scene chores, the operator is much freer to concentrate on the auxiliary and
effect lighting.
Step-Time sequencing of Lighting cues
Rather than manually performing lighting cues in real-time as they are
recorded into a sequencer, it is possible - mainly with software sequencers
running on personal computers - to enter data from the computer keyboard in
“step-time.” In other words, without the sequencer actually running, the first
lighting cue is typed in to occur in a specific measure of the song. Then, the
next cue and its timing are typed in, and so on. With this method, it is possible
to program extremely complex events with perfect timing and brightness
accuracy.
Exactly how such cues are entered depends on the sequencer itself, but you
will, in any case, need to know the MIDI continuous controller numbers that
coincide with each of the LP1600’s functions. As an example, if you wanted to
program a bump of channel 37, you would need to enter a command for
continuous controller number 48 to go to a value of (37 + 64 = ) 101 when the
bump starts, and to go to a value of (37 + 0 = ) 37 when the bump ends. For a
table of this information, see section 8.4, MIDI Continuous Controller
Assignment.
