Record Command Type

Use this option to make the record commands from the DM-3200’s MIDI Machine Control compatible with the unit being controlled.

There are two options: True (40h) and Masked (41h). Consult the documentation of your other equipment for details of compatibility.

Locate Preroll

Move the cursor to the numeric field, which shows the pre-roll time when a location point is reached (displayed in minutes and seconds). For example, if this field shows 0:10, if a location operation is carried out to a location memory of 00:20:32, the actual point located to is 00:20:22.

Note that this is used only in the case of Direct loca- tion (“Location to a location memory” on page 99),

and not in the case of manual location operations (“Manual location” on page 100), which locates to the value entered, irrespective of the pre-roll time set here.

Use the dial to set the pre-roll value and confirm the setting of this value with the ENTER key.
