The Effect Blackout provides a similar function as the Scene Blackout feature. The exception is
that it's used while the unit is in Effect Mode.

Some effects require an audio signal as a trigger. The Audio Input uses a standard ¼ inch unbal-
anced phone jack, it is located on the back panel of the LP608 Foot Controller. The input level
range is 0.77 – 100 Volts (line level and power amplifier outputs). The LP608 Controller auto-
matically adjusts the level of the input signal.
miDi
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a defined standard for communication between two
or more pieces of electronic musical equipment. MIDI was originally intended to relay information
pertaining to musical sounds and notes but we chose to use this standard to allow the LP608 to
be controlled by other pieces of equipment such as a MIDI sequencer or even a computer.
Connecting a keyboard to your lighting system works but it's of limited value, using a sequencer
or computer can send the commands properly. This helps automate the operation of the dimmer
bar/s allowing the performance to continue without undue distractions.

The factory preset MIDI channel is Channel 8. This can be changed by depressing the Midi
Channel Select button on the rear of the LP608 Foot Controller.
Once the button has been depressed, you can reselect MIDI Channel 8 only by pressing the
Factory Presets button. This will erase any scene setups that may have been programmed and
replace them with the factory presets. We advise the use of the MIDI Channel Select button prior
to setting up your scenes (or when you are certain you will not need to return to MIDI Channel 8).
To select MIDI Channels 1 through 6 simply depress and hold the MIDI Channel Select button.
After a delay of approximately two seconds, the Scene LED will illuminate indicating that MIDI
Channel is selected. Each scene LED will illuminate after a similar delay selecting MIDI Channel 2,
3, 4, 5, or 6. The LED, which is illuminated as the button is released, signifies the MIDI channel select-
ed. After another short delay, the controller returns to the state prior to selecting MIDI Channel Select.

Random Flash
Long Sequence
• Selection of an effect can only be achieved when the Mode Select footswitch is in the
Effect Mode. (Refer to figure 3.)
• The Channel Chase and the Scene Chase* are both controlled by the internal clock and
therefore settings are made using the Rate Control.
• The rate that the internal clock will sequence the Channel or Scene Chase* can be adjust-
ed using the Rate Select control.
• The Color Organ, Scene Chase,* Random Flash and Long Sequence require an audio
input to function.
• The Color Organ, Scene Chase,* Random Flash, and Long Sequence require an audio
input to sequence the effect.
*Note: The Scene Chase available by using the Audio Input cannot be controlled by the Rate
Control. Consider these two separate effects.
