Leprecon LP-1600 Series - Manual (Page 22)

22
The LP1600 is much more than a two scene preset board. By pressing the
switch located above the Y preset fader, the lower scene of faders can be
converted to individual memory preset masters. This is indicated by the led
labeled “Presets” being lighted. These presets operate in a “pile-on” mode,
allowing more than one preset to be up at any one time.
4.1. Pages and Presets
When the board has been switched to Y Presets mode, several changes occur.
First, the bump buttons can be used to bump either the entire scene assigned
to a fader, or only bump a single channel. See the previous section regarding
bump controls. Secondly, the Y preset master control is no longer used as one
half of a split crossfader, as it was in two-scene mode. For this reason, the
fader operation is reset for minimum output at the bottom fader position, and
maximum output when the fader is at the top position. The Y Preset fader now
acts as a Master for the entire group of Preset masters. As such, it MUST be up
to output any scene recorded to Preset Scene Masters. An led located directly
above it indicate the level of the master PRESET fader.
A twelve position PAGE switch above the preset master selects any of twelve
“pages” of presets that will be active. For each of the pages, a different scene
can be recorded to each fader, therefore each preset fader can call up twelve
different scenes. The 1624 has 288 presets, and the 1636 holds 432 presets,
and a 1648 would have the capacity for 576 presets across all 12 pages.
When the switch is moved to a new page, only the preset faders that are at zero
level will be loaded with new scenes. Any fader that is not at zero will be in
“page hold”, and will retain its current preset assignment until the fader is
returned to zero. As soon as the fader is moved to zero, the preset for the
currently selected page is automatically loaded. This prevents scenes from
changing suddenly on stage as the page selector switch is turned.
4.2. Recording Presets Into Memory
Memory Lock
Because of the risk of accidentally altering cues or other information that may
be recorded in the LP1600, a Memory Lock feature has been incorporated. This
is in the form of a menu item that can be displayed and changed in the Setup
menu. The default setting of the console is with the memory UNLOCKED.
To lock the console, and prevent any modification of the memory, press the
Setup menu button. Turn the data wheel to the right until this screen appears:
