Operations in Detail

Loading Programs and Registers

With more than 200 factory Programs to choose from, plus up to 1,000 Registers of your own creation, you’ll probably spend most of your time with the 960L loading the effects you want.

To simplify the selection of an appropriate effect, the 960L programs are organized as 24 Banks of up to ten related effects (see the Appendix for Program Descriptions). There are 100 Banks available for Registers and 10 Banks for Floppy storage and retrieval.

Loading Programs

When you first install the 960L, it will contain only factory Programs. There are several ways to select and load Programs. The simplest is designed to be familiar to users who know the Lexicon 480L:

Press the PROGRAM key, then the BANK key, to bring up a list of Program Banks (Fig. 4-1)

Scan the list of Banks to find one you want (e.g., "Halls")

Select that Bank by entering its number on the Numeric Keypad (or by scrolling to it with the Navigation Arrow keys).

Press the Program key to get to the list of Programs

Select the desired Program by entering its number on the Numeric Keypad (or by scrolling to it with the Navigation Arrow keys and pressing the Enter key).

Note: When you change Programs, the display will change and the motorized faders will move to the positions corresponding to that Program’s parameter settings.

If you already know the location of the Program you want, you can do all this in just a few keystrokes:

If you don’t know the location of the Program you want, the procedure is similar, except that you can scroll up and down through the list of Banks to find the one you want.

Fader Labels in Scribble Strip are from the currently loaded program.
