Lexicon 960L owner manual Quick Guide to Operation, Setup Control Mode

Basic Operations Lexicon, Inc.

A Quick Guide to Operation

Basically, using the 960L involves only the following:

1)Setting up the system for the job.

2)Selecting a machine.

3)Loading the Programs and Registers you want.

4)Editing the Program or Register parameters with the faders and joystick.

5)Storing your edits for quick recall at any time.

To make this overview as clear as possible, only one screen will be shown per operation. In practice, you may see slightly different screens depending on the selections you make. These are discussed further in Chapter 4, Operations in Detail.

(1) Setup (Control Mode)

Press the CONTROL key and then the WORDCLK Soft Button on the LARC2 control surface, to bring up the screen shown in Figure 3-2.

You can tell Figure 3-2 is in wordclock mode by the red highlight around the WORDCLK soft button. You can

tell that Source Selection is the active control because its name (SOURCE) has a blue background. The name of the inactive control, (RATE) has a yellow background. If the RATE control was active, pressing the Left Navigation Arrow would activate SOURCE.

•Press the number on Numeric Keypad for the clock source you want. (Refer to Chapter 4, Operations in Detail, to find out more about clock sources.)

•Use the Right Navigation Arrow to move to the RATE display.

•Press the number corresponding to the sample rate you want.

Note: A small padlock symbol in the System Status Display shows whether the 960L is locked to the clock source. If the 960L is not locked to the selected clock source, the padlock box will blink in red and the 960L will mute until lock is established.
