Main Function Menus The three main function menus offer access to the whole functionality of your MC-3+ Smart Clock. The »MODE« menu allows to select for the general operation mode of the MC-3+. It has to be selected first. The factory de- fault is set to »INTERNAL«. - Page 13 Operation 1) Which operation mode is basically needed? → »MODE« Should my MC-3+ work as clock generator (»INTERNAL«), as clock distributor (»EXTERNAL«) or as audio INTERNAL signal re-clocker (»RE-CLOCK«)?

- Page 14 »RE-CLOCK« & »EXTERNAL« This is a very special function only available in your MC-3+ Smart Clock! After selection of the first re-clocking mode press the »SELECT« key one time again and the »EXTERNAL« and »RE-CLOCK« LEDs light and show that re-clocking based on an exter- nally applied clock reference is active.

Operation »HOLD« This red LED lights when the external reference clock signal is interrupted or lost. The frequency synthesizer of the MC-3+ kee- ps generating all output signals continuously, based on the last incoming clock rate. Thus, your studio set-up receives non-in- terrupted clock supply, regardless if a valid external referecne signal is present, unstable or lost. -
