Control mode provides access to general global parameters and miscellaneous
functions including certain aspects of the audio configuration. Selecting Control
mode does not interrupt the audio operation of the 300L.
There are nine Control mode pages:
Analog and Digital audio selection
Emphasis and SCMS
Copy Protect (on, off), Bypass/Mute, Program Load, Memory Purge
Offline Copy Tools
MIDI Automation, Dumps, and Channel
MIDI Maps
Time Code Snap and View
Time Code Event List and Edit /Add / Delete
Input/Output Gain
Each of these pages is described below.
Page One allows you to view the status of the box (STA), to define clock speed
(CLK), Digital Input connector (DIN), Input type (INP), Output type (OUT) and
Digital Output Format (OFMT).
STA CLK DIN INP OUT OFMT
STA (System Status)
The STAtus slider allows you to view the operational status of the system.
Advancing the slider scrolls through the status of: Input type, current clock
speed, digital output format, SCMS output status, audio mute status, copy
enable or disable, digital input connector, output type, I/O emphasis, digital
emphasis, bypass mode, load mode, automation, MIDI channel assignments for
Machines A and B, Map mode, Timecode mode, Current Setup, Current effect
for Machine A and B.
CLK (Changing the Analog Clock Rate)
This slider allows selection of the analog sampling rate. Press the button under
the slider to show the current rate. Use the slider to select a new clock sample
rate. If Digital clock has been selected to master the 300L this display will show
the current sample rate. If valid clock is not present, the message “!BAD DIGITAL
WORD CLOCK!” will be displayed.
Note: Be extremely careful when creating patches while a MIDI device is
connected. If you accidentally send a MIDI Program Change before
saving the patches in a register, the patches will be lost. To avoid this
possibility, you may want to set the MIDI Master Channel (in Control
Mode) to OFF, or unplug the MIDI cable from the 300L rear-panel MIDI IN
connector.
