[. . . ] Owner's Manual 480L Digital Effects System Lexicon 480L Owner's Manual Unpacking and Inspection After unpacking the 480L and LARC, save all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the unit. Thoroughly inspect the 480L, LARC, and packing materials for signs of damage in shipment. Report any damage to the carrier at once. Precautions The Lexicon 480L is a rugged device with extensive electronic protection. However, reasonable precautions applicable to any piece of audio equipment should be observed. [. . . ] FBL and FBR (Feedback Left and Right) FBL and FBR control the amount of feedback from the output of the pitch shift to the input of the predelay line. The control is at zero feedback when centered, and is adjustable from 0 to +99%. Some very useful effects can be obtained by combining pitch shift, delay, and feedback. About the Pitch Change Parameters Page One MOD (Stereo/Mono Mode) MOD selects stereo or mono mode. Move the slider all the way up to select mono, and down to select stereo. In stereo the two channels are linked, pitch shifting by the same amount and splicing at the same time. SNC (Play Sync) Normally the channels are in sync, but if PCH, FIN, or GL are moved frequently they can get out of sync. They can be resynchronized by pressing SNC. A small click may be heard when the button is pressed. PCH (Pitch Interval Stereo/Left) PCH adjusts the pitch interval of both channels in stereo mode, and the left channel in mono mode. The exact tuning can be altered by the fine pitch control, and the exact pitch shift in intervals and cents is displayed. The fine control must be set to the exact middle of its range if perfect pitch intervals are to be obtained. 7-2 Bank 8: the Pitch Change and Doppler Programs Page Three MIDI (MIDI Pitch Event Left) MIDI Pitch Event provides a fast link between a MIDI Note Event and interval pitch shifting. By establishing a patch with NOTE EVENT as source and PITCH EVENT as destination, the amount of pitch shift can track incoming notes in semitone intervals. Pressing the KEY will tell you the curent pitch shift. REF (Reference MIDI Note Left) REF sets the MIDI Note Value for no pitch change, NULL + 0C, when under MIDI control. MIR (Pitch Mirror Left) MIR selects the direction of MIDI pitch control. When MIR is ON, pitch is shifted down for increasing note values. GLL (Glide Stereo/Left) GLL affects both channels in stereo mode, and the left channel in mono mode. It changes the pitch continuously over a range of + one octave. This allows a glissando to be performed, either manually with the LARC, or via MIDI. The full resolution of the pitch shift is not available on this control, although vernier (fine tuning) is available by pressing the button under the slider twice. SPL (Splice Length) SPL sets the amount of time the splice takes to complete. It is only active at moderate values of pitch shift. [. . . ] Symbols are at the bottom of the range, numerals in the middle, and characters at the top. To enter the name change, hold down STO and press REG. Page Five Page Five contains the corresponding register table and the MIDI channel selection control. AUTO Sets the two states of SysEx Automation: Off or On (Transmit). Do not leave this slider set to TRANSMIT when performing SysEx bulk dumps or loads. [. . . ]
