Operation
Transport Keys
The Transport keys send both MMC and MIDI Controller
commands.
The Transport Keys and MIDI Controller Commands
As stated earlier, the MIDI Controller commands are the same
commands as those sent by the JLCooper CS-10
2
Control
Station. These commands are recognized by many software
based digital audio workstations.
Look in the documentation of the system that you are
controlling. If CS-10 or CS-10
2
support is mentioned, then the
MCS
2
will also behave in the same manner.
The Transport Keys and MMC Commands
The Transport keys control send the following MMC
commands: Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop, Play, and Record.
Record only operates if tracks have been enabled (“armed”)
first. See Track Enabling below.
To Record, first arm tracks, and then press and release Play.
Allow the machine to come up to speed if necessary.
Then press Play again and hold it down. While holding down
Play, press Record. Then release both keys.
When both Shift and Option are held down, the five Transport
keys can send 5 different locate commands, called GP0 - GP4.
These locate commands only operate with machines designed
to respond to pre-stored general purpose locates.
