USING THE MEMORY FEATURES OF THE LP-2000
Presets and Pages
The LP-2000 stores in its memory a complete scene, or preset, for each
of the preset faders located in the lower section of the console.
These presets operate in a "pile-on" mode, allowing more than one
preset to be up at any one time. Momentary SOLO and ADD bump buttons
and an LED indicator are provided for each preset fader.
The master PRESET fader, to the right of the X and Y Crossfaders,
controls the overall level of all the presets. An LED located
directly above it, and LEDs spaced throughout the individual preset
faders, indicate the level of the master PRESET fader.
An eight-sided PAGE roller above the preset faders selects any of
eight "pages" of presets that will be active; when the console is in
Run mode, the current page is indicated on the display screen. For
each of the eight pages, a different scene can be recorded to each
fader, therefore each preset fader can call up eight different scenes.
A 24-channel LP-2000 thus holds 96 presets, and the 48- through 120-
channel consoles hold 192 presets. The roller is designed to hold
tape strips to label the preset faders for each page.
When the roller is moved to a new page, only the preset faders that
are at zero level will be loaded with new scenes. Any fader that is
not at zero will be in "page hold", and will retain its current preset
assignment until the fader is returned to zero. Faders that are
holding presets from a previous page will be identified by the level
LED glowing red. As soon as the fader is moved to zero, the preset
for the currently selected page is automatically loaded and the LED
will return to its normal green color.
Preset 0 is an extra preset that has no page location, therefore it
always contains the same scene, regardless of which page is selected.
Previewing Presets
Any preset entered in the LP-2000 can be instantly previewed whenever
the board is in "Run" mode (selected by pressing the green RUN button
to the right of the keyswitch). Pressing the numbered black Select
button above a preset fader will produce a message on the display
screen such as "PREVIEW PRESET 10" and the relative levels of the
stage lights will be indicated on the output LEDs above the channel
faders. Another preset can be previewed by pressing another numbered
Select button, or the preview mode can be cancelled by pressing the
green RUN button. Otherwise, the preview will be automatically
cancelled after approximately ten seconds. (Note: Software versions
prior to 1.10 did not implement this cancel feature.)
