Zero 88 Lightmaster XL User Manual

Introduction
This Manual
This manual describes the operation and
programming of a Lightmaster XL. It begins with
simple two preset operation, and progresses in
easy stages to running complete, complex
shows. Each section begins with a basic
description of controls and functions, followed by
a step by step, diagrammatic guide, provided to
give the first time user a “hands-on” approach.
Notes are included in each explanatory section to
provide more detailed information on some of the
desk’s features, together with hints giving
suggestions as to possible applications.

The Desk
The desk is divided into six distinct sections:
Master controls, Presets, a Memory section, an
Effects section, the MIDI function and the Super
User function. These sections can be used to
control the output channels in a variety of ways.
➢
The Master controls provide overall control of the
entire desk
➢ The Presets offer manual control of individual
channels
➢ The Memory section allows storage and retrieval of
lighting scenes, using the B preset as memory
masters
➢ The Effects section allows storage and retrieval of
chase and audio effects
➢ The MIDI function allows the desk to operate with
any MIDI equipment
➢ The Super User functions allow protected access to
functions that affect the overall desk operation
including Memory Card saving and loading
DMX 512
Each Lightmaster XL has a USITT DMX512
output as standard. Under Super User control, it
will output DMX signals to the 1990 or pre 1990
standards. There is a built in soft patch allowing
up to 96 dimmer channels to be addressed.
MIDI
The Lightmaster XL uses MIDI in three ways:
➢
As a means of linking two or more Lightmaster XL
desks for memory transfer or for Master/Slave
operation
➢ To allow a relatively simple electronic keyboard to
control individual channels and memories
➢ To allow more complex instruments such as
sequencers to control scene changes, even to the
extent of making such changes into a sophisticated
chase
The Memory Card
A Zero 88 Memory Card will store all the
memories and setup of a Lightmaster XL.
