User manual LEXICON 960L V3.0 INSTALLATION AND RELEASE NOTES REV 4

[. . . ] (See the Organizing Your Registers section in Chapter 4 of the owner's manual for more information. ) These saved user registers will be compatible with the current software version in the 960L. If necessary, saved user registers can be loaded from the disk to the Software Version 3. 0 system. However, it is recommended to save a copy of current user registers in case it is ever desired to revert the system back to its current software version. (See the Reverting to a Previous Software Version section on page 7. ) Lexicon Performing this upgrade is a simple process. [. . . ] Restore Factory Default Settings and Delete User Items Press 1 <ENTER> to execute Press 0 <ENTER> to return to the main menu without changes. 5. Press the 1 button, then the ENTER button on the LARC 2 to select the first option. When the process is complete, the 960L Boot Menu (shown above) will appear on the LARC2 display. Insert the software release CD for the desired software version in the 960L disk drive. When checking the software version (see step 7 on page 6), please refer to the release notes for the software version being installed to determine software revisions for the 960L and the LARC2. 7 Installation Instructions & Release Notes RELEASE NOTES Lexicon The list below includes features of 960L Software Version 3. 0 that are not fully covered in the 960L Owner's Manual or Owner's Manual Addenda: · When configuring systems with two DSP cards, there are no longer two soft buttons labeled CONFIG 1 and CONFIG 2. soft button accesses a menu that allows selection of the DSP card for configuration. The ability to use double-button presses to access options has been removed in order to support future functionality. Reverb algorithms now allow input levels to be set to a maximum level of 0dB. In previous releases, ­6dB was the maximum. · · Note: Setting the input level above ­6dB can result in DSP overflows. · When processing audio, loading a very small Random Hall program while running a large Random Hall program (i. e. To prevent feedback from occurring, mute the machine before loading the smaller Random Hall program. Parameters with an OFF position in the center of the fader travel can now be set to OFF by pressing and holding the FINE ADJ button and lightly touching the desired fader. Occasionally, LARC2 motorized faders may exhibit a "vibrating" characteristic when settling into a new position as programs are loaded. This characteristic may appear to be inconsistent from fader to fader. This is normal due to the varying characteristics of individual fader components. The faders will settle into a stable position after a short adjustment or calibration period. When in MACHINE Mode, some I/O and Mix parameter changes will be lost when a program load event is moved on the Event List screen. These parameter changes will be lost in the interval between the old time and the new time. The farther the program load event moves, the more noticeable the absence of I/O and Mix parameter changes. When moving a program load event more than a few frames, it is recommended to delete the event, then reinsert it at the desired location. MIDI is active at all times, except during timecode automation sessions. [. . . ] Automation Package Allows program changes, parameter updates, panning, and mutes to be recorded and played back synchronized to SMPTE/MIDI timecode. Up to 100 sessions can be saved and recalled to restore the entire state of the 960L, including wordclock settings, DSP configuration, and I/O routings. Hardware Options Reverb DSP Card Doubles the processing power of the 960L, allowing up to eight stereo machines or four surround machines at 44. 1/48kHz (four stereo, two surround at 88. 2/96kHz). A Second LARC2 Allows engineers on large projects to work unobtrusively on different machines at the same time, increasing efficiency. A second LARC2 also allows a single mainframe to be used in two different rooms. [. . . ]
