For example, if the MIDI timecode master
starts the timecode playback at
00:57:00:00, and the actual piece starts at
01:00:00:00, you might want to enter an
offset of 3 minutes, so that when the piece
starts, the ABS time on the 788 display
shows
01:00:00:00
(see “The
time display” on page 26).
For example, if the MIDI timecode master
starts the timecode playback at
00:57:00:00, and the actual piece starts at
01:00:00:00, you might want to enter an

starts, the ABS time on the 788 display
shows
00:00:00:00
(see “The
time display” on page 26).
