Moving Light Select Buttons
When programming moving light looks, instruments may be selected using the
conventional channel Bump buttons. As with the faders, these twelve (LP-X24) or
twenty-four (LP-X48) Moving Light Select buttons (ML Selects) are switched between
high and low instrument banks.
Instruments selected for programming have two states, inactive and active. Inactive
instruments are still in the cue, but not currently selected for programming. This is
indicated by a constantly lit LED in the ML Select for that instrument. Active instruments
are indicated by a blinking LED, and will respond to changes in the settings of the
programmer. To remove instruments from the programmer, hold down the Clear key and
press the specific instrument's ML Select button.
Label Programming (Palette Programming)
The LP-X uses pre-defined and user-defined labels to set moving light looks. Other
manufacturers call these palettes. These labels are shown in the main programmer and
provide an easy way to set looks on different instrument types at the same time. The
labels are selected by moving through the list using the left wheel or by pressing the
Plus (+) and Minus (-) keys on the keypad.
Dowse/No Dowse
The LP-X gives you the option of keeping moving light instruments lighted or dark when
they are in a look but are not selected for immediate programming. Keeping the lights on
is called "No Dowse" mode. It can help build a complete moving light look by keeping all
the lights on that are in a cue
even after they have been positioned and set as
required. Dowse and no dowse functions are selected by pressing the side wheel (right
side of the display) in the ML Programmer screen.
Playbacks Stack Deep!
The playbacks of the LP-X console can each contain a scene list of many steps (cues).
This is true for conventional as well as moving light looks. When in Record mode,
pressing the Select button above the playback saves the contents of the programmer to
the next available step. The exact page, playback and step that were recorded are
shown on the display.
In Run mode, when a playback is raised, the first step of the scene list is output.
Subsequent steps are output, with associated fade times, when the Select button is
pressed again.
It is easy to store a look to a playback that you believe is empty, only to find that bringing
up the fader outputs a different look. Paying close attention to the actual stored location
when the Select button is pressed tells you where in the scene list the look is being
stored.
To completely clear all looks assigned to a playback, hold the Clear key and press the
Select button above the playback.
