Leprecon LP-500 Series - Manual (Page 3)

The “I”, independent, fader controls only those channels that have been selected “I” by
the “M/I” rocker switches. The “I” fader also has a level LED located above it.
The switch marked “black” will disable anything assigned to the “M” fader on the board.
This gives the operator instant control over the scene outputs. When the disable
function is activated the red LED above it will be glowing.
HINT: This can also help in a quick change from an existing stage look to a chase
sequence. Activate the “black” switch and push the chase “on/off” at the same time.
Then reverse the operation to return the original stage look.
NOTE: All of the controls in the “grandmaster” section can be overridden by the chase
and the bump sections.
CROSSFADER
The “crossfader” section controls the top, “X” scene, and bottom, “Y” scene, channels.
There are two control faders and they operate in reverse order to accomplish a smooth
crossing between the scenes. In order for the crossfade to work the “M/I” selector
switches need to be in the “M” position.
The leftmost fader is marked “X” and it operates the top set of controller faders. The
fader is at its maximum output when in the upward position. The “X” fader has a
corresponding level LED above it.
To its right is the “Y” fader, which operates the bottom set of controllers. This fader has
a maximum output when in the downward position. The “Y” fader has a output LED just
below it.
With both crossfader controls in the up position the look on stage is accomplished from
the “X” scene. The “Y” scene fader is off. The operator sets up the next stage look to be
used on the “Y” scene controls. When it is time to change the look on stage the operator
brings both “crossfader” controls to the down position. This turns down the “X” scene
and turns up the “Y” scene. Creating a smooth scene transition with a rate determined
by the operator.
CONTROL CHANNELS
The control section is at the right of the board. This section contains the individual
channel faders, the “M/I” switches, the bump buttons and output LEDs.
The output LEDs located at the top are directly related to that channels output. The two
position rocker switches located beneath the output LEDs select either the “M”, master,
or “I”, independent as a fader source for that channel. The momentary switches at the
bottom of each channel are for the bump button operations.
