7.4.2 Programming fading times in theater mode

Since theater mode presents a special kind of chases, it also
uses the menu and chase controls to program steps. Similarly,
theater mode sequences are stored as chases.
To program steps for a chase in theater mode, do the following:
1. Activate the theater mode, as described previously.
2. Press the CHASE key
3. Select “LEVEL” or “MEMORY”.
4. Modify the desired step or select a memory.
5. Press the SOFT A key for “ENTER”.
6. Use the DATA wheel to select the desired fade time (up to
10 sec.). A fade time is displayed if one is already set up.
7. Select “CONT” (continue) option using the SOFT A key. This
saves your programming and lets you enter the next step
and fade time.
8. Press the QUIT key to go back to the main menu.

7.5 MIDI functions

MIDI commands can be used not only for controlling your
instruments but also for controlling the functions of your LC2412.
In order to enter commands, you need some kind of sequencing
software.
The advantage of using MIDI for programming is that you can
program an entire show via MIDI and then simply let it run.
Another simple and clever option lets you transfer existing
sequences to a MIDI sequencer via the MIDI OUT connecor. A
appendix.

7.5.1 Cascading two EUROLIGHT LC2412s

Using MIDI also lets you cascade a second LC2412 to your
console. To this end, connect the MIDI OUT connector
first console (transmitting unit) with the MIDI IN connector
the second LC2412 (receiving unit).
Now, you have to activate the MIDI operating mode in the
menu.
Do the following:
1. Press UTILITY 2 key.
2. Select the “MORE” option.

3. Select the “SELECT MIDI” option.
Fig. 7.3: Display “MIDI channel”
4. Now you can use the DATA wheel to select the MIDI channel
used to receive (IN) or to send (OUT). Set up the console to
“receive” with the SOFT A key or to “send” with SOFT B key.

7. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS OF THE LC2412
All settings implemented on the first console are to be repeated
on the second console (e.g. changing storage bank). You can
recall presets, memories and chases on the first console (master).
In doing so, only control commands are transmitted; the storage
banks of the second console (slave) are not modified.
+
When you cascade two light consoles, you must implement
the programming of chases and memories in parallel, that is,
specific modifications to memory settings are not automatically
carried over from one console to the other. Only recall commands
are transmitted.

7.6 Storing data on a memory card

The EUROLIGHT LC2412 is an extremely flexible lighting
console, and you can use it for a plethora of possible applications.
You can additionally expand the range of its possible applications
by storing complete chases and memories onto a memory card
(PCMCIA ATA Flash card with 4 MB memory). This feature proves
itself particularly useful when you work for various artists on
different locations: you will save yourself a lot of time and
worries.
s Insert the memory card into its slot
matically recognizes the card. To use a new card, you first
have to format it. To do that, select “YES”.
s Now you can select one of the 25 storage locations using
the DATA wheel. Each of the 25 locations can store the
complete set of data containing all console settings.
s The display shows if the storage location you selected
already contains some data or not.
s With the SOFT A (“SAVE”) you can now transmit the data
from the console’s memory onto the memory card. Pressing
SOFT B (“LOAD”) transmitts the data in the other direction:
from the memory card into the memory of the console.
