positions on the internal mixer. It is also possible to control the internal mixer using 
MIDI commands – see the Visitor section of the JoeCo website for more information. 

BACK:

 

This affects how you use the PFL bus. There are two settings: in 

toggles 

level/select

 the operation of the data wheel can be toggled between selecting the 

PFL channel and the headphone volume by pressing the BACK button when on the 
main screen; in 

Hold for channel select

 you have to hold the BACK button down 

whilst using the data wheel to select different channels onto the PFL bus. The latter 
mode is mainly for legacy users of BlackBox Recorders.  

Name Manage... 

The Name Manager menu allows you to set up the optional naming conventions that 
you want to use. Naming songs and tracks is not mandatory but it can help a lot 
during the post production process. It is possible to name songs and tracks using the 
menu buttons and data wheel but you’ll find it much quicker using a standard 102 
key PS2 keyboard. The “

^

” character in the following list indicates a keyboard 

“hotkey” - holding the Ctrl key on a keyboard whilst pressing the following letter will 
allow you to change that field. Most hotkeys can be used during a Recording. 

Next (^p):

rename the next Song that you record 

Reuse next songname

 will use the same song name for each subsequent recording 

Folder (^f):

 Displays the current folder’s name and allows you to rename it. NOTE: 

remember that the BlackBox will always record into a folder named with today’s date 
so if you rename today’s folder before you’ve finished recording all subsequent 
recordings will be made into a new folder named with today’s date.  

Song (^s):

 This displays and allows you to name the current song.
