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.

at the bottom of the screen.

buttons

to select

and press

CHNG.

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.

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.
