Basic Operations

Lexicon, Inc.

Basically, using the 960L involves only the following:

1) Setting up the system for the job.
2) Selecting a machine.
3) Loading the Programs and Registers you want.
4) Editing the Program or Register parameters with

the faders and joystick.

5) Storing your edits for quick recall at any time.

To make this overview as clear as possible, only one
screen will be shown per operation. In practice, you may
see slightly different screens depending on the
selections you make. These are discussed further in
Chapter 4, Operations in Detail.

(1) Setup (Control Mode)

Press the CONTROL key and then the WORDCLK Soft
Button on the LARC2 control surface, to bring up the
screen shown in Figure 3-2.

You can tell Figure 3-2 is in wordclock mode by the red
highlight around the WORDCLK soft button. You can

tell that Source Selection is the active control because
its name (SOURCE) has a blue background. The name
of the inactive control, (RATE) has a yellow background.
If the RATE control was active, pressing the Left
Navigation Arrow would activate SOURCE.

• Press the number on Numeric Keypad for the

clock source you want. (Refer to Chapter 4,
Operations in Detail, to find out more about clock
sources.)

• Use the Right Navigation Arrow to move to the

RATE display.

• Press the number corresponding to the sample

rate you want.

Note: A small padlock symbol in the System Status
Display shows whether the 960L is locked to the clock
source. If the 960L is not locked to the selected clock
source, the padlock box will blink in red and the 960L
will mute until lock is established.
