(2) Machine Selection

In most configurations, the 960L gives you more than one processing machine to work with, each of which can be programmed individually. To select the machine you wish to program, use the following steps:

•Hold down the MACHINE key on the LARC2’s control surface.

•Using the Numeric Keypad, press the number of the machine you want.

•Release the MACHINE key

•The Machine Strip in the System Status Display shows which machine is currently selected

•Note that you can also select machines in Machine mode (see Chapter 4 for details)

(3)Program Loading

This manual has already used the terms Programs, Banks and Registers several times. The 960L comes pre-loaded with more than 200 factory Programs (such as "Large Hall" and "Bright Chamber"). Each Program is a complete effect that combines a processing algorithm with specific parameters settings, plus brief explanatory notes and comments. These Programs have been designed with parameters assigned to the eight faders and the joystick for easy, rapid control.

Related Programs are stored in descriptively named Banks so they will be easy to find. A Bank can hold as

many as ten similar Programs. For example, the Halls Bank contains reverberation Programs that simulate large spaces, while the Plates Bank contains Programs that simulate studio plate reverbs.

Programs can be edited by changing parameter settings, by re-assigning parameters to the faders and joystick, or by modifying the NAME or INFO. Editing does not change the factory Programs, but you can store up to 1000 edited effects as Registers, which are stored in separate Banks from the factory Programs.

To Load a Program (or Register):

•Press the PROGRAM (or REGISTER) key on the LARC2

•Press BANK. That should bring up a screen like Figure 3-5:

•Enter the number of the Bank you want, using the Numeric Keypad. If you don’t know the number and the Bank you want is not on the display, scroll up or down with the Navigation Arrows until you find it.

•Using the right Navigation Arrow, jump to the Program list (or press PROGRAM).

•Enter the number of the Program you want, using the Numeric Keypad (or scroll to the desired Program with the Navigation Arrows or +/- Buttons, then press the ENTER key).
