Preparations For Remote Control (Mmc Settings); Playing Or Stopping Recorders - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Note about time code
Before implementing remote control of the multitrack recorder, you need to specify
the device that will provide the time standard (time code master). When the built-in
auto-mixing function is not used, this setting may not be compulsory. Depending on
recorders, however, remote control may not be available if the parameter is not set.
Normally, the multitrack recorder is selected as the master because of its mechanical
arrangement. Select MULTI 1-8, MULTI 9-19 and MULTI 17-24 from "SYNC MODE"
described on "Settings related to synchronization" (p. 224).

Preparations for remote control (MMC settings)

Before implementing remote control, you must specify the master device, the one
that will be transmitting the operational information.
This parameter is called "MMC" master selection, however, this parameter always
should be set to select the master of all other equipment when the remote control is
turned on. Whenever implementing remote control, set this parameter even if any
MIDI devices are not used.
Selecting the MMC master (See p. 224; "Settings related to synchronization")
When unidimensional control is provided from this system...
Select "ON" for MMC CONTROL and "INT" for MMC MASTER.
• Set up the external recorder so that it is ready to receive operational information
from this system.
When unidimensional control is provided from one of the external devices...
Select "ON" for MMC CONTROL.
Select MMC MASTER as described below.
Select the device connected to MIDI IN as the master
Select the recorder connected to R-BUS as the master
"9-16," or "17-24."
• Set up the selected master so that it transmits operational information.

Playing or stopping recorders

The multitrack recorders can be played or stopped from the Transport Area situated
in the lower right-hand corner of the panel (see p. 11 "Names of Things and What
They Do").
[ZERO]
[REW/PREV]
[FF/NEXT]
[STOP]
[PLAY]
[REC]
TIME/VALUE dial
An underlined column of a time display that appears in the upper right-hand corner
of the screen represents the position where the time can be changed from the dial.
You can turn on quick feed of a displayed time using the dial while holding down
SHIFT. (Tape recorders require a certain amount of response time.)
Moves the current time to the top position (00:00:00:00).
Moves the current time backward (rewind).
Moves the current time forward (quick feed)
Stops.
Starts playing (starts recording when [REC] is blinking).
Turns on the recording standby mode.
Changes the current time sequentially.
Chapter 10 Combining Recorders
"MIDI"
Select either "MULTI 1-8,"
In addition to remote
control via the R-BUS,
control of external
equipment is also available
with MMC (MIDI machine
control). It allows the
recorder to exchange
operational information
(such as that concerned
with play, stop and
recording), with devices
that recognize MMC data,
including programmable
logic controllers and hard
disk recorders.
Transmission and reception
of MMC data are carried
out according to the
settings specified in the
system SYNC CLOCK
screen (SYS SYNC/MMC)
(see p. 224).
You can turn on recording
by pressing [REC] and
[PLAY] at the same time.
