Front Panel Key Groups
The MMP-16 front panel keys and controls are divided into five functional groups, the Transport Group,
the Setup & Wheel Group, the Wheel itself, the Track Group, and the Keypad Group.
Transport Group
These keys consist of the On Line, Rewind (<<), Reverse Play (<), Stop (o), Play (>), and Fast Forward
(>>), keys. These transport functions are analogous to those found on tape dubbers. The keys are located
on the bottom central portion of the front panel, and are larger and backlit to be seen clearly at a distance.
ONLINE This key selects whether the MMP-16 is controlled from an outside sync source or
external device (the key is lit), or isolated and working as a stand-alone device (the
key is unlit). When pressed in combination with the Stop key (ONLINE+STOP),
all currently mounted disk volumes are unmounted in preparation for removal from
the MMP-16.
The system will keep track of position on the Biphase input even while offline. To
set a new sync interlock point at the current position relative to the Biphase source,
simple press ONLINE. To put the unit back ONLINE at the previously established
sync point (the interlock location that existed prior to when the unit was taken
offline), press SHIFT + ONLINE.
<< (REWIND) The Rewind key causes the current time code position to roll in reverse at
approximately 18 times play speed. Rewind cancels any loop operation. There is no
shifted function for this key.
< (REVERSE
PLAY)
The Reverse Play key causes the MMP-16 to play audio backwards at play speed.
Except for the direction, other operating parameters such as speed and output level
will follow those of Play. If there is a loop function pending, Reverse Play enters
Loop play operation and causes the MMP to perform an alternating forward-
backward loop. There is no shifted function for this key.
o (STOP)
(MOUNT)
The Stop key halts the operation of the transport under all conditions and removes
any loop pending mode. It is usually lit in the stopped condition, and not lit under
other conditions (with the exception of Jog and Shuttle modes). Used in
combination with the On Line key, the Stop key causes all currently mounted disk
volumes to be unmounted. There is no shifted function for this key. The alternate
function of the Stop key is to MOUNT all available disk drive(s) after a dismount
operation has been performed.
> (PLAY) The Play key causes the MMP-16 to play audio in the forward direction at play
speed, advancing the time code counter. If there is a loop pending, Play enters the
playback loop operation and will play the loop according to the parameter settings
in menu 210 (Loop Mode). There is no shifted function for this key.
>> (FAST
FORWARD)
The Fast Forward key causes the current time code position to roll forward at
approximately 18 times play speed. Fast Forward cancels any loop pending
operation. There is no shifted function for this key.
