Skylla Commands
We’ve updated Music 1’s output to the Skylla automation system. Skylla now gets its commands in a more natural way. For such things as Time updates, hard- and soft-sync’s, network joins and breaks, a Player Command is added to the M1 clock, then the instruction is typed into a a text box.
