LOOP
The LOOP button is a simple on/off switch with an LED indicator. When LOOP is on, a part
or song will loop back to its beginning when it has reached its end and continue playing
indefinitely. If LOOP is off, a part or song will stop when it reaches its end.
MIDI ECHO
The MIDI ECHO button is an on/off switch with an LED indicator. When MIDI ECHO is on,
whatever information is present at the MIDI INPUT jack will be sent to the MIDI OUTPUT
jack. When not in RECORD or RECORD READY (RECORD LED lit), the MIDI data is
transmitted out unchanged.
When in RECORD or RECORD READY, and the track selected has been assigned to a
specific MIDI channel (see MIDI CHANNEL below), then all MIDI information received will be
transmitted out on the selected MIDI channel. This feature allows the user to hear a part
playing on the desired synthesizer while it is being recorded. System exclusive
information and polyphonic pressure are not echoed, and MID! clocking information will be
echoed only if MIDI clock is being used for clocking the MMT-8.
NAME
The NAME button is used to change the name of a part or song. The name of a part or
song is 14 characters long. An empty part or song will always have the name "EMPTY
PART" or "EMPTY SONG", and cannot be changed. When a part or song is first used, its
name is changed from "EMPTY PART" or "EMPTY SONG" to "NO PART NAME" or "NO
SONG NAME." To change the name of a part or song, press and hold the NAME button.
The display will read:
SELECT
PART
00
NO PART NAME"
The cursor is now under the first character of the part or song name. Using the + and -
buttons, any alphanumeric character can be selected, and the keypad can be used to
enter numbers directly. The page up and page down buttons are used to move the
cursor left and right on the display. When the desired name has been entered, pressing
RECORD stores the name for that part or song. If RECORD is not pressed before
releasing the NAME button, any changes to the name will not be saved.
MERGE
The MERGE mode is provided so that two tracks can be merged together (overlapped)
onto one track. In part mode, when MERGE is held down, the display reads:
