ENABLES: Makes fader "live". Toggles fader  from READ to either WRITE or UP-
DATE modes.   In MUTE MODE, activates mute on specific audio channel.

MODE:  Selects Fader and Mute Edit Modes.

SYNC:  Selects SMPTE or FSK operation. While holding this button down, pressing
button #1 or #2 will select either the FSK Fast or Slow   mode.

MUTE:  Selects MUTE mode.

SHIFT:  Enables access to SHIFT functions

SHIFT  functions: 

NORMAL:  This puts 

MixMate

 into the standard self-contained mode.  The unit will de-

fault to NORMAL when power is switched  on.

PLUS:   This  is  used with the PLUS OPTION circuit  card  installed  for graphic dis-
play and expanded memory.

LOBO 1 and LOBO 2 :   Allow  the 

MixMate

 to send and respond  to MIDI Controller

or Note Commands in any range on a selected MIDI channel to allow an external se-
quencer or event controller to store fader/mute moves.

F1  and CPF:   Future modes to be determined,  your suggestions are welcome!

ECHO (Labeled F2 on some units):   Enables MIDI echo on.

MTC:  Enables output of MIDI Time Code when receiving SMPTE.

ERASE:  Clears memory.

STRIPE:  Initiates striping of selected sync tone to tape. While holding these two but-
tons down, you may select a SMPTE Frame Rate by pressing on keys  #1 through
#4. 

CHAN:   Display  and select MIDI channel (LOBO modes only).

DUMP:   Pressing SHIFT:   SYNC:   MODE  will cause 

MixMate

 to perform a Systems

Exclusive Dump of its memory.

ENABLE:  These generally either show the write enable status of a given channel's
fader, or  (in mute mode) show if a channel's mute is ON.

NULL:   These show the agreement between the physical position of the fader and the
actual level of the VCA. In Update Mode, the Null Leds show agreement between the
fader and its "punch-in" position.
WRITE  ON :   WRITE MODE
UPDATE  ON :   UPDATE MODE
Both On :  MANUAL MODE 
Both Off :  READ ALL MODE

FSK ON :   "smart" FSK Mode or external MIDI Sync
SMPTE ON :   SMPTE  Mode

While holding SHIFT:  SYNC,  ENABLE LEDs #1 through  #4 display the selected
