Function
causes a simulated external list start.

.
• If applicable, the start trigger for the list start occurs only after a track delay previously

,
(i.e. after
the internal encoder counter which was selected by these commands was counted up
(or down) by the specified track delay). Track delays are deactivated via initialization
(with
), via external list stops and via
. They can also
be deactivated with
(bit#2). External list starts initiated via
simulate_ext_start_ctrl
or via an external start signal, but whose execution was post-
poned according to the specified track delay, will be placed in a queue that accommo-
dates up to 8 starts. In contrast to
simulate_ext_start_ctrl
does
not
cancel the previous queue.
• A start trigger initiated via
simulate_ext_start_ctrl
or via an external start signal will
only trigger a list start if it doesn’t coincide with the output of a list (otherwise, bit#11
of the

cause an encoder reset. But if
accordingly set with
(bit#9), a start trigger initiated via
simulate_ext_start_ctrl
or via an external start signal will cause an
encoder reset if the start trigger is preceded by one of the Processing-on-the-fly
