(2) Machine Selection
In most configurations, the 960L gives you more than
one processing machine to work with, each of which
can be programmed individually. To select the machine
you wish to program, use the following steps:
• Hold down the MACHINE key on the LARC2’s
control surface.
• Using the Numeric Keypad, press the number of
the machine you want.
• Release the MACHINE key
• The Machine Strip in the System Status Display
shows which machine is currently selected
• Note that you can also select machines in
Machine mode (see Chapter 4 for details)
(3) Program Loading
This manual has already used the terms Programs,
Banks and Registers several times. The 960L comes
pre-loaded with more than 200 factory Programs (such
as "Large Hall" and "Bright Chamber"). Each Program
is a complete effect that combines a processing
algorithm with specific parameters settings, plus brief
explanatory notes and comments.
These Programs
have been designed with parameters assigned to the
eight faders and the joystick for easy, rapid control.
Related Programs are stored in descriptively named
Banks so they will be easy to find. A Bank can hold as
many as ten similar Programs. For example, the Halls
Bank contains reverberation Programs that simulate
large spaces, while the Plates Bank contains Programs
that simulate studio plate reverbs.
Programs can be edited by changing parameter
settings, by re-assigning parameters to the faders and
joystick, or by modifying the NAME or INFO. Editing
does not change the factory Programs, but you can
store up to 1000 edited effects as Registers, which are
stored in separate Banks from the factory Programs.
To Load a Program (or Register):
• Press the PROGRAM (or REGISTER) key on the
LARC2
• Press BANK. That should bring up a screen like
Figure 3-5:
• Enter the number of the Bank you want, using the
Numeric Keypad. If you don’t know the number
and the Bank you want is not on the display, scroll
up or down with the Navigation Arrows until you
find it.
• Using the right Navigation Arrow, jump to the
Program list (or press PROGRAM).
• Enter the number of the Program you want, using
the Numeric Keypad (or scroll to the desired
Program with the Navigation Arrows or +/-
Buttons, then press the ENTER key).
