Operations in Detail
Assigning New Parameters to Faders or
the Joystick
Except in Edit mode, the parameter assignments of the
faders and joystick make up what we call a virtual page,
or V-Page. This is simply a convenient grouping of para-
meters to simplify operation, but you can group them any
way you find convenient.
There are two ways to assign new parameters to the
LARC2 controls:
• Assigning parameters from the V-Page
• Assigning parameters as an Edit option

The V-Page and Parameter Reassignment

• Press the EDIT key on the LARC2 control surface.
• Press the V-Page soft button. The screen (Fig.
4-38) shows the assignments for each of the eight
faders and the joystick's X and Y-axes.
• Use the Navigation Arrows to highlight the Type or
Parameter to change. (You can also select a
fader or joystick axis with the Numeric Keypad, but
you still have to navigate to the Type or
Parameter.)
• Make your selection by cycling through the avail-
able Types or Parameters with the +/– keys or
touch the fader of the desired parameter. The
types are: "None", "Algorithm", "Input", and
"Output". Some algorithms can have more than
50 parameters.
• The fader or joystick axis is now assigned to what-
ever parameter you've selected.

Using the Edit Algorithm Screen

This alternate method is a useful shortcut: If you're in the
midst of editing algorithms, inputs or outputs, it enables
you to quickly pick a parameter and assign it to a fader or
the joystick.
• Push the EDIT key, then the Algorithm soft button,
which brings up the Algorithm Edit screen. This
holds all the parameters for the current algorithm,

in up to ten "pages" of up to eight parameters
apiece. (The highlighted down-arrow to the right
of these pages shows that there are more pages
below the screen; these pages can be reached
by scrolling with the Navigation Arrow keys – or, if
you know the number of the page you want,
entering that number on the Numeric Keypad.)
• Pick the parameter you need from this menu by
navigating to it , which will highlight it.
• Press the Options soft button. This changes the soft
buttons to Select (used for selecting algorithms),
V-Page (for assigning parameters to faders), and
J-Stick (for assigning parameters to the joystick),
and the soft-button background will change to
yellow. See Fig. 4-39.
Note:
In Edit mode, the parameters and settings on the
Scribble Strip are not a V-Page. They are the
selected algorithm edit page — the row whose
number is highlighted in larger characters for
easier reading.
On the Main Operating Display, parameters assigned to
the V-Page appear in blue; all others are in black.
FROM THE EDIT (ALGORITHM, INPUTS, OUTPUTS)
OPTIONS SCREEN:
• Press the V-Page soft button to view a numbered
list of the eight faders and their assigned parame-
ters (Fig. 4-39). To assign your newly selected para-
meter to a fader, type the fader's number on the
Numeric Keypad, or touch the desired fader.
Note:
You must already have selected a parameter
before you get to this screen.
