tolls, and set its duration to either a count or length of time.

;Swing
:Select from one to 9 bells and a time duration for them to ring. The bells will start in order from smallest to largest because the larger bells take longer to start and stop swinging. Larger numbers of bells will have their volumes adjusted to prevent distortion.

;Pattern
:A pattern is generally used for Angelus ringing or Time Strike chimes. You can select either to swing or toll up to 16 bells. Select a ringing tempo for each step in beats per minute.

:As you add bells using the '''Add Bell''' button, rows will be added to the pattern table providing selectors for '''Swing/Toll''' and choice of bell. Previously used bells cannot be selected on additional rows.

:Tap '''Add Bell Step''' to add beats to the end of the pattern. If you need the new beat inserted earlier in the pattern you can drag it left using the '''<-->''' button.

:Each column filled with squares represents one beat. Green squares trigger the associated bell on the column's beat. Tap the squares to turn them on (green) or off (gray). Tolling bells will be struck on every green square.

:For swinging bells, the first bright green square in the pattern will indicate where the motor should start. Tap on a subsequent beat to turn off the motor, indicated by another bright green square. Darker green squares between the start and stop point will be added to keep the motor running. Note that a swinging bell will take some time to begin ringing after the motor starts, and continue to coast and ring after you turn its motor off. You are also prevented from tolling a bell after it has been swinging to keep the tolling hammer safe. These rules apply for both real tower bells, if yours are connected, as well as our digital swinging bell simulations.

==== Uploads ====
;Upload MIDI
:Millennium and Platinum systems support MIDI file uploads. You can create chime and carillon arrangements of your own using popular notation programs such as Sibelius or Finale. Save the finished arrangement as a MIDI 0 or 1 file. Uploaded files appear in the User Recordings album and may be copied or moved to other albums for SmartAlmanac play.

;Upload Audio
:Platinum systems support audio file uploads. Chime.Center supports .flac, .wav, .mp3, and .aac formats. Uploaded files appear in the User Recordings album.

;Manage User Files
:Delete keyboard recordings or uploaded MIDI and audio files you no longer need.

=== Schedule ===
You should review your schedule before making additions as described below and in this video: '''[http://ezbells.com/csr0 Review Your Ringing Schedule]'''.
==== Create and revise schedule ====
[[File:WeeklyScheduleCCAX.png|frameless|right|200px]]
Weekly scheduled events play every week until changed.
Angelus and time strikes schedules are ''configured'' rather than ''scheduled''. Angelus and time strikes precede events that are scheduled at the same time.

;Create Event

:Time - Set the time for the event.
:End or Begin at - set so event starts or ends at the programmed time.
:Use SmartAlmanac music - when checked, you have options to select either the number of minutes or songs you want to play. When this option is not checked you can look up specific ringing or music to play, and build a list of these selections before saving.

;Configure Time Strike
This screen opens showing the current schedule. You can either clear it and start over or make slight changes before saving. See the instructions for the [[Time_Strike_AX|Time Strike help]] for detailed instructions.
:Select the hours you want to ring for most of the weekdays while '''All''' is highlighted
:Select a particular day of the week to make it ring differently from the others ('''All''' will no longer highlight).

:Click the '''9 to 9''' button to turn on the hours from 9 AM to 9 PM and all other hours off.
:Click the '''Clear''' button to turn off the entire selected day(s).

:Click the '''Top Style''' button to select ringing style for the top of the hour.
:Click the '''Other Quarters Style''' button to select the ringing style for the other quarters (melody or toll).
:Select the '''Time Strike Melody''' and click the '''Save to Schedule''' button at the bottom.

[[File:ConfigureAngelusCCAX.png|frameless|right|200px]]
;Configure Angelus
:Select an '''Angelus Pattern''' for your prayer bell.

:Optionally select a second pattern (typically a swinging bell or peal) to follow the first pattern

* play the Angelus following the time strikes at the selected times

:Click the orange '''+''' button to add Angelus times to the list (typically two or three times per day).

:Click the '''>''' button if you want to add a separate schedule for Sundays.

:Click the '''Save to Schedule''' button at the bottom.

==== Review the schedule ====
:Review scheduled events that are scheduled Weekly (other than time strike and Angelus ringing), Monthly, Annual and One Time.

:Click the '''View/Edit''' button beside the event to modify it.

:Click the '''Clear Schedule''' button at the top of the page to select the type of events you want to clear. You may clear any or all
* Weekly events
* Monthly events
* Annual events
* One Time events
* Time strikes events
* Angelus events
==== Preview and Played logs ====
;Review Upcoming Selections
:The next few days can be previewed including what SmartAlmanac music choices the system has made. Any changes made to the library or schedule will cause these selections to be changed (picked again in a different order).

;Review Played Selections
:Previous few days can be reviewed. SmartAlmanac choices can be challenged and remedied to your liking.

;Remedy disagreements
:Click on the '''Why will/did this play?''' button under the selection in question. A quick edit menu will appear. If a musical selection was chosen by the SmartAlmanac, the edit menu will display the album the title is in, the season the album is in as well as the season (active at the time) the album is assigned to. To change the SmartAlmanac handling of this selection and similar titles, click on the reason you do not think it should play. You will be taken to the appropriate screen to take corrective action.
[[File:ReviewPlayedCCAX.png|frameless|right|200px|Review a SmartAlmanac selection]]
* This event is scheduled at the wrong time: Schedule review screen
* This title shouldn't be in this album: Prompts to remove title from album
* This album shouldn't play in this season: Prompts to remove album from season
* This season occurs at the wrong time: Season editor screen
* SmartAlmanac should never choose this title: Prompts to remove title from all SmartAlmanac albums

=== Keyboard ===
The keyboard screens on Chime.Center are typically used on a tablet or laptop near the organ. MIDI keyboards connected to the local PC hosting the browser will not control the ringing system.

;Record Performance
:Replicates the local touchscreen and remote control app keyboard screen. This may be useful if you want to use the Music menus to add your recordings to Smart Almanac albums after each take.

;Keyboard Instruments
:Replicates the local touchscreen keyboard instruments setup page.

;Keyboard Settings
:Replicates the local touchscreen keyboard setup page. Allows technicians to set keyboard MIDI channels and transposition without having to be at the ringing system.

:The '''Monitor keyboard data''' button at the top of the screen shows you the notes and channels received by the system while you play the keyboard. Use this while changing organ stops and pistons to find which channel should be used for the ringing system. This feature is not available from the front panel of the system.

<div style="font-size:84%"> '''[[Chime_Master_Help|Help]] » [[Operating manuals]] » [[:Category:AX_Manual|AX Table of Contents]]''' 

'''[https://Chime.Center Chime.Center]''' is the best way to manage your ringing system.

Systems require at least revision 1.4.20 (See the Settings - About page) to connect with Chime Center and the Remote Control. If your system is connected to the internet, call us so we can enable updates for you. The [[Network_setup_AX|Network Setup page]] will help you get your system connected.

;Help with Chime Center

** Play control buttons are at the top and next to each item: '''Next''' and '''Stop'''.
** Play status is shown at the top of the screen with the title of the title played or in progress.
** Beside listed items will be green '''Play''' or '''Shuffle''' buttons to audition the item.

;Play Selection Title
:Type any part of a title to search

:Select arrangement, available instruments and outside speaker status before pressing play

;Albums
[https://ezbells.com/cea0 '''Video - Manage Music Albums''']
:Chime Master has provided each Advanced eXperience system with a library of preset Albums. An album is a collection of selection titles. Each album has music that is appropriate for specific musical styles, seasons or occasions.

:In this menu, you can add, edit or delete albums from your system, as well as add and delete selections from existing albums. If you choose to delete an album or delete a selection from an album, you are not deleting any selections, either custom or prerecorded, from the system itself.

:There is no limit to the number of titles in an album. An album with only a few titles will sound repetitive unless other albums are included with it in a season of more than one day. You can always edit an album to add more titles or group it with other Albums for more variety.

:The Edit Album screen allows you to edit the name of the album. This does not rename the album, but instead creates a copy of the original album with the new name. The new album will not be included in seasons until you edit each season that needs it. You should also remove the original album to prevent duplicated music in the season.

;Selection Titles
:Show in Default Library - Determine whether the title will be displayed when you are searching in your Default Library.

:Allow in SmartAlmanac - Select if this title may play when the AX carillon chooses a SmartAlmanac selection. The title must be in an album that is linked to a season before it will play as an Almanac Selection.

==== Seasons ====
[https://ezbells.com/ccs0 '''Video - Manage Seasons''']

It is important to realize that nearly all of the options for season start and ending dates are much more easily accomplished by answering the simple questions on the installation [[Operate_AX_products#Use_the_Guided_Setup|guided setup]]. If you want to run the setup again, simply Clear Almanac from the Setup menu on the front panel of your system.

This Chime.Center feature is for those who wish to associate musical Albums they have customized with existing or new seasons.

:SmartAlmanac™ Advanced eXperience provides lets you set-it-and-forget-it then enjoy always appropriate music year after year.

:With Chime.Center you can set beginning and ending dates for each music season, determine which albums play during a season and even create your own seasons.

:All Chime Master carillons come with a typical collection of seasons. The default albums and seasons are configured for you when you walk through your system's [[Operate_AX_products#Use_the_Guided_Setup|guided setup]] and answer the simple questions regarding your worship tradition. In most cases, you will then be happy with the settings you find here.

:''Non-Seasonal'' is the name of the Season containing albums that will play when no other season is active.

:A season can last as little as one day or can span several consecutive days. It can be set up for a holiday you celebrate that we have not already defined or anytime you want a different album to play. When your carillon changes seasons, your schedule does not change, but anywhere you have selected an Almanac Selection to play, it will choose from the Albums in the current season.

:The size and number of Albums you add to a season determines how repetitious the music will seem during that season. During an enabled Season that contains no Albums, nothing will play when Almanac Music is called for. Clock ringing, prayer bells and other events scheduled with specific selections will continue to play.
[[File:EditSeasonCCAX.png|frameless|right|200px]]
:'''Season methods and dates'''
* Enable season - uncheck if you do not wish the season to take effect.
* Silent season - check if you want the season to suspend ''all'' scheduled events. You may continue to ring manually.
** If you wish to continue scheduled ringing without music, create a season with no musical albums in it. Events scheduled with Almanac music will not play any music during this special season.
* Begin/End methods
** Use same start and end times every year - uncheck to enter different dates for each year (Example: Easter which has all of the moving dates already set for you).
** Begin/End based on another Season's start date - check to enter a season rather than date (Example: Lent is based on Easter).

;Season Timeline
:Display beginning and ending dates for active seasons (enter a start date and number of days to look ahead). Each seasonal date will be displayed with its active season.

==== Custom ringing ====
Premium Chime.Center subscribers will find Custom Ringing on Chime.Center's Music menu. You can use this screen to customize existing factory supplied ringing or create your own.

There are three types of ringing functions which you can define or edit as described below. Tap '''Load Existing Ringing''' to make a copy or edit existing ringing functions (user or factory).

Name your file so you can find it later when scheduling or creating a home screen button for it. If you are creating a time strike chime melody, don't forget to create a pattern for each quarter and name them as described in the [[Time_Strike_AX#Custom_clock_chime_melodies|keyboard recording instructions]].

Digital audio bells are indicated with [[Bell_Weights_and_Sizes#By_Musical_Pitch|bell octave notation]] where A3 is a 1000 lb. bell.

If you have tower bells connected to your system, check the '''Use Tower Bell(s)''' box ''before'' adding and selecting bells. Tower bells are selected by relay output channel number from largest to smallest. Missing bell numbers in the selector for toll means the bell is missing a tolling hammer. If you change the tower bell mode after selecting the bells, unintended selections may result, so check the bell selectors.
[[File:CustomRingingCCAX.png|frameless|right|200px]]
;Toll
:A custom toll can be used when only one tolling bell is needed.
:Select the bell note, seconds between tolls, and set its duration to either a count or length of time.

;Swing
:Select from one to 9 bells and a time duration for them to ring. The bells will start in order from smallest to largest because the larger bells take longer to start and stop swinging. Larger numbers of bells will have their volumes adjusted to prevent distortion.

;Pattern
:A pattern is generally used for Angelus ringing or Time Strike chimes. You can select either to swing or toll up to 16 bells. Select a ringing tempo for each step in beats per minute.

:As you add bells using the '''Add Bell''' button, rows will be added to the pattern table providing selectors for '''Swing/Toll''' and choice of bell. Previously used bells cannot be selected on additional rows.

:Tap '''Add Bell Step''' to add beats to the end of the pattern. If you need the new beat inserted earlier in the pattern you can drag it left using the '''<-->''' button.

:Each column filled with squares represents one beat. Green squares trigger the associated bell on the column's beat. Tap the squares to turn them on (green) or off (gray). Tolling bells will be struck on every green square.

:For swinging bells, the first bright green square in the pattern will indicate where the motor should start. Tap on a subsequent beat to turn off the motor, indicated by another bright green square. Darker green squares between the start and stop point will be added to keep the motor running. Note that a swinging bell will take some time to begin ringing after the motor starts, and continue to coast and ring after you turn its motor off. You are also prevented from tolling a bell after it has been swinging to keep the tolling hammer safe. These rules apply for both real tower bells, if yours are connected, as well as our digital swinging bell simulations.

==== Uploads ====
;Upload MIDI
:Millennium and Platinum systems support MIDI file uploads. You can create chime and carillon arrangements of your own using popular notation programs such as Sibelius or Finale. Save the finished arrangement as a MIDI 0 or 1 file. Uploaded files appear in the User Recordings album and may be copied or moved to other albums for SmartAlmanac play.

;Upload Audio
:Platinum systems support audio file uploads. Chime.Center supports .flac, .wav, .mp3, and .aac formats. Uploaded files appear in the User Recordings album.

;Manage User Files
:Delete keyboard recordings or uploaded MIDI and audio files you no longer need.

=== Schedule ===
You should review your schedule before making additions as described below and in this video: '''[http://ezbells.com/csr0 Review Your Ringing Schedule]'''.

;Remedy disagreements
:Click on the '''Why will/did this play?''' button under the selection in question. A quick edit menu will appear. If a musical selection was chosen by the SmartAlmanac, the edit menu will display the album the title is in, the season the album is in as well as the season (active at the time) the album is assigned to. To change the SmartAlmanac handling of this selection and similar titles, click on the reason you do not think it should play. You will be taken to the appropriate screen to take corrective action.

=== Keyboard ===
The keyboard screens on Chime.Center are typically used on a tablet or laptop near the organ. MIDI keyboards connected to the local PC hosting the browser will not control the ringing system.

;Record Performance

;Keyboard Instruments
:Replicates the local touchscreen keyboard instruments setup page.

;Keyboard Settings
:Replicates the local touchscreen keyboard setup page. Allows technicians to set keyboard MIDI channels and transposition without having to be at the ringing system.

:The '''Monitor keyboard data''' button at the top of the screen shows you the notes and channels received by the system while you play the keyboard. Use this while changing organ stops and pistons to find which channel should be used for the ringing system. This feature is not available from the front panel of the system.
