Teac MMR-16 v4.0 - Manual (Page 58)

TASCAM MMP-16 Owner’s Manual • Chapter 3 • Keys and Status Displays MMP-16 60
When LOAD TRACK is first pressed, the LCD will show a list of all WaveFrame
Projects, Pro Tools Sessions, or OMF Compositions on all mounted volumes. The
wheel or arrow keys are used to scroll through the various choices (if multiple
choices are available) and to display the name of each of the available files. To
view the next lower level of the EDL hierarchy (Episode, Reel, Act, Dub or Track),
for the currently displayed Project, Session, or Composition, press LOAD TRACK
again. Repeat this procedure to reach the lowest level available for the particular
EDL file type. Pro Tools Session files and OMF Compositions will exhibit only
two levels – the main EDL (Session or Composition) and Track.
Once the desired Project or track is located and displayed, press the Store (STO)
key to load the Project (up to sixteen tracks) or individual track into the MMP
Track index locations. The target Track index is designated by activating the SEL
key associated with the Track index (the LED above the SEL will be lit when the
Track index is chosen as a target). If a track listed in the display has already been
loaded into a track index, the display message will read “Move” rather than
“Load”. This allows you to move an already loaded track into a different track
index. Which operation is performed depends upon whether the source track file is
already loaded; if it is, then a track move is performed. If the source track file is not
already loaded, a track load is performed and the track file is loaded or “stored”
into the target track. If track information is stored into a track location that is
already occupied by a previously loaded track, the previously loaded track is
automatically “unloaded.” In Load Track mode, the bottom line of the LCD shows
the names of “unloaded” tracks preceded by a small box (the STOP character) in
the first character of the display. Loaded tracks are preceded by their track number
(indicating the track into which the sound file has been loaded).
The last target track (which defaults to Track 1 at the start of a session) is
remembered for the duration of the session. A store operation (either load or move)
automatically advances the target track by one, circularly advancing back to track
one after track sixteen. The target track may be selected manually by pressing the
appropriate SEL key before STO is pressed. The Load Track key is also used to
identify Projects or Tracks for Backup. Choose (scroll to) the name of the desired
Project or Track, then press SHIFT + SLIP to enter the Backup state.
SHIFT + LOAD
TRACK
(DELETE)
Pressing SHIFT + LOAD TRACK deletes the currently displayed project or track
file. The deletion simply removes the EDL information, not the associated sound
file(s), so little disk drive space is reclaimed by this operation. However, sound
files not associated with the EDL (track) information are made available for
deletion by the Disk Cleanup operation accessed via Setup menu 720. This is the
typical method by which space on a given drive volume is reclaimed (the other
method is by using Destructive Record on a TASCAM MMR-8 Recorder to record
over existing material).
TRACK Pressing this key places the MMP into the View Track state to allow inspection of
the currently loaded tracks. The Wheel, the Select keys, or the Up/Down arrow
keys may be used to select and view a track index. If nothing is loaded in a
selected Track index, the word “*Blank*” is displayed for that track. Pressing this
key again while viewing tracks or pressing the CLR key exits the View Track state
and returns the MMP-16 to the Normal state.
