Programming the Memory
The memories in the Lightmaster XLS are
arranged in 9 pages, each of 24 memories. The
B Preset Faders become 24 Memory Masters In
Run and Program Mode. This provides an easy
way of recording up to 216 scenes which would
otherwise have to be set up manually on the
Presets. Any scene may be previewed (indicated
on the Preview lights), before it is output.
Programming
In Program Mode, the Program light is on, the
scene to be recorded is set up on the desk
outputs. The faders of Preset A are usually used,
but the action of programming records all outputs
at that time. Whether from Memory Master,
Presets or Effects Master, but not Auxiliary
Memories. Any number of channels at any level
may be assigned to each memory. To program,
select the Memory Page using the +/- buttons,
then press the appropriate Memory.
Flash/Preview button to select the memory you
wish to program. Observe the appropriate
program light flashing also. The continuosly lit
channel preview lights show what is in the
Page 8
memory now. Press the Program button to record
the new scene. Channel information in a memory,
is shown on the Preview lights each time the
memory is selected.
