9-6

which typically begins recording a few frames
after the command is received from the editor (the
DA-98 begins recording immediately). Many edi-
tors allow for this delay, and so the DA-98 can
compensate for this.

1) From menu group 6, move the cursor to

Rec

Dly

( recording delay), and press

SELECT

:

2) Use the

UP

and

DOWN

keys to select a value

from between

0

and

9

frames, or

Auto

. The

value of the

Auto

setting depends on the

emulation selected (see 9.4.5, “Device
emulation”
) as shown below:

9.4.7 Fast wind speed

When a controller locates on a slave device,

there are two ways in which this is achieved: a
“locate” command, and a series of fast wind and
shuttle commands.

To determine which command is used by your
controller, and for further details regarding this
function, follow the instructions in section 11.1.5
of the DA-98 manual.

The high (100 x) wind speed of the DA-98 means
that if the second method is used, the tape will
almost invariably overshoot each time and lever
locate correctly. Accordingly, a slower (8 x) wind
speed is provided which allows for location using
the “wind and shuttle” mode.

1) From menu group 6, move the cursor to

Fast

Spd

(fast speed) and press

SELECT

:

2) Use the

UP

and

DOWN

keys to select between

x 100

and

x 8

speeds.

9.4.8 Cue-up tally

When locating in 9-pin command mode, the

DA-98 will locate to the required position and
then enter pause mode.

What is then returned to the controller can be
either a Stop message, for use with controllers
who will only issue their next command when a
Stop signal is received, or a Still message for use
with controllers which make a distinction between
pause and Stop (e.g. LYNX II and Microlynx syn-
chronizers).

See section 11.1.5 of the DA-98 manual for fur-
ther details regarding this function.

1) From menu group 6, move the cursor to

Cueup Tly

(cueup tally), and press

SELECT

:

2) Use the

UP

and

DOWN

keys to select between

Stop

and

Still

, as explained above.

9.4.9 MMC ID

You can set a MMC ID (which also serves as

the bus ID) for each DA-98 unit. This is not a
MIDI channel number. The value may be between

001

and

127

or may be a universal

Receive All

setting.

See section 11.2.1 of the DA-98 manual for fur-
ther details regarding this function.
