Transferring Memories between MM 42s
Connect the MIDI OUT/THRU of the transmitting MM
42 to the MIDI IN of the receiving MM 42.
Be sure the MIDI Rx and Tx of both units is not set to off.
On the receiving MM 42:
1. Set the receiving device to RECEIVE mode on the MIDI
TRANSFER page.
2. Select the MEMORY (1 through 16 or ALL) location in
which to store the incoming data.
3. Select the RECEIVE action (flashing) and press ENTER. The
following screen appears:
AWAITING MIDI DATA
PRESS CANCEL TO ABORT
On the transmitting MM 42:
1. Select SEND mode on the MIDI TRANSFER page.
2. Select the MEMORY (1 through 16 or ALL) location to send
to the receiving MM 42.
3. Select the SEND action (flashing) and press ENTER. The
sending MM 42 says SENDING MIDI DATA .
4. When incoming MIDI is detected the receiving MM 42 says
RECEIVING MIDI DATA .
5. When the transfer is complete both units display:
MIDI TRANSFER COMPLETE
PRESS CANCEL TO CONTINUE
If the following horrifying display appears on either unit
during the transfer there has been an error. Don't get mad, just
check all connections and settings and try again:
MIDI TRANSFER FAILED
PRESS CANCEL TO CONTINUE
Mode
When LATCH mode is selected, pressing the CUE BUS but-
ton once routes the MM 42’s signal to the Cue Bus and the front
panel PHONES jacks. Pressing the CUE BUS button again
removes the signal from the Cue Bus. It is possible (but poten-
tially confusing) to have multiple MM 42s active on the Cue Bus
at the same time. To avoid audio mayhem, always remember to
deactivate one MM 42 (by pressing its CUE BUS button) before
cueing another.
When MOMENTARY mode is selected the MM 42’s signal
is routed to the Cue Bus and front panel PHONES jacks only as
long as the CUE BUS button is pressed and held. Use this mode
once the mixes are fully dialed in and you just need to do the
occasional spot check.

tion meter follows the selected METER MODE in the UTILITY
