SETUP 5 - Function: SMPTE START
You can start a Sequence by pushing PLAY (see SEQUENCER PLAY), or have the
Sequence start automatically at a specific frame of the SMPTE time code. In this
case, you would select SMPTE time code as the External Clock, and press PLAY
(the PLAY LED will flash). As soon as the Emulator II receives the SNPTE time
code frame number specified in this step, the Sequence will start playing and the
PLAY LED will be lit continuously. You may also set a SMPTE start point when
recording SMPTE time code on tape.
The SMPTE START feature is invaluable for film work, as you can sequence
different sound effects and have them “drop in” at particular points in accordance
with the time code.
1. With the SETUP sub-module active, key in 5. The display says:
SMPTE Start
00:00:00:00
The four pairs of digits represent (in order) hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.
Use the keypad to enter the desired SMPTE start point; remember that the
number of frames cannot exceed the number specified for the SMPTE frames-
per-second rate specified during the EXT CLK setup routine. The SMPTE start
point is remembered as part of the Sequence.
2. To continue with the setup process, press ENTER to return to the Module
Identifier, and then select the next function (SEQUENCER SETUP 6).
SETUP 6 - COUNTDOWN
If you’d like a countdown before recording or playing back a Sequence, you’ve
come to the right place.
1. With the SETUP sub-module active, key in 6. The display says:
Countdown=0beats
Press (0 – 9)
The default setting is 0 beats; in other words, the Sequence starts recording or
playing back the instant you press PLAY. Use the keypad to program the number
of beats in the countdown. The countdown will remain until changed, and occur
every time you record or play back a Sequence. Note that “beat” refers to the
beat as defined in SEQUENCER DEFINE 2 (Time Signature), not necessarily the
metronome click.
2. To exit, press ENTER (returns to Module Identifier), deactivate the sub-module,
or activate another sub-module.
