Edit Tools for Registers

Pressing the EDIT soft button accesses three tools:

1)Copy Bank -- When 1 is pressed on the Numeric Keypad, the contents of the currently selected Program or Register Bank are copied to an internal scratchpad.

2)Clear Register Bank – When 2 is pressed, the contents of the currently selected Register Bank are cleared. The Bank is made empty. For safety, the user is prompted before the clear is executed. Program Banks cannot be cleared.

3)Paste Register Bank – When 3 is pressed, the contents of the scratchpad are copied to the currently selected Register Bank. For safety, the user is prompted before the copy is executed. Program Banks cannot be pasted to.

Using the Floppy Drive

Pressing the FLOPPY soft button accesses four tools:

1)Load From Floppy – When 1 is pressed, the contents of the floppy disk are loaded into Register Banks 101-110. For safety, the user is prompted before the load is executed.

2)Store to Floppy – When 2 is pressed, the contents of Register Banks 101-110 are written to the floppy disk. For safety, the user is prompted before the load is executed.

3)Format Floppy – When 3 is pressed, the floppy is formatted in IBM 2HD format. For safety, the user is prompted before the format is executed.

4)Clear Floppy Banks – When 4 is pressed, Register Banks 101-110 are cleared. For safety, the user is prompted before the clear is executed.

The files written to the floppy disk can be read and archived on any PC running Windows 95, 98, or NT.

The CD-ROM

Software updates will be made available on CD-ROM. Instructions on how to load from CD-ROM will be provided with each disk.

Machine Mode

If the 960L is configured as multiple machines, which can be seen from the bottom line of the System Status Display, pressing the MACHINE key on the LARC2’s control surface will show you which Program or Register each machine is running (Figure 4-26).

The currently selected machine will be highlighted in the list in the Main Operating Display and in the System Status Display. To switch to a different machine, enter its number on the Numeric Keypad (or scan up or down to it with the Numeric Arrow keys and press the ENTER key).

The fader and joystick assignments on the V-Page will then change to those for the machine you’ve selected.

Machine Shortcuts:

1)If you know the number of the machine you want to access, simply press and hold the Machine key on the LARC2 and enter the number – you needn’t wait for the Machine Mode screen.

2)Hold down the MUTE MACHINE button and, on the numeric keypad, press the number of the machine you wish to mute or unmute.

3)Hold down PROGRAM or REGISTER and, on the numeric keypad, press the number of the machine you want, and you will be in PROGRAM or REGISTER mode for that machine.

4)Hold down STORE and press the number of the machine you want and you will be storing the edits currently on that machine.
