Transports

The Transports consist of Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop, Play, and Record. The i.d. number that they transmit can be made to be dependent upon the state of the M buttons. Refer to the previous page.

The LEDs behave “exclusively”, that is, pressing Play turns on the Play LED while turning off the Stop LED.

Record cannot be engaged unless Play is pressed and held down first.

Jog Wheel and Shuttle Ring

Jog and Shuttle transmit MIDI Machine Control and MIDI Controllers (CS-10 protocol), depending on the state of the M buttons. When the optional 9 pin card is installed, Jog and Shuttle can also send 9 Pin commands, for controlling professional VTRs.

The Shuttle Ring features a center detent, and direction LEDs.

The Speed of the Jog Wheel and the Shuttle Ring can be user- adjusted in the Utility Mode.

To enter Utility Mode, press Shift Assign. Turn the right-most encoder, and go to the page where you see "Jog" and 'Shuttle".

The Jog Speed range is 1 through 100.

Shuttle Speed range is 1X through 32X.

That is, when the Shuttle Ring is rotated as far as its goes, the machine will play up to 32 time Play Speed.

Any Transport or Function button can be made into a master "On / Off" control for the Jog / Shuttle mechanism.
