The LPC can run programs that are timed according to the Musical
Instrument Digital Interface protocol (MIDI). MIDI shows consist of a
series of events containing cues, submasters or macros that play back at
times determined by an external or an internal clock. To run a time code
program in the LPC, load it in, connect a time code source and start the
time code running.
Refer to the Control interfaces chapter of your console user manual for
detailed instructions about how to create and edit time code programs.
The chapter also includes information about changing program loop time,
frame rate and playing back a program by various means. To connect an
external MIDI source, see Appendix A of your console user manual.
See Appendix A of your console user manual for information about
attaching a printer to your LPC. Connect the printer to the LPC port labeled
Parallel Printer. Information about printouts available from the Express
LPC can be found in the Printing chapter of the Express User Manual.
On the rear panel of your LPC is a RS232 connector. This is reserved for a
serial interface function that may be implemented later. It is not
operational at this time. Please disregard option 13, Serial Protocol Baud
Rate, on the Options Settings menu as well as the associated softkey,
[S2], ESP Baud Rate, in that menu. The Options Settings menu is a choice
on the Setup menu, which you may reach with autocontrol M7 / M4.
