21.1 The sound function (SOUND)
Since many music tracks have passages with a very close succession of bass beats, a so-called gate
time (down time) can be entered. The gate time corresponds to a rest period, where bass beats are not
count by the Licon 1X.
To enter the gate time press the softkey TOOLS in the main menu and afterwards the softkey SOUND.
Use the middle encoder wheel (GATE TIME) to enter the desired gate time.
Tip
: A gate time of 0.3 seconds is recommended.
Press the ESC key to leave this menu.
21.2 The remote function in the Tool menu (REMOTE)
In the Remote menu of the Licon 1X, the basic configuration of the following three funcions can be
performed: a) the MIDI function, b) the linking of several Licon 1X lighting control consoles and c) the
control of functions of the Licon 1X by an external DMX console.
21.2.1 Basic configuration of the MIDI function
See Chapter 2.10
21.2.2 Linking two Licon 1X lighting control consoles (D-LINK)
In order to be able to control 32 fixtures, you can use the D-LINK function to connect two or more Licon
1X lighting control consoles to each other.
The fixtures (cabling, patch) are activated separately separately by the different consoles. The PAR
faders, master faders and fixture faders are also controlled separately on the different lighting control
consoles.
What is linked is the Feature Selection as well as the Cues, Chases and Sequences section.
A MIDI cable is required that you insert in the MIDI Master OUT output of the first Licon 1X (master) and
connect it to the MIDI Slave IN input of the second Licon 1X (slave).
A further Licon 1X (slave) can be connected via its Slave IN input with the Slave TRHU output of the
previous Licon 1X and so forth.
Enter the Remote menu as follows:
Enter the main menu and press the softkey TOOLS/REMOTE. Then activate the softkey D-LINK
(inverted) on all slave consoles.
