The DRIVE LEVEL metering shows the recording level of the
“virtual tape machine”. The display range is -10dB to +21dB.
The DRIVELEVEL ist adjusted with the DIRVE control (see 3).
The OUTPUTPPM meters show the peak level after the OUTPUT
GAINcontrol (see 5).
The first LED in each INPUTand OUTPUT PPM meter is a signal
(SIG.) LEDto indicate that a valid digital source is connected and
detected. This LED helps you to verify the signal flow within a
digital processing chain. If one SIG. LED is not illuminating you
have a first indication of a faulty digital signal flow.
The last LED of each INPUTand OUTPUT PPM meter is a CLIP
LED. The LED illuminates if the digital signal is too hot causing
digital distortion.
The MACHINEHEAD allows you to store up to 99 presets, which
can be changed by MIDI program change command.
If you want to store a new adjustment, depress STOREfor one
second. The LED starts to flash indicating that the STORE mode
has been activated. The LC-display now shows the values of the
presets (including the BOOSTfunction) before the MACHINE HEAD
was switched off the last time. Use UPand DOWN to select a
new preset number. The status-LED flashes shortly to indicate
that the input (depressing UPor DOWN) is accepted. Keeping UP
or DOWN depressed will let you jump through the preset list in
steps of 5 presets. Once a new preset location is found depress
STOREagain. The STORE LED goes out. The preset is stored at the
new location.
In case you want to quit the STOREmode without storing the
new adjustments simply press APPLY.
If you want to apply various presets depress APPLYfor one
second. The APPLYLED starts to flash indicating that the APPLY
mode is activated. You can step through the preset list with UP
and DOWN. Once you have a preset that you want to apply
depress APPLYagain. The APPLYLED goes out indicating that the
preset is applied.
In case you want to quit the APPLYmode without applying the
new preset simply press STORE.
NOTE: To increase operation safety it is impossible to apply
presets by simply depressing UPor DOWN. The UPand DOWN
status-LEDs will not flash indicating that the input is not
accepted. You have to depress STORE or APPLYfor one second in
order to activate the UPand DOWNbuttons.
