Auto start playlist
causes a playlist to automatically start playing without the
BlackBox Player having to receive any commands. For this function to work,
a playlist must have been created and named “Playlist default.txt”. When
the Player is turned on it will automatically load this playlist and start playing
it from the beginning.
Auto play next song
means the Blackbox Player will automatically load and
play the next song in the playlist when the current song finishes.
The
TC/Time driven playback
option selects this mode and also enables the
Stop song on TC stop
option. Note that this option allows the unit to play
back either in sync with the incoming timecode (LTC or MTC), or with
reference to the internal real-time clock (RTC). The source of the time trigger
is determined by the Timeline setting in the Setup Menu: RTC, LTC or MTC.
Remote Mode
allows non-synchronous playback to be controlled via MIDI, a
footswitch or a JoeCoRemote, while the
Local Control
option allows the
front panel to still be operated at the same time.
Enable song track offsets
allows you to play back songs where some tracks
within the songs are time stamped to start at different times. This is useful
when you have already created your tracks from a DAW and subsequently
need to add a click track that starts before the song begins.
Uncue Song
will do just that! It uncues a song so that you can modify other
parameters that are locked out whilst a song is cued.
Backup Armed (standby)
will arm the BACKUP unit in a failover
configuration.
Backup Takeover
will force the BACKUP unit to take over from the MAIN
unit in a failover configuration. It is a one off operation for use when the
MAIN unit is still working but producing distorted audio for example.
Chase play
is a feature that allows both Recording and Playback synced to
timecode. It will normally be used under 9-pin control in Outside Broadcast
vans. Disable Playback Mode in the Playback Manager Config section, set the
Timeline to LTC in the Setup Menu and set the Remote Mode in the Control
