Page 9: Startup
Startup The console will perform a brief test when power is applied. If the board fails power-on testing, the display will show: Any error message indicates problems that must be repaired. Some errors may leave the LP600 functional in manual mode only. -
Page 10: Manual Mode
Manual Mode The LP600, in addition to being a powerful memory console, can also be used as a simple two- scene preset board. This allows an untrained operator to immediately start using the board, and learn it's more advanced features as time permits. To set the LP600 to manual mode, press the 'preset' menu button. -
Page 11: Master
Typically, a scene might be set up with the X channel faders in advance, and when that cue is called, the manual crossfader is moved upward together to the X position. This leaves the Y scene available to be set up for the next cue. At the appropriate time, the Crossfader is pulled down to the Y position, and the now inactive X scene available to be set for the next cue. - Page 12 2) Channel Add Channel Add is the simplest mode of bump operation; pressing a bump button will bring the channel up on stage for as long as the button is pressed without affecting any other channels. 3) Channel Solo When Solo mode is selected, pressing a bump button will black out any other channels that are up, and bring the selected channel to 100% output.

Page 13: Running In Manual Mode
Running in Manual Mode 1. Set all X and Y channel faders, and the PRESET master fader to zero. 2. Set the manual crossfader fully downward, to the Y scene position. 3. Bring the MASTER fader up to full. No stage lights will be on. 4. -
Page 14: Patching Dimmers
Patching Dimmers: The LP600 series allows for a default 1:1 patch to be used, or a custom dimmer patch can be built. The custom patch allows the assignment of any dimmer circuit to a specific board channel. Up to 96 DMX dimmer channels, 48 Microplex and 24 analog channels can be patched. More than one dimmer circuit may be assigned to a single board channel;... -
Page 15: Using Memory Presets
To erase the Custom Patch: 1) Press the Preset menu button in the upper left corner of the board. Repeat key press until the "patch" LED is lighted. 2) Press the "down" arrow until the label "CL", indicating CLear, appears on the display.

Preset Menu: LP624 ONLY The Preset functions are controlled by pressing the 'preset' menu key on the front panel. When in the Preset mode, this button switches between four items: page Page Number preview Preview and Edit bump Bump Button control patch Dimmer assignment page... -
Page 19: Page Freeze
Page Freeze When the page number is changed, the presets are assigned a new set of memories. To prevent sudden changes on stage, any fader which is up ( above 1 on the scale) maintains its current ‘look’ or memory scene. The fader will hold its scene until it is brought down to zero. At that time, it is then assigned a scene on the new page. - Page 20 When the record key is pressed, the LED’s located next to the bump buttons will begin to flash along with the record LED. This is to indicate that the buttons are ready to select a preset to be recorded. When a bump is pressed, the scene is recorded. The preview LED is lit momentarily (along with the page LED), and the display verifies the number of the preset which was just recorded.
-
Page 21: Preset Playback
Preset Playback Once scenes have been recorded into the Preset Memory faders on the LP600, they are immediately available for use. It is not necessary to leave the record mode to check or playback the memory. With the master fully up, bringing up the fader for a memory scene will output the scene to the stage. -
Page 22: Editing Presets
Editing Presets Single channel level changes can be quickly made to a selected preset. The X scene faders are used to adjust levels within the preset. To Edit presets: 1) Press the 'preset' menu key to light the 'page' LED. 2) Use the display up and down keys to select a page number of 1 through 4. - Page 23 When the 'stack' key is pressed for the first time, the 'now' LED will light. The display will show: record m o de pattern page next preview step rate time bump ch ase stack preset This indicates that the current stack cue is blank, and no output is present from the stack. The scene number which is below 1, "--", is the blackout scene.
-
Page 24: Recording Stack Scenes
Recording Stack Scenes Recording into the Stack places a stage look in the cue selected as 'next'. In the example, this would be Cue #1. To select another cue, use the display up and down keys. Set up the stage look by using the X channel faders or any available presets. Press the 'record' button. -
Page 25: Assigning Fade Times
Assigning Fade Times All cues in the Stack can be assigned a fade time. The time setting reflects the total time to finish a complete crossfade from Now to Next. The fade time is associated with the 'next' cue. Timed fades are started by pressing the 'go' button. -
Page 26: Default Fade Time
Default fade time To simplify entering fade times, a default time may be entered for all cues. This can only be done when the Stack is cleared and all cues are erased. To select a default time for all stack cues, press the ‘stack’... -
Page 27: Editing Cues
When the scene number is changed from 1 with the DOWN button, the scene number displayed goes to "--", and the stack output is then turned off. This is how the stack can be quickly removed from the on-stage look. Editing Cues Once a Stack cue has been recorded, the level of a single channel in memory can be altered without re-recording the entire cue. -
Page 28: Chase
Chase The Chase functions are activated by pressing the 'Chase' menu key on the front panel. The board will enter the Chase mode. When in the Chase Menu mode, this button switches among the 3 parameters or items: Pattern - The Chase pattern to be viewed Step - The current step number Rate - The current Chase rate The Chaser level is controlled by the "Chase Level"... -
Page 29: Pre-Programmed Chases
Pre-programmed Chases The standard Chases can be run immediately without recording steps, but cannot be altered. These Chases are selected by setting the Chase pattern display to positions 1 through 4. The four standard Chases have the following effects: 1) Straight A single channel on, advancing sequentially from 1-2, 2-3, and so on until step 6 loops back to channel 1. -
Page 30: Level Chases: Lp624 Only
The LP624 has provision for programming channel levels as Chase steps. This allows any value between 0 and 100% to be programmed as a channel level instead of the on/off programming that is used on the LP612. The programming of levels is identical to the procedure outlined above for Chase recording. If the bump buttons are used to set channel levels, the only values used will be off and on. -
