Lexicon 300L User Manual

300L Quick Reference Guide

Selecting Analog and/or Digital Input

The 300L is factory set to run Analog In at 48kHz. To change the Analog Sampling rate, to slave-lock the 300L to an external digital device, or to external system word clock, press CTRL to enter Control mode. Press PAGE until the following set of controls appear on the LARC slider display.

This page allows you to view the current status of the box, (STA), define sample clock speed (CLK), specify a digital Input connector (DIN), and select Input type (INP), output type (OUT) and digital output format (OFMT). Use the sliders beneath each label to make selections.

View the current status of system		STA	CLK	DIN	INP	OUT	OFMT
parameters.

Press the button under the CLK slider to show the current analog clock sample rate. Use the slider to select a new rate.

Before setting the 300L to receive Digital Word Clock, use the DIN slider to designate one digital input connector (XLR, RCA or Optical) as the master for the system.

The INP slider selects Input type:

Single ANALOG, DIGITAL,

ANA + DIG.

Dual Mono ANALOG, DIGITAL, ANA-A DIG-B, ANA-B DIG-A

Cascade ANALOG, DIGITAL.

Select AES or S/PDIF digital output format.

In Split modes, the OUT slider allows selection of unused analog or digital outputs as patch points. (Selecting a patch point with this slider requires a return input in order for the unit to continue passing audio.)

Setups

The 300L is organized into Setup Presets and User Registers. Setups contain input routing, analog and digital levels and balances, LFO rates and shapes, DSP effect configuration, and pointers to one or more effects. The SETUP key accesses this top level of the user interface.

To simplify the choice among the many possible effect and system routings, the 300L is shipped with 150 Setup Presets.

The Setup Presets are organized as follows:

P1-100 = Single Setups

P101-125 = Dual Mono Setups

P126-150 = Cascade Setups

All of the Setups are listed on the reverse side of this card.

Single Setups

Single Setups (P1-100) unify both Machine A and Machine B into a single DSP engine.

All Single Setup Presets are factory loaded with a program of the same name.

Split Setups

Dual Mono Setups (P101125) load one effect into Machine A (left out) and one into Machine B (right out).

Cascade Setups also load two effects: one is loaded into Machine A, then the audio from Machine A is passed to Machine B.

When only one input is selected (analog or digital), the format is referred to as "fixed". When both analog and digital are specified to operate as main inputs, the format is referred to as "mixed".
