11. Display Select key [DISP SEL/TIME BASE SEL]

This key is used to change the display mode. Pressing this key repeatedly will change the display mode as follows:

The current position

Disk space (remain)

MTC IN or TC IN display

If an optional Model 8345 TC/SYNC card is installed, information in the MTC IN or TC IN will differ depending on "Ref. TC?" menu setting (MTC or LTC) in the SETUP mode. If the card is not installed, "00h 00m 00s 00f 00sf" will always be displayed.

*Refer to page "25" in regards to REMAIN, page "105" on the SETUP menu, and the APPENDIX on details if the Model 8345 TC/SYNC card is installed.

Pressing this key while holding down the [SHIFT] key will switch the Time Base (*) as follows. The Time Base can be set when the display shows the recorder’s current position or the available disk space (REMAIN).

ABS time base

Bar/beat/clk time base

MTC time base

(*) Time Base:

The recorder uses time display (ABS or MTC) or Bar/Beat/ Clock display to indicate the current position of the recorder section. These displays are called “Time Base.” ABS (Absolute Time) shows the absolute time of the disk, and MTC (MIDI Time code) shows the relative time obtained by adding an MTC offset value to the ABS value.

Bar/Beat/Clock (BAR/BEAT/CLK) indicates a position within a piece of music and conforms to the MIDI clock and Song Position Pointers created on the internal Tempo Map.

*Refer to pages “24” and “105” for more information about MTC and the internal Tempo Map.

You can specify the program at executing chain play when this key is pressed.

* Refer to page “57” for details on the chain play mode.

13. Store key [STORE/HOLD]

This key is for storing time figures (or measure/beat/ clock figure) in any memory key.

Following this key, when each memory key is pressed, data shown in the display will be stored in their respective memory key.

Using "Press LOCATE **", which is shown after pressing the [RECALL] key, if this key is pressed after input of any number (00-99) in "**," it is registered as time data for the specified locate number.

If this key is pressed while holding down on the [SHIFT] key, the currently shown time (BAR/BEAT/ CLK) will be held and this data can then be edited. After editing, the time thus edited will be stored using the procedure above.

* Refer to page “50” for registering in the memory key.

14. Exit key/No key [EXIT/NO/EJECT]

The opposite of the [EXECUTE/YES] key, this key is used to stop operation. When using a removable type SCSI device for backup, if the "Drive setting" in the SETUP mode is set to "SCSI6", the SCSI disk can be ejected by pressing this key while pressing on the [SHIFT] key when the SCSI disk is stopped.

15. Execute/Yes key [EXECUTE/YES/CHASE]

Press this key to execute the operation when you edit data on the hard disk using the edit functions such as Paste and Erase, when you put the recorder into SETUP mode, or when you set the parameters in the SETUP menu.

Pressing this key while holding down the [SHIFT] key allows you to select the Slave mode on/off.

*Refer to page “66” for more information about using this key for the Paste or Erase operation.
