In and Out timecode registers on tracks that have been armed/selected as described above (see Track Record Arm/Select). Upon pressing Slip, the – and + keys will highlight and the Wheel will be in Trim mode. Use the Wheel or keys to enter a trim value to indicate how far the selected region will be slipped. To end the operation and complete the Slip, press either the Trim key or the Slip key. Note that slipping material within a track will automatically overwrite any previous material on the selected track(s) at the new location.

To slip an entire track, use the goto Head/Tail commands (Hold CLR while pressing the Head or Tail key) to set the current time and then store the value in the appropriate register (press STO then the In or Out key on the Calculator) before executing the Slip command. To slip a single edit in an EDL, use the PREV and NEXT keys in a similar fashion to locate the beginning and end of the Edit on the desired track and store the time value for the beginning and end of the edit region in the In and Out registers before executing the Slip command.

Prev/Next

Hold CLR while pressing the PREV and NEXT keys to set the current time to the beginning or end of an edited region on the desired track. You may then play from that point, or store the value in the desired timecode register (press STO then the appropriate key on the Calculator).

Undo/Redo

Hold CLR while pressing the Undo or Redo key to undo or redo the previous edit operation. The MMR-8 supports ten levels of Undo and Redo. The MMR display will indicate which level of Undo or Redo is affected by the operation, up to the maximum or ten.

Clear/Paste

Hold CLR while pressing the Clear or Paste keys to perform these edit operations on the selected material. Clear will remove audio from the selected tracks between the In and Out times, replacing it with silence and will place the material into the MMR clipboard memory. Paste will place the material from the Clipboard memory at the time set in the In timecode register on the selected track.
