MDR 24/96

Basic Transport Operations

The MDR24/96 transport and recording controls are similar to those on most multitrack tape recorders.

Play

Play puts the MDR24/96 into play from any state (as if you didn’t know). Play also punches out of record and cancels master record standby while leaving the Transport in play.

To put the Transport into play:

♦ Press Play.

Fast Wind

Rewind and Fast Forward put the MDR24/96 into fast wind mode from any state. They behave just like those on a large multitrack recorder – when pressed from stop, the “tape” rolls slowly at first, then accelerates to 20X speed in a few seconds. Pressing either button a second or third time increases the winding speed still further.

To put the Transport into fast wind:

♦Press Rewind or Fast Forward one, two, or three times.

Stop

Stop brings the “tape” to an immediate halt. Stop also punches out of record and cancels master record standby.

To stop the Transport:

♦Press Stop.
