UPLOADING
PREPROGRAMMED LIGHT
SHOWS VIA THE CP-10XT
CONTROLLER
(PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS USING THE CP-3 AS A
REPLAY CONTROLLER. PLEASE REFER TO THE SECTION OF THE MANUAL
CONCERNING CP-3 AS A REPLAY CONTROLLER, PAGE 11).
The CP-3 has the ability of having programs from an Elektralite CP-10XT controller uploaded
into it via MIDI. This ability makes the CP-3 ideal for applications that require a custom
programmed lightshow with much less operator interaction than would normally be required.
PARAMETERS
There are certain parameters that must be met when programming the CP-10XT controller for
the CP-3 to be used in preprogrammed light show mode. These restrictions are due to
specifically allotted memory space within the EPROM of the CP-3’s memory system and
correlated to specific button presses on the controller. The parameters are as follows:
CP-10XT CONTROLLER
•
CUES 1 through 198
These CUES can be used in any combination to create CHASES.
•
CHASES 1 through 30
It is suggested that Chases 1-10 are used for “fast” programs, Chases 11-20 are used for
“medium” speed programs, and Chases 21-30 used for “slow” programs.
•
MACROS 1 through 3
In the ‘preprogrammed light show’ mode, MACRO 1 will be accessed via the “FAST”
button, MACRO 2 will be accessed via the “MED” button and MACRO 3 will be accessed
via the “SLOW” button.
•
CUE 199 is assigned for specific lamp strike values.
