Using the PC Keyboard
Use the keyboard to perform the following data entry tasks on the MMR or MMP:
•
Enter Project and Track names directly by using the standard alphanumeric keys.
•
Enter Tape Mode Start time, Pre-Roll and Post-Roll directly using the number keys.
•
Access Menu Banks directly by using the Number keys.
•
Use the Up and Down arrow keys on the keyboard to scroll through the Setup Menus.
•
Use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll through menu parameters. Once the desired menu is
reached, press F1 to toggle the Trim key function.
•
Pressing Enter on the keyboard has the same effect as pressing STO on the MMR or MMP front panel
and will store the parameter selection displayed in the LCD.
Not all keys on the PC keyboard are active. Use the following keys:
F1 – Press F1 to enter Setup. Once Setup Mode has been entered, F1 will toggle the TRIM key on the
MMP front panel.
Escape (Cancel) key – This key is equivalent to the Cancel (CLR) key on the MMP front panel. Press
Esc to leave the Setup Mode and return to the Normal Display State.
Arrow keys - These serve the same function as the Arrow keys on the MMP front panel.
Enter key - Equivalent to STO on the MMP front panel. When a menu or parameter setting has been
changed pressing Enter stores the new parameter.
Shift key - Acts like a standard keyboard Shift key, but will only work in conjunction with Letter keys
and the Minus key.
Letter keys – May be used shifted or unshifted. Note that most punctuation keys are not supported.
Minus key - Shifted for Underscore, or unshifted for Minus/Hyphen.
Caps Lock - Works like a standard keyboard Caps Lock key.
Num Lock - When Num Lock is active (Num Lock is lit on the keyboard) use of the numeric Keypad is
enabled. The Number keys and the Enter key are active in this mode, and they function exactly like they
do on the keyboard. When Num Lock is not active (the Num Lock light is not lit), the numeric keypad
serves only as up (8), down (2), left (4), and right (6) arrows.
