Recording Presets Into Memory
Recording and editing presets on the LP-2000 is quick and simple.
First of all, note that any operation that affects the LP-2000's
memory requires that the keyswitch be in the Unlocked position.
Presets on the LP-2000 are recorded from the console's current output.
In other words, the levels of all lights, whether they are controlled
from the X scene, the Y scene, another preset, the Cue Stack (LP-2000
Cue Plus only), or any combination of these, will be recorded as the
new preset. In general, what you see on stage is what you will get as
a preset. Thus, when the MASTER fader and the PRESET Master are at
maximum, raising a particular preset fader to maximum will recreate
the exact output of the console at the moment that preset was
recorded.
To record a preset, first set the PAGE roller to the desired page,
make sure the keyswitch is in the Unlocked position, and press the red
RECORD button, located to the right of the keyswitch. (If the
keyswitch is Locked, pressing the RECORD button elicits the message,
"CANNOT RECORD - KEY LOCKED." This message will remain on the display
screen until the RUN button is pressed, or until the switch is
Unlocked and RECORD is pressed once again.) This puts the console in
Record mode, indicated by a "RECORD MODE" message on the display, and
by flashing yellow LEDs in the row of numbered preset Select switches.
(Note that the console must first be in Run mode before entering
Record.)
Set up the desired scene by using either the X or Y channel
faders and/or any combination of presets. When the desired new scene
has been achieved, press the numbered preset Select switch to record
the new scene to that preset location. The display will then indicate
which preset has just been recorded. Use a tape strip on the roller
to label the new presets, and return the keyswitch to the Locked
position after all preset recording has been completed.
Preset faders which are in "page hold", marked by red LEDs, can also
be recorded; the new scene will be stored in place of the preset which
is currently active, not the preset location indicated by the PAGE
roller. In other words, if the roller is on page 5 and preset 1 is
brought up, then the roller is moved to page 6 (at which point, the
LED over preset fader 1 turns red), pressing the Select switch
numbered "1" will record the onstage scene into preset 1 of page 5,
not page 6.
Preset 0 does not change when a new page is selected, therefore it can
be recorded at any time.
