Basic Transport Operations
The MDR24/96 transport and recording controls are similar to those on most
multitrack tape recorders.
Play
Play puts the MDR24/96 into play from any state (as if you didn’t know).
Play also punches out of record and cancels master record standby while
leaving the Transport in play.
To put the Transport into play:
♦ Press Play.
Fast Wind
Rewind and Fast Forward put the MDR24/96 into fast wind mode from any
state. They behave just like those on a large multitrack recorder – when
pressed from stop, the “tape” rolls slowly at first, then accelerates to 20X
speed in a few seconds. Pressing either button a second or third time
increases the winding speed still further.
To put the Transport into fast wind:
♦ Press Rewind or Fast Forward one, two, or three times.
Stop
Stop brings the “tape” to an immediate halt. Stop also punches out of record
and cancels master record standby.
To stop the Transport:
♦ Press Stop.
