Issue 4
To Auto Cycle
This uses the last timecodes that were the play and stop points. The Auto Cycle From and To
points are updated every time the PLAY and STOP keys are pressed, so the play point can be
updated at any time while the transport is already in Play by pressing the PLAY key.
While the CYCLE key is flashing, press the CYCLE key again or the PLAY key.
The CYCLE key will illuminate steady and the transport will now cycle between the two points.
The other transport keys will indicate the transport status (i.e. rewind, play, stop, etc.).
This will continue until a different transport command is issued.
If the Stop point is in front of the Play point then the Stop point will be used as the Cycle From
and the Play point will be used as the Cycle To (if, for instance, the transport is re-wound and
stopped ahead of the Play point).
To use Cycle Labels
The Labels used for the cycle points can be selected from the MCS Labels dialogue box or by
entering Label numbers on the fixed keyboard.
To select Labels from MCS Labels dialogue box
Highlight the required pair of Labels.
Click the Cycle button, press the CYCLE key, press the PLAY key or press the Enter key on
the fixed keyboard.
The CYCLE key will illuminate steady and the transport will now cycle between the two points.
The other transport keys will indicate the transport status (i.e. rewind, play, stop, etc.).
This will continue until a different transport command is issued.
To select Label numbers with the fixed keyboard
Type the number of the Label with the required Cycle From timecode.
Press the TO key.
Type the number of the Label with the required Cycle To timecode (this should be after the
Cycle From timecode).
Press the Enter key on the fixed keyboard, press the CYCLE key or press the PLAY key.
The CYCLE key will illuminate steady and the transport will now cycle between the two points.
The other transport keys will indicate the transport status (i.e. rewind, play, stop, etc.).
This will continue until a different transport command is issued.
Pre Roll
The Pre Roll Time set in MCS Preferences can be used with Locate and Cycle. Pre Roll places
the transport an extra amount in front of the Locate To or Cycle From time to allow the automation
system to resolve timecode correctly before reaching the Locate To or Cycle From time.
Pre Roll can also be useful when Safety Nets are enabled. If the Safety Net times are matched to
the Cycle times (e.g. using the same Labels), then Pre Roll will allow some audio to be heard
immediately before the Safety Net start time so that the changeover can be heard in context.
To use the Pre Roll Time
Click the Use Pre Roll Time check box so that an X is shown.
This is the same as checking the Pre Roll Enable check box in the MCS Presets page.
