Machine control setup
With the
ALT
indicator lit, press the
REMOTE
key.
Use the first soft key to bring up this screen:
This allows the setting of various machine control
parameters.
Edit Frames
When this is set on, location memories, etc. are
edited to frame accuracy. When it is set to off, loca-
tion settings are made to second accuracy.
Cueing mode
When this is on (checked), the
FF
and
REW
keys act
as shuttle keys. Press the key in play mode to enter
fast cueing shuttle mode, and release it to re-enter
play mode.
In non-play mode, these keys function normally,
even with this option selected.
Play Mode
This function determines the way in which the
PLAY
key works in conjunction with the location facilities.
There are three settings:
Auto
,
Deferred
and
Immediate
.
AUTO
The
PLAY
indicator flashes as the unit is
locating to a location point. When the location point
is reached, playback starts automatically. However, if
the
PLAY
key is pressed before the location point is
reached, the unit stops locating and starts playing.
DEFERRED
The unit stops after location is com-
pleted. However, if the
PLAY
key is pressed while the
unit is locating, the
PLAY
indicator flashes, and play-
back starts when the location point is reached.
NOTE
Because an open MMC connection cannot determine
when the locate point has been reached, deferred play
is not possible for a machine controlled in this way.
IMMEDIATE
The unit stops after location is com-
pleted. If the
PLAY
key is pressed while the unit is
locating, the machine goes straight into play mode,
without locating.
Play Command Type
Use this option to make the play commands from the
DM-4800’s MIDI Machine Control compatible with
the unit being controlled.
There are two options:
True (02h)
and
Deferred (03h)
.
Consult the documentation of your other equipment
for details of compatibility.
