Tascam MMR-8 owner manual Mon, Input

SHIFT+EDIT	Loads the start and end of the event currently under the play head on the selected
(EVENT)	track(s) into the In point and Out point registers (also called “event capture”).
MON	Pressing this key while in the Normal state allows the SEL keys to select which
	track(s) will be monitored through the front panel headphone monitor output. This
	does not affect the rear panel Studio Monitor jack, which always presents a mono
	mix of all tracks.
SHIFT+MON	Pressing SHIFT + MON puts the MMR into a Slip In/Out mode that allows for
(Slip In/Out)	slipping (or nudging) all material between the In and Out register locations on
	selected tracks. When Slip In/Out is active, none of the status LEDs for the Track
	Mode Select keys is lit on the MMR front panel. This is to distinguish this mode
	from all other Track Select Modes, wherein at least one Track Select Mode status
	LED is always lit. Upon pressing SHIFT + MON, the bottom line of the display
	will show Slip and a time code entry field. Use the Wheel or the Up/Down arrow
	keys to enter the amount by which the defined region (between In and Out) on the
	selected tracks is to be slipped. This operation does not affect sync on material
	which is not located between the In and Out register locations. Slip In/Out will
	overwrite any existing material on the selected tracks that is at the new destination
	location to which the material has been moved.
	To complete the Slip In/Out operation, press SHIFT +MON again. The bottom line
	of the display will show Slip In/Out to indicate that the slip operation has been
	performed. To exit the Slip In/Out operation without executing the slip, press CLR.
INPUT	Pressing this key while in the Normal state allows the SEL keys to change the main
	audio outputs from monitoring audio off the disk to monitoring the audio present at
	the track inputs and lighting the Input LED above the meters. Note that enabling a
	track for record automatically selects input monitoring for that track.
SHIFT + INPUT	When shifted (SHIFT+INPUT), the Input key toggles all tracks between the Input
(REP/INP)	monitor state and the Repro state. The Input LEDs above the meters and the status
	LEDs above each track select key will light or turn off as needed to show the
	current state. This is equivalent to engaging and disengaging all of the Select keys
	together at the same time while in Input monitor. This feature is a convenience for
	saving time when toggling this state for all eight tracks at once.
LOAD TRACK	Pressing this key puts the MMR-8 into the Load Track state, and is the first step to
	loading pre-recorded material for playback or re-recording, or for deleting recorded
	material. Information on the pre-recorded material available on the drive is
	presented in hierarchical levels on the LCD display, according to the EDL format
	of the material itself.
	For WaveFrame™ or StudioFrame™ volumes, this means the material will be listed
	in a Project / Episode / Reel / Dub / Track hierarchy, with Episode being an
	optional element. For Pro Tools™ volumes, the material will be listed in Session /
	Track hierarchy, and for OMF™ volumes, the material will be presented in a
	Composition / Track hierarchy.
