Teac MMR-8 v3.0 - Manual (Page 22)

TASCAM MMR-8/MMP-16 Version 3.0 Owners Manual Update 22
Lock Tally Out
A system lock tally is now provided on pin #28 of the Parallel Transport port. This active low lock
tally signal is provided when the system transport achieves lock status as indicated by the >L
indication in the LCD window and illumination of the LOCK LED.
Record Punch to Local Only
Record punch in and out commands will only be honored on the machine to which they are
directed, and will not cause other machines which may be connected via the MMR Bus to respond
to these commands. This means punching via the parallel port on the MMR Bus Master machine,
will only affect that machine and will not propagate via the MMR Bus to any Slave machines.
Bug Fixes:
The following software bugs have been fixed in Version 3.0.
Slip In/Out in Feet/Frame
The Edit commands and Slip In/Out function (accessed on the front panel by pressing SHIFT +
MON) now work properly when the display style is feet and frames and a local zero offset
(equating 0 feet and frames with a time code offset amount) is stored in the time register.
Store Slip In/Out amount
Storing a numeric value to the Slip In/Out key on the MM-RC remote will cause the selected audio
material (any audio on the selected tracks between the In and Out register time code positions) to
be slipped by that amount. The Slip In/Out function is accessed on the front panel of the
MMR/MMP by pressing SHIFT + MON, but storing a number on the front panel did not work
properly in previous versions of the software. In Version 3.0, this function now works properly on
the front panel of the MMR/MMP by pressing STO + SHIFT + MON to enter a time value for the
Slip In/Out operation.
All Safe for MMR Bus Slave
A bug in previous software versions allowed the MMR-8 to ignore its All Safe setting (Setup
Menu 201) when receiving a Record command from an MMR Bus master. This has been fixed in
Version 3.0, and the All Safe setting is always honored.
Fix “Busy” Exit
In Version 3.0 of the MMR/MMP software, the system keeps track of incoming biphase signals
even while the system is “busy”. This most typically occurs if a track is slipped while the unit is
ONLINE in biphase chase mode. This fix insures that if any sync changes (track slip) are made
while incoming time code or biphase signals are present, the system will return to the proper sync
point when it emerges from the “busy” state.
