Selecting Students - Yamaha LC2 Music Lab Operation Manual

Selecting Students

A BANK light will always be on no matter how many students are in the LC2 lab. The light will
show the bank of students buttons 1-8 at the bottom of the control unit. A fully expanded LC2
system will have a total of six banks (48 students). Each bank has eight students organized in the
following fashion:
BANK 1-8
BANK 17-24
BANK 33-40
Not all LC2s will have all banks available. It depends on the number of expansion cards installed
on the system. For LC2s with less than all expansion cards installed, the BANK select button will
only cycle through banks installed in the system. It then returns to the first bank and cycles
through again. Labs with no expansion cards will be locked on BANK 1-8.
Teachers of larger, expanded labs will find themselves jumping through banks quite frequently
since they can only view the status of eight students at a time. If this is seen as a limitation, we
recommend using the MUSIC LAB MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE (bundled with the LC2
CONTROLLER PLUS systems). Using a computer, the instructor can get a birds-eye-view of
the entire class and enable students quickly without scrolling through the different banks.
A handy table of numbers is printed on the control unit to help you quickly find the buttons of
students in the various BANKS. For example, button six enables students 6, 14, 22, 30, 38, and
46 depending on the currently selected BANK.
