The System Section

This chapter discusses the Utility Mode, the
Time Code Display, and Program Change Mode.

Utility Mode is used to control certain basic operating
conditions, including such things as Memory Protect, Bank
Names, and Memory Bulk Dump, etc.

The Time Code Display features a Drop Frame indicator.
Time can be displayed in either SMPTE Time in
hours : minutes : seconds: frames, or simply in
hours : minutes : seconds.

Alternately, the display can be set to Feet : Frames, with an
Offset.

Program Change Mode allows the Keypad to be used to send
MIDI Program and Bank Change commands.

Entering Utility Mode

Enter Utility Mode by pressing Shift and Assign.
Utility has three pages, selected with the right-most encoder.

Exiting Utility Mode

Exit Utility Mode by pressing Assign.

OMS or Free MIDI Definitions

If your computer system requires OMS or FreeMIDI, it will also
require that you edit your studio setup to include the MCS.

The MCS-3400 and MCS-3800 are defined in the same way:
MIDI Controllers that transmit on all MIDI Channels. They send
MIDI Machine Control and can also receive MIDI Time Code.

Typical devices descriptions are shown here.
