Local & Studio Monitoring
A front panel headphone jack allows the MMP-16 operator to locally monitor one or more tracks, right at
the front panel, without affecting the output signals. The rear panel mini-jack output on the PRX card is
designed for studio monitoring using a customer-supplied studio monitor amplifier and speaker. The
mini-jack level is not controlled by the front panel volume control, and the audio output of the mini-jack
always presents a mono sum mix of all tracks according to the track monitor selection chosen on the front
panel. Headphone and studio monitoring both follow the Input Monitor selection, so if a track is being
monitored and it is switched to Input Monitor, the audio change will be heard in the headphones and
studio.
Headphone Volume (LEVEL)
The headphone monitoring volume is set by the LEVEL control next to the headphone jack.
Headphone Jack (PHONES)
Even though the Headphone jack is a standard pro-size stereo headphone jack (phone-type), all track
monitoring is done in mono. Either low (8 ohms) or high impedance (600 ohms) headphones can be used.
HEADPHONE NOTE:
To prevent hearing damage, always turn the Headphone Level full off before putting on
the headphones and leave the Level at a low volume until at least one track has been
selected for monitoring.
The Lynx Bus
The Lynx bus allows control of the MMP via a TimeLine Lynx Keyboard Control Unit (KCU). Connect
the KCU to one of the Lynx bus connectors on the back of the MMP. It is not necessary to have a Lynx 2
module as part of the system, since the MMP behaves as a Lynx synchronizer itself when connected to a
KCU. Other Lynx modules may then be connected through the other Lynx bus connector and the entire
system (up to a limit of six devices) controlled from the KCU.
To setup the MMP to be controlled from a Lynx KCU, set menu 120 (Lynx Bus) to Slave/KCU and use
menu 121 (Lynx Address) to set a valid Lynx address (one not used by any other Lynx device controlled
form the KCU). Although normal transport and track arm functions may be controlled from a standard
KCU, there is a special version of the Lynx KCU software (version 900) which provides increased
support for special MMP functions.
The KCU 900 software provides the following features for controlling the MMP-16 and MMR-8:
•
Transport Control
•
Track Record Arm/Select (MMR-8 only)
•
Slip Track/Region
•
Undo/Redo
•
Goto Prev/Next Edit
•
Goto Head/Tail
•
Clear/Paste
Note that No support is provided by the KCU 900 software for the Lynx System Supervisor Unit (SSU)
