There is one special consideration: When upgrading to Version 2. 40, the software recognizes prior versions of user registers and automatically converts them to a compatible format. The 960L software is not able to convert back from later versions. Therefore, when performing a "back-rev, " erase all user registers before inserting the release CD. It is recommended to save them first, noting the software version of the user registers. To do this, follow the instructions below: 1. Power down the system, wait a few seconds, then power back up. As soon as the LARC2 receives power, go to Menu Mode by pressing and holding the PROGRAM and MACHINE keys at the same time. [. . . ] 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. Several banks of factory delay programs are visible, but not loadable, in the Version 2. 40 software. To load these programs, upgrade to the 960L Version 2. 50 software. [. . . ]
