JOG Pressing JOG stops the transport and allows the Wheel to “scrub” over the current
location at a speed relative to the motion of the wheel. The minimum Jog speed is
Play/8 (3 octaves down), and maximum is 1.5 times nominal speed. Jog is typically
used to play audio at slow speed to locate to a particular spot in pre-recorded
material in order to identify an edit or punch point. Sound is produced in the Jog
mode only as long as the wheel moves.
Pressing the JOG key again or pressing the STOP key halts the Jog action and takes
the system out of the Jog mode. Although Jog has no shifted function, the alternate
function of this key is the left-arrow, which is active in several different modes,
and which typically scrolls the window to view parts of the display that may extend
beyond the window. This key also moves the cursor left for selection of a digit
within a time code that may need trimming, or for selecting a character value to
alter in a Setup menu.
SHTL (SHUTTLE) Pressing the Shuttle key stops the transport and allows the Wheel to initiate
sustained audio playback from the current location at continuously variable speeds.
Shuttle is typically used to assist in locating a particular spot in pre-recorded
material, and is useful for “fast-forwarding” through material while listening. The
minimum Shuttle speed is a very slow crawl (Play/1000) and maximum is 1.5
times nominal speed. The Shuttle speed is governed by the distance traveled by the
Wheel, with ½ turn equal to half speed, a full turn for nominal speed, and 1 ½ turns
for 1.5 times nominal speed. Pressing the Shuttle key again or pressing the Stop
key halts the Shuttle action.
Although there is no shifted function of the Shuttle key, the alternate function of
this key is the right-arrow, which is active in several different modes, and which
typically scrolls the window to view parts of the display that may extend beyond
the window. This key also moves the cursor to the right for selection of a digit
within a time code that may need trimming, or for selecting a character value to
alter in a Setup menu. The lit transport lamps indicate the current relative speed
range for Jog and Shuttle according to the following conventions:
o Indicates the transport is stopped
o + > Indicates the transport is playing forward slower than nominal speed
> Indicates the transport is playing forward at nominal speed
> + >> Indicates the transport is playing forward faster than nominal speed
o + < Indicates the system is in reverse play at slower than nominal speed
< Indicates the system is in reverse play at nominal speed
o + << Indicates the system is in reverse play at faster than nominal speed
Wheel
The wheel is its own group, and has several different functions during MMP-16 operation. In the Normal
state, it controls jog and shuttle of the system transport in conjunction with the JOG and SHTL keys. In
conjunction with the TRIM key it can be used to manually trim time code registers. In the Setup state, the
Wheel normally scrolls through the menu items, but when TRIM is active, it scrolls through the parameter
values. In the Track states, it scrolls through the Project or track names for loading and viewing. There is
no shifted function for the Wheel.
