The control panel

Access to all of the operating commands is through the use
of the rotary dial, left and right keys and the ENTER key.
These are described in the introduction and used as fol-

lows:

The rotary dial moves you in the up/down direction.

The cursors move you in the left/right direction.

ENTER

is

used to step fotwards to the next page and is

also used to 'confirm an action'

EXIT

is

used to step backwards to the previous page and

is also used to 'abort an action'

When you leave the menu and return to the main page the

software remembers where you were. This means that by
simply pressing ENTER repeatedly you can quickly return

to the page you were last using.

On some pages the timecode is displayed. These pages are

lmix active' pages

and

can

be edited

even if

the

mix is

running.

Pages which do not display timecode do not

allow the mix to run at the same time.

Fader controls

The fader controls consist of two buttons and two LEDs

alongside each of the faders. These buttons and LEDs are
normally for RECORD (red) and PLAY (green) but they
have many other functions as explained in the following

pages.

Tape Machine controls

The tape machine controls are used to start, stop, rewind
and fast forward the internal timecode generator, provided
it is switched on. Pressing the stop button twice resets the
timecode generator to zero.
The tape machine controls also send out MIDI Machine
Control (MMC) messages out of MIDI port 2. The MMC
messages are all standard tape transport shuttle messages.
