Keyboard Operation (With Optional Mm-Rc); The Mm-Rc Keyboard Connector - Tascam MMP-16 Owner's Manual

Keyboard Operation (with optional MM-RC)

The optional MM-RC (Remote Control unit) has a keyboard connector located on the rear panel which
accepts a standard PC-AT style keyboard. The purpose of the keyboard is to facilitate selecting menu
items while in the Setup Mode and to make it easier to name Projects and Tracks. There is no way to
connect a keyboard directly to the MMR or MMP – this must be done using the MM-RC.
Note: The internal software of the MM-RC will be automatically updated as necessary when an MMR-8
or MMP-16 is booted while attached to the MM-RC. Be sure the power switch of the MM-RC is on while
the MMR/MMP unit is started so the unit can sense the presence of the remote.

The MM-RC Keyboard Connector

The MM-RC keyboard connector provides a means to attach a standard PC-AT style keyboard. Here are
the pin out signals for this connector as seen facing the back of the MM-RC:
Pin 3: X Pin 1: PC KBD CLK
Pin 4: PC KBD GND
Pin 5: PC KBD 5V
Pin 2: PC KBD DATA
You may attach the PC Keyboard to the MM-RC before or after switching on the MM-RC power.
