EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual
Exception: When the LC2412 is in preset mode (“P” shown in the bank display),
the faders control the same channels as the faders of the A PRESET section.
This way, you can simul-taneously create a second preset.
(14)
– (17) These faders are also a part of this section, but they have a double
function. When the LC2412 is in sound to light mode (party light function),
they control the illumination level of individual memories assigned to
particular frequency ranges.
(18)
The BANK display shows the storage bank to which the memories you recall
belong. It also shows if the LC2412 is currently in preset mode (“P” diplayed).
The display starts flashing when you switch into preset mode, and lights
up constantly after three seconds. The preset mode is active only after the
flashing has stopped. This prevents accidental activation of the preset mode
as well as rough fades.
(19)
UP/DOWN keys. Use them to select a preset bank (0 - 9) or switch into
preset mode (P). The control lights flash when you select a new bank while
memories from the previous bank are still active (the fader(s) is(are) pulled
up). Pull the fader(s) ((13), (14) - (17)) down to fade the memory out. When you
pull the fader(s) up again, the memory of the new preset bank is visible on
the stage (also see chapter 4.1.2).
(20)
SOUND TO LIGHT key. See chapter 2.3.
(21)
PREVIEW key. It gives you the option to preview (or modify) stored
memories one more time before implementing them on the stage. This is
particularly useful when you saved chases as memories and wish to
double-check and/or modify their speed before integrating them into a
running show. When “preview” is activated, the chases are shown on control
LEDs exclusively.
Each fader is assigned to a FLASH key (section (4)). This key is used to assign a
specific bank position to individual presets while programming a memory.
2.3 Control elements of the Sound-to-light
section
( 3 )
The SOUND-TO-LIGHT controls are located in the right-hand section of the
B MEMORY section.
If the sound-to-light function is active, memories 9 - 12 are controlled by a music
signal, whereby the volume of the signal dictates the illumination level of the
memories. The music signal is divided into three frequency ranges (bass, mids,
higs). One memory slot is assigned to each of the three frequency ranges.
For optimal results, please put the faders to the middle position. This will let you
bring individual settings of memories into sync with one another, should the
levels vary from memory to memory.

(14)
The PAUSE fader is, just like the fader (13), used primarily to control the
illumination level of memories. If the sound-to-light function is active,
it controls a memory slot assigned to run during program breaks between
two musical pieces.
(15)
The BASS fader takes over the basic configuration of the illumination levels
for the memory slot assigned to the bass portion of the frequency range.
(16)
The MID fader is conversely assigned to the mids.
(17)
The TREBLE fader is conversely assigned to the highs.
(18)
and (19): Bank display and UP/DOWN keys, see chapter 2.2.
(20)
The SOUND-TO-LIGHT key activates the sound-to-light funtion.
The music signal necessary for controlling the show can be fed into the
ANALOG INPUT connector located at the rear of the LC2412.
2.4 Section

: FLASH keys and SOLO

(22)
FLASH keys. Pressing one of the FLASH keys sets the respective channel to
the maximum illumination level set on the MAIN fader, independent from
its own fader position. For this purpose, the CH FLASH key has to be pressed.
The channel flash function is automatically activated in preset mode.
(23)
Dual-function FLASH keys. Memories or chases can be stored to memory
positions 9 - 12 (chase to memory). When a respective storage bank is
selected, chases are indicated with yellow LEDs. Chases can also be recalled
by using the Flash keys.
Solo
When the solo function is simultaneously active (SOLO key (31), LED lit), all other
emitters or light elements are deactivated. Only the channel selected via the
Flash key is still active.
2.4.1 Disabling the solo function
You have the option to exclude specific channels from the solo function, so that
these channels remain active even when “Solo” is activated.
Disabling solo is achieved by performing the folloing programming sequence:
1. Press UTILITY 1 (28).
2. Select the option DISABLE SOLO by using the SOFT A key (38) located below
the display. The channel for which the solo function should be disabled
or enabled is shown in the top left section of the display. The respective
disabled/enabled status of the said channel is indicated to the right of the
channel number itself.
3. To select the channel you wish to adjust, turn the DATA wheel (36).
The desired channel can also be selected by using the Flash key
(for channels 13 - 24: first press the UPPER key).
4. SOFT B (39) selects “DISABLE” and thus disables the solo function for this
channel; SOFT A selects “ENABLE”.
5. To exit this procedure, press the QUIT key (40), thus confirming the procedure.
◊
When you disable the solo function for a particular channel,
the channel remains active in case when it is part of an activated
memory that fades after pressing one of the FLASH keys.
