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.

unit is locating, the PLAY indicator flashes, and play- back starts when the location point is reached.

NOTE

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

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-3200’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.
