Teac MMR-16 v4.0 - Manual (Page 61)

OFFSET
(SHIFT+1)
This display-only register represents the time difference between the MMP-16’s
time code and the time code being chased. When locked to the Lynx bus, this
equals the time difference between the MMP-16’s time code and the Lynx master
time code. In either case, the offset is equal to the MMP-16 time minus the time
code being chased.
READER
(SHIFT+2)
This display-only register shows the current time code being chased by the MMP-
16. If time code chase mode is active, whatever time code is being read is
displayed here. If the MMP-16 is a slave on the Lynx bus, it holds the current time
coming from the Lynx bus master machine.
FREE (SHIFT+3) This display-only register shows the amount of recording time available on the
system default disk volume (the volume or drive available for recording). Note that
this value is always displayed in “time code” format, even if the display format
currently is feet/frames, because it is essentially an elapsed time value, not a time
code. This display will show the time in “Track minutes” for a single track. Note:
If more than 24 hours of single track recording is available, the display will show
only the time over 24 hours. This is not a software bug, but is a result of the fact
that free time is expressed in terms of time code values and there are only 24
hours possible for a time code style display. This happens most often with 9
gigabyte drives where the disk capacity at 16 bit 44.1kHz is more than 28 hours.
OUT POINT
(SHIFT+4)
This register holds the “Out Point” time. It is used as the end point of a play loop
and as the end time for a track marked for editing.
TAIL (SHIFT+5) This read-only register shows the end time of the last edit on the currently loaded
tracks. Tracks selected while in the EDIT track select mode govern the operation of
this function. If no tracks are selected in the EDIT track select mode, the MMP will
scan across all loaded tracks to find the last edit location. To select a single track or
a group of tracks for location of the last edit point location, press only the desired
track SEL keys while in the EDIT track select mode, then select SHIFT + 5. The
location of the last edit point on the selected tracks will be shown.
PREVIOUS
EDIT (SHIFT+6)
This register represents the location of the first splice point (or start of the sound
event) located just previous to the current location. Each time PREV EDIT is
selected the register value moves “back” one event in time in the edit list, showing
the start point of the earlier of event.
Pressing SHIFT+PREV EDIT not only finds and displays this point, but also
performs an automatic locate function, moving the transport to that point. This is in
contrast to RCL+SHIFT+PREV EDIT, which will simply find and display the
appropriate time point in the entry register without performing a locate function
(also see the Recall key).
IN POINT
(SHIFT+7)
This register holds the In Point time code. It is used as the start point of a play loop
as well as the beginning time for edit operations on any track selected for editing in
the Edit track select mode.
