CP-3 AS A ‘REPLAY CONTROLLER’
FOR A CP-10xt.
If you have just jumped from page 1 then welcome! So the CP-3 is fitted with the ‘CP-10xt to
CP-3’ download chip, then doing a direct download from a CP-10xt is extremely easy.
First create up to three macros (Macro 1,2, and 3) on the CP-10xt. You can use any fixtures.
You can mix and match them as you wish. You can use as many cues and chases as you want,
just make sure that you end up with at least Macros 1and at most Macros 1, 2, and 3. So you
can have as little as one macro and as many as three.
Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT on a CP-10xt to the MIDI port on a CP-3.
Go to the CP-10xt’s menu and using the + or – keys move round the menu until you get to
“MIDI CHANNEL”. Press enter and make sure that the MIDI channel is set to 1. If
necessary, use the + or – keys, to get to channel 1. Press enter to save the MIDI channel. Now
go back into the menu, use the + and – keys to get to “MIDI MEMORY DUMP”. Press
“ENTER”. Finally, press “GO” to start memory dump from the CP-10xt to the CP-3. The
word “SENDING” will be displayed on the CP-10xt’s LCD display and the LEDs on the CP-
3 will be flashing. It will take approximately 1½ minutes for the download to be completed.
When the memory dump is finished, the LEDs on the CP-3 will stop flashing. Pressing “FAST”,
“MEDIUM” or “SLOW” will activate Macro 1, 2 , 3 respectively. Viola! You’re done.
In the unlikely event that the memory transfer fails, you will notice that the CP-10xt’s display will
return to the original screen and the LEDs on the CP-3 will continue to flash indefinitely. Simply
perform the memory transfer again to complete the procedure properly. If the problem persists,
turn both controllers off and check your cable connections. Turn both controllers back on again
and retry the memory transfer.
