Chase Lock Deviation
Chase Lock Deviation displays the difference between
incoming timecode and the X-48MKII’s transport. It can be
useful if you think that the machine is drifting out of sync
or for troubleshooting. There is no setting to change, it’s
only a display of how far out of sync the machine is (ideally
0). To view this setting:

window.
2 Select the Sync tab. Look at the Lock Deviation display
at the bottom of the screen.

5
/
b
buttons
to select
Chase Lock Deviation
and press
CHNG.
2 Watch the lock deviation. When you’re finished,
press the Exit or Home button.
Timecode Output Muting
This setting is useful when the device receiving timecode
cannot accept off-speed timecode, such as some console
automation systems.
Play Only
Outputs timecode only when the transport is running at a
normal play speed.
Mute FF/Rew
Mutes the timecode output when in FF or REW.
Mute Jog/Shuttle
Mutes the timecode when the transport is running at a
non-play speed such as shuttle.
None
The timecode is never muted.
To change this setting:
Mouse/Keyboard Operation
1 Click the Windows menu and select the Settings
window.
2 Select the Timecode Output Muting submenu and
choose a setting.
Front Panel Operation
1 Press the SYNC button. Press the

Output Muting
and press CHNG.
2 Select a setting and press Enter.

Audio File Naming
The X-48MKII can auto-name new audio files either based
on the project name or the track name. This setting can
only be changed from the GUI. Since there are no track
names visible when using the LCD, it defaults to naming
audio files based on the project name.
To change this preference:
Mouse/Keyboard Operation (only)
1 Click the Windows menu and select the Settings item
and then the Prefs screen.
2 Select the Audio File Naming submenu and choose
your preferred naming convention.
