03D—Owner’s Manual
Time Counter & Offset Displays
The counter display depends on the selected time base: MTC or MIDI CLK. See Setting
the Time Base on page 181 for more information.
TC Counter
The TC counter displays hour, minute, second, and frame
information of the incoming MTC signal. An offset can be
specified using the OFST parameter. When an offset is set,
events in the current automix are moved by the specified
amount. See Setting an Automix Offset on page 182 for more
information.
MEAS/BEAT/CLK Counter
The MEAS/BEAT/CLK counter displays measure, beat, and
MIDI Clock information of the incoming MIDI Clock signal.
The display shows 001.01.01 at the start point. With a 4/4 time
signature, one step before this would be –01.04.24. An offset
from –99 to 999 measures can be specified using the OFST
parameter. A negative offset can be used to advance automix
playback by a specific number of measures. A time signature
for automix start can be set. See Setting an Automix Offset on
page 182 for more information.
Automix Transport Controls
Automix has five transport controls: AUTO REC, REC, PLAY, STOP, and ABORT. Use
the cursor buttons to select them and the [ENTER] button to activate them.
AUTO REC
—Pressing this switch engages Auto Rec mode, which is indicated by a
highlighted AUTO REC switch. In this mode, automix recording can be performed
repeatedly. Recording starts as soon as the 03D receives timecode or a MIDI Start or
Continue message. You cannot start recording events until you select a channel for
automix recording, however, using the [SEL] buttons.
REC
—Pressing this switch engages Rec Ready mode, which is indicated by a flashing
REC switch. Rec Ready mode can be cancelled by pressing this switch again. The [SEL]
buttons are used to select channels for recording. Automix recording starts when the
03D receives timecode or a MIDI Start or Continue message. The REC switch appears
highlighted when recording starts. When automix recording is started with the AUTO
REC switch, recording can be performed repeatedly. When it is started with the REC
switch, however, it is performed only once.
PLAY
—If the Automix function is enabled, playback starts automatically when the 03D
receives timecode or a MIDI Start or Continue message. This is Auto Play mode. Auto
Play can, however, be cancelled by pressing the STOP switch. Pressing the PLAY switch
reengages Auto Play mode.
STOP
—Pressing this switch stops automix playback or recording. When automix
recording is stopped, the newly recorded data becomes the current automix. If the
Undo function is enabled, the previous automix data is copied to the undo buffer. Play-
back or recording also stops when the external timecode source is stopped.
ABORT
—Pressing this switch aborts automix playback or recording. When automix
recording is aborted, the newly recorded data is discarded. If the Undo function is
enabled, the newly recorded data is copied to the undo buffer. You must press the
