STORE button
This button is used to save locate points and
console automation snapshots to the currently
displayed number or a user-entered number.
SNAPSHOT button
• Allows the number buttons to be used for
entering snapshot numbers.
• When in this mode, the left two digits in the
Range display indicate snapshot numbers.
• Onboard snapshot range is from 00–99,
equivalent to MIDI program changes 00–99.
• More snapshots are available from the on-
screen interface.
Transport Controls
• These buttons control external devices that
respond to MIDI Machine Control (MMC).
MMC is transmitted from the MIDI output
port on the rear panel of the remote CPU to
MMC-compatible devices.
• Transport controls can be programmed to ex-
port specific MIDI messages other than
standard MMC protocol. See MIDI Mapping
on page 85 for more details.
Note: MMC is not bidirectional. The D8B sends
out MMC commands to your tape recorder(s),
but if you arm tracks or operate transport con-
trols from the tape recorders, the activity is
not transmitted back to the D8B via MMC.
You can, however, press Play on your recorder
and, as soon as time code is received by the
D8B, it reverts to PLAY mode.
REWIND button
Engages external machine to fast rewind with no
given locate point.
FAST FWD button
Engages external machine to fast forward with no
given locate point.
STOP button
Stops external machines at the current position.
Note: The STOP button lights when time code is not
being received by the D8B.
PLAY button
Engages external machine to play at normal
speeds from the current location.

RECORD button
• Engages Master record function on external
machines and Write Ready engaged automa-
tion channels.
• Must be pressed with PLAY to engage record
mode unless One Button Punch mode is active.
• One Button Punch allows punching into record
without hitting PLAY (see “Mix Options” on
page 66).
• Pressing any transport button takes the D8B
and peripherals out of record status.
JOG & SHUTTLE button
Engages the rotary dial (below the REWIND,
FAST FWD, STOP, and PLAY buttons) to advance
external machines forward or backward with single-
frame accuracy when using MMC.
When Jog & Shuttle is enabled, the REWIND and
FAST FWD transport buttons send out MMC shuttle
commands, usually corresponding to fixed speed
increments (i.e., 1/4x, 1/2x, 2x, etc.).
Rotary Dial Encoder
This multifunction dial enables the scrub function.
