MIDI Machine Control

Using MIDI Machine Control (MMC) commands, an MMC-compatible recorder can be controlled from the 01V. [ON] buttons 1 through 6 can be used to control transport functions, while [SEL] buttons 1 through 6 can be used to locate six definable locate points. MMC commands are transmitted via MIDI.

1. Use the [REMOTE] button to locate REMOTE page 2, as shown below.

While this page is displayed, controls other than [ON] buttons 1 through 6 and [SEL] buttons 1 through 6 are disabled.

2.Use the cursor buttons to select the DEVICE No. parameter, and the PARAMETER wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to select a device number.

The device number, which can be set from 1 through 127 or ALL, should be set to match that of the recorder you want to control. When set to ALL, all MMC-compatible recorders connected can be controlled together.

3.Use [ON] buttons 1 through 6 to transmit the following transport com- mands to a recorder.
