once blacks out the board and pressing it a second time returns the board to normal
operation. An LED in the Blackout switch indicates its status. When Blackout is active
this LED flashes.
Manual Scene Faders and Output LED Indicators
In typical LP-X usage, conventional lights are patched to Manual Scene Faders to give
the user control of the conventional light intensities. The green LEDs above each fader
indicate fader level. Manual Scene Fader levels are mastered by the Manual Fader and
the Master Fader.
Bank Button
The LP-X24 provides twelve faders in the Manual Scene section of the board. The Bank
button effectively doubles the number of faders by permitting you to switch between
controlling faders 1 through 12 and faders 13 through 24.
The LP-X48 provides twenty-four faders in the Manual Scene section of the board. The
Bank button effectively doubles the number of faders by permitting you to switch
between controlling faders 1 through 24 and faders 25 through 48.
When you switch between banks, you may have to match and grab levels previously set
in order to control the fader's level again. For information about match and grab, please
see "Conventions Used in this Manual" beginning on page 14.
Playbacks
When you have set a look that you like, you save it to one of the Playbacks by pressing
the Select button above the fader. Every time you press the Select button for the fader,
you add another look to the playback, giving you the ability to sequence many looks on a
single playback. Playbacks operate in a “pile-on” mode, allowing multiple playbacks to
be up at any one time.
Page Roller
Although there are only six physical playbacks on the LP-X24 and twelve on the LP-X48,
the Page Roller selects any of twenty pages that will be active for a playback. This
effectively increases the number of playbacks from six to one hundred twenty or from
twelve to two hundred forty. To switch between pages, turn the Page Roller until the
desired page number appears on the Page Display.
During playback, when the Page Roller is moved to a new page, only the playbacks that
are at zero level will be loaded with new looks. Any fader that is not at zero will be in
“page hold” and will retain its current assignment until the fader is returned to zero. As
soon as the fader is moved to zero, the playback for the currently selected page is
automatically loaded.
Solo and Add “Bump” Buttons
In Run mode, the buttons beneath the six Playbacks and the twelve Manual Scene
Faders (LP-X24) or twelve Playbacks and twenty-four Manual Scene Faders function
as Solo or Add buttons
or are turned offdepending upon the Bump mode set for the
board.
