Solid State Logic Oracle 24-Channel Analog Mixing Console

Oracle V1.1.21 Update

Early Oracle consoles will have shipped without Stereo Group Input cards fitted to their Centre Processing Rack. This can be seen as missing LED’s between card slots 2 & 5 when looking through the Centre Processing Rack front panel perspex window. If these cards are already fitted, then go straight to page 4 to upgrade the system software.

Fitting the Stereo Group Input Cards.
Oracle V1.1.21 Update

Switch off the system and remove the front panel from the Centre Processing Rack as shown.
There are four empty card slots in the Centre Processing Rack and this is where the four Stereo Group Input (212) cards fit.
The cards are not numbered, so any card can fit into any of the four empty slots.
Remove the first card from its anti-static packaging and carefully slide into one of the empty slots, ensure the top and bottom of the card are located in the slide rails. It’s possible when the card reaches the rear panel connector it may need some gentle sideways pressure to locate into the rear connector(s). When the connectors are located, gently, but firmly push the card until it locates into the rear connectors and the front panel is flush with the top and bottom mounting rails. Screw the card in with the top and bottom mounting screws.
Now repeat for the remaining cards until all the rack slots are full.
Repower the rack and all the power LEDs on the new cards’ front panels should light green so the complete rack looks like the image on the right.
Další stage is to update Oracle Software and Firmware, as outlined on the following page(s).
Oracle V1.1.21 Update

Upgrading Oracle Software

There are typically three elements to Oracle software updates, the console software, O-Control and SSL 360° software.
Up to the V1.1.21 release, the update process is via manual software download.
The download links for the software are in the Software Downloads section of the SSL Support webmísto.

Downloading and Installing the software. 

O-Control 

The O-Control software is downloaded and installed as a .ZIP file into the host PC. The .ZIP file contains both the Windows and macOS installers. Choose the installer appropriate for the host PC operating system and install using a typical software install process.

Oracle Console Software 

The Oracle console software needs to be downloaded and then put onto a USB memory stick for installation via the Centre Section Rack Processor. The Oracle software file (SSL_O-Series_v1.1.21.n) is downloaded as a compressed archive (.ZIP) and it is large (>5GB). This means that the USB stick also needs to be a suitable size and formatted using a file format capable of supporting large files (e.g. exFAT).
Se softwarem file downloaded and copied onto the base directory of a suitably sized and formatted USB memory stick, this memory stick needs to be inserted into the USB ports on the front of the Centre Rack processor. This will also likely involve removing the front panel of the processor to reveal the USB ports if that hasn’t already been done as part of the hardware installation (see hardware install page).
Upgrading Oracle Software

Installing the Oracle Software. 

  • Power up the Oracle console and racks, if they are not powered and wait for them to boot.
  • Start-up and connect O-Control software to the console**.
  • Put the USB memory stick with the .ZIP file into either of the USB ports on the front panel of the Centre Rack processor (217 Analogue Rack Processor)This will reveal the USB ports on the lower front right hand side of rack cards (i.e. on the 217 Analogue Rack Processor) as shown in the image on the right.

The console will automatically detect the stick has been installed and has usable software and will start the update process.

It’s important to start and connect O-Control before starting the update process, as O-Control will report on the progress of the install process which will take typically 15-30 minutes.

  • A prompt will appear on the console centre section display to say that there is new software detected and does the user want to install?
  • Pokud aktualizace file is not detected, try removing and re-inserting the USB drive.
  • Selecting INSTALL on the surface should then start the install process for the whole system.
  • O-Control should monitor and report on the progress of the install. The console screens will also show installation progress, but may occassionally go blank as the update progresses
  • Tento proces trvá cca. 10-20 minut.

The console surface will be updated first and at the end of the process the surface will shutdown and wait for a surface power cycle to start up. The console rack software will also be updated and this will automatically power cycle when complete.

Aktualizace firmwaru 

Additionally, alongside the console software, there will be Firmware updates that need to be done to the console’s analogue processing cards. The required update firmware will be downloaded alongside the console software (i.e. it’s part of the compressed file). Firmware updates require access to the console’s maintenance menu’s which are part of the O-Control/O-Setup application and are found in the Settings menu.
If no Settings Password has been set for the console, then the Racks and Tiles Firmware Update sections should appear on the upper right hand menu area.
Aktualizace firmwaru

If the Firmware Update options do not appear in the Settings menu, contact SSL Support to obtain the number to unlock the Service Access menu. Contact your regional SSL support for a response code to unlock the menu.
Support will need to know the four digit number in the left hand box, they will then send a four digit code which needs to be entered in the right hand Service Access box.

Rack Firmware Update 

Having selected the Racks option, a menu similar to that shown below will pop-up.
Selecting UPDATE ALL will start the update process for all the cards in the processing rack. Expanding the “>” will show the progress/status of all the cards.
Rack Firmware Update

Tile Firmware Update 

Selecting the Tiles option will bring up a menu as shown below…
Tile Firmware Update
Unlike the Rack firmware update, each tile reports its current version and it’s update status independantly and each card needs to be updated one by one.
After all the tiles are updated, they should report their status as up to date.
With both the O-Control and Oracle Console software updated and the latest version of SSL 360* updated, the console update process should be complete.
Remove the front panel USB stick and replace the Centre Rack front panel.

SSL 360° V2 

Oracle V1.1.21 is compatible with SSL 360° V2 and this can be downloaded from the SSL Webmísto.

As with the previous release, to configure the DAW control layers of Oracle, Virtual UF8s need to be added in SSL 360° software..

SSL 360° V2
