(*1) Program:
You can set up a maximum of 99 Programs, limited by the available space on your hard disk. You can select any Program to perform recording, playback, and edit (Program Select function). You may also name the Programs to facilitate managing individual songs (Program Title Edit function). You can delete unnecessary Programs (Program Delete function). For more information, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
(*2) Time Base:
This document and the Owner’s Manual use the word “Time Base” frequently. This refers to the units to indicate the current transport position of the recorder, in other words, Absolute Time.
The VR800 also uses MTC (MIDI time code) and BAR/BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock). An MTC value is a relative time value calculated by adding an MTC offset value to the ABS time value. BAR/BEAT/CLK indicates a position within a song of VR800’s tempo map based on the MIDI clock position pointer. You can switch to any of these units as follows. For more information on the Time Base, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
• When ABS Time Base appears on the display, hold down the TIME BASE SEL key repeatedly to switch among these units.
