MACKIE HDR24/96 - Manual (Page 16)

HDR 24/96
If the Preview is canceled, or a stored value other than a Cue is recalled, then the Cue display
reverts to the previously displayed Cue.
When you begin to Recall a Cue, the Remote 48 Cue display (to the left of the LOCATE
TIME display) is cleared ( - - - ). As soon as a valid Cue number as been entered the
corresponding time is previewed in the LOCATE TIME display. For this reason it is possible
preview a single digit Cue with only a single digit key press. Continually pressing digits will
rotate the digits in on the far right of the Cue number display and out on the left. Any
combination of three digits that represent a valid Cue number will update the LOCATE
TIME display. Note that the methodology for Creating, Viewing, and Storing Cue values on
the Remote 48 differs considerably from that of the GUI and keyboard.
Cues (page 62) are
an integral part of the Autolocator (page 54), and Remote 48 Cue operations are found on
page 66. Discussions of Cues in the GUI can be found on pages 63 and 32.
Vari (Varispeed)
The Varispeed display is used to display the Transport speed whenever Shuttle or Jog is
enabled. During Shuttle, the Varispeed display reads 0.0, 0.03, 0.06, 0.12, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, or
2.0, depending on the Shuttle speed. During Jog, the display reads continuously between
0.00 and 1.00. Negative speeds are not expressed because the FF or REW LEDs indicate the
Transport direction.
Autolocator Displays and Controls
The other big addition to the Remote 48, as distinguished from the front panel controls, is the
inclusion of an Autolocator section. The rack mount unit's front panel does have some locating
features. It gives you access to two Dedicated (numbered) Locates, for example, as well as the
looping features associated with those Locate points. The Remote 48 has those same buttons and
features. Then the Remote 48 adds all of the rest of an industry standard Autolocator. In fact the
Remote 48 borrows from well-established Autolocator philosophy, then adds even cooler stuff to
that model. The Autolocator is discussed in detail later in this manual under
Autolocator (page
54).
Transport and LOCATE
The Transport within the Remote 48 Autolocator is of course very much the same as that
found on the front panel (or the GUI for that matter), however, it does add one important key
– LOCATE. The Locate Time and even the LOCATE button have been discussed just a few
pages earlier, and you will find its use discussed in conjunction with many other operations
throughout the manual. The LOCATE button acts as an instant “go to” command for the
value appearing in the LOCATE TIME display. Essentially this button takes you where you
wanna go. Check out the
Transport Operation (page 50) for more information on the
Transport and Locate Points (page 54).
PRE ROLL
Pre-roll comes from the idea of rolling a tape back to a little bit before the point where you
want to Play or Punch. When Pre-roll is turned on, then all Locate commands go to the time
address minus the Pre-roll. The Pre-roll Time is the amount of time to “cushion”’ a locate
point, and can be set like any storable value in the Autolocator.
AUTOPLAY
Auto Play is an Autolocator Play mode that causes the HDR to go directly into Play any time
a Locate command is given. Push the button to toggle the mode on and off. When engaged
any locate operation will immediately be followed by Play.
