current page is indicated on the mode display screen. For each of the memory
pages, a different scene can be recorded to each fader; therefore each preset
playback can call up twenty different scenes. The LP-3000 thus holds 360 presets
in memory.

When the Page Roller is moved to a new page, only the preset playbacks 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. Faders that are holding presets from a previous page will be identified by the
level LED glowing red. As soon as the fader is moved to zero, the preset for the
currently selected page is automatically loaded and the LED will return to its normal
green color.

The first preset playback, labeled “0”, is identical on all pages. When Preset 0 is
recorded, the same scene will be played back on all 20 Page rollers for Preset 0.
This preset will produce an identical scene regardless of the Page roller, so re-
recording Preset 0 on any page will overwrite the scene. This can be used to
quickly access a frequently used scene.

Basic Preset Techniques

To Record Presets into Memory

Recording presets on the LP-3000 is very straightforward.

Presets on the LP-3000 are recorded from the console’s current output. The level of
all lights—whether they are controlled from the X scene, the Y scene or another
preset—will be recorded as the new preset. In general, what you see on stage is
what you will get as the newly recorded preset. Presets recorded in Wide mode will
play back in Wide mode, regardless of which mode is active at playback time.

1.

Move the key switch to the Unlock position.

Recording presets, as with any operation that alters memory, requires that
the key switch be in the Unlock position.

2.

Set the Page roller to the desired page.

3.

Press the Record button, located to the right of the key switch.

If the key switch is locked when you press the Record button, the following
message will be displayed on the master panel display:

Cannot Record
Key Locked

This message is canceled by setting the key switch to the Unlock position
and pressing Record again.

If the key switch is unlocked, the LP-3000 goes into Record mode, indicated
by a message on the mode display:
