  • Page 4: Selecting Students

    Selecting Students A BANK light will always be on no matter how many students are in the LC3 lab. The light will show the bank of students 1-8 at the bottom of the control unit. A fully expanded LC3 system will have a total of six banks (48 students).
  • Page 5 Example One When listening to student 3, the BANK button would be set where the first light (1-8) is lit and student button 3 would be on. 9 17 10 18 11 19 12 20 13 21 14 22 15 23 16 24 25 33 41 26 34 42...
  • Page 6: Interacting With A Single Student

    Interacting With a Single Student This is essentially paying a visit to a student’s virtual practice room. Once in the correct bank, select the student button and then turn on the MIC button. Think of turning on the MIC button as opening the practice room door.
  • Page 7: Broadcasting A Single Student For The Entire Class

    Broadcasting a Single Student for the Entire Class Select a student as if you were going to work with them, then turn on the BROADCAST button. The selected student’s performance will be heard by entire class. To exit this mode, effectively sending all students back to their virtual practice rooms, turn BROADCAST off by touching the student button again.
  • Page 8: Addressing And Isolating All Students Simultaneously

    Addressing and Isolating All Students Simultaneously To speak to and play for all students without hearing their instruments, and without them being able to hear each other, press the ALL button (the MIC will come on automatically). The students will not be able to hear each other speak or play but they will hear their own instruments. This is the key difference of engaging the ALL button versus switching on every student button (in every Bank).
  • Page 9: Allowing The Entire Class To Interact

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. But in an expanded lab this would have to be done for each bank. Yamaha has created a handy shortcut to get all student buttons on or off quickly.
  • Page 10: Quickly Resetting All Buttons

    Quickly Resetting All Buttons If you’re unsure about which settings/buttons are on or off, press and hold the MUTE ALL button and then tap the ALL button. This resets all of the controller’s student unit buttons to off. This is the same as turning the power off and then on again without making a trip to the power button on the hub.
  • Page 11: Setting Students In Pairs

    Setting Students In PAIRS To quickly get students working in simple pairs (two students per virtual practice room), press the PAIRS button. This will automatically place student 1 with 2, 3 with 4, 5 with 6, etc. 9 17 10 18 11 19 12 20 13 21...
  • Page 12: Grouping Students

    Grouping Students If simply pairing students isn’t flexible enough for your needs, the LC3 Lab allows you to create easily recallable Groups. Think of a Group as a kind of virtual practice room in which multiple students can meet at the same time. You can have as many as four Groups (A/B/C/D) set up in the Controller at any given time.
  • Page 13 Example Two Students 1, 3, 5 and 7 are Group A, students 2, 4, 6 and 8 are Group B, students 9, 10, 11 and 12 are Group C, and students 13, 14, 15 and 16 are Group D. In the illustration below, you are working with GROUP A, which has a flashing light.
  • Page 14 Example Four You are working with GROUP C, which has a flashing light. A, B and D are working by themselves. 9 17 10 18 11 19 12 20 13 21 14 22 15 23 16 24 25 33 41 26 34 42 27 35 43 28 36 44...
  • Page 15: Storing Custom Settings

    It’s possible to group students from more than one bank—students 1 and 3 with student 10 and 11, for example. Simply press and hold the GROUP A button, select BANK 1, tap student 1 then 3, next select BANK 2 by pressing the BANK button and tap student number 10 (button 2) and 11 (button 3).

  • Page 17: Using A Cd Or Mp3 Player

    Using a CD or MP3 Player For the entire class to hear audio from a playback device, simply connect the audio player to the CD IN jack on the hub. Turn on the CD button from the control unit and move the CD/AUX slider up to desired volume.
  • Page 18: Recording A Student's Performance (Audio)

    In this example, student 14 is being recorded. Using External Powered Speakers There might come a time when the audio in the LC3 lab needs to be heard by someone in the room who is not wearing headphones. With powered speakers (like a stereo system) connected to the MONITOR OUT of the hub, move the MONITOR slider up to volume desired.
  • Page 19: Using The Aux Input

    Using the AUX Input For the entire class to hear audio from additional devices like MIDI file players, metronomes or computers, simply connect the device to the AUX IN jacks on the hub. Turn on the AUX button on the control unit and then move the CD/AUX slider up to desired volume. When the AUX input is used, all students will hear the device regardless of which student buttons are enabled.
