Master Effects; Meter Bridge; Master Tape; Low Frequency Damp - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Locate
On a recording device, video device, or MIDI sequencer etc., a
function that allows a specific time (or location within a song) to be
registered. On this system, up to 100 time locations can be
registered as locate points. When remotely controlling a multitrack
recorder or using automix, this allows you to move rapidly to a
desired time location.
Lo-Fi processor
An effect that creates a "lo-fi" sound by lowering the sampling
frequency and/or number of bits.

Low frequency damp

A function that causes the low-frequency portion of reverberation
or repeated delay to be attenuated first, producing a cleaner-
sounding effect. Also called simply "low damp." This can be used
in conjunction with high-frequency damp to simulate the
absorptive characteristics of various wall materials of a room.
High frequency damp

Low frequency trimmer

A parameter that allows fine adjustment of the low frequency gain.
Low pass filter (LPF)
A filter that allows frequencies below a specified cutoff frequency
to pass.
LTC/Longitudinal time code
A format of SMPTE time code, which indicates the absolute time
recorded on an audio tape in units of hours, minutes, seconds, and
frames. It is recorded on an audio track in the form of an audio
signal. Although MTC (MIDI Time Code) is used when
synchronizing this device with a MIDI sequencer, LTC is used
when synchronizing with a device such as an MTR.
Macro
A function that lets you assign a frequently-used screen and cursor
location to one of the numeric keys for instant recall. When you
hold down [SHIFT] and press a numeric key 1–9, the current screen
and cursor location will be memorized. If a screen has already been
registered for that numeric key, the same operation will recall the
screen. To cancel a registration, hold down [SHIFT] and press
[CLEAR], and then press the numeric key.

Manual punch-in

The action of manually switching to record mode during automix
playback, in order to re-record the automix.
Master
1. A parameter, knob, or fader that affects all channels in
common.
2. When two or more devices (sequencers, drum machines,
recorders, video devices etc.) are operated in synchronization,
the device that transmits tempo or time data is called the
"master." (The devices that receive this data and follow it are
called "slaves.")

Master effects

Insertion effects that are provided specifically for the main out or
monitor out. On this system, you can choose one of the following
three effects; speaker modeling, ten-band graphic equalizer, and
three-band dynamics.
Master fader

Master tape

A recorded tape for which editing, mixdown, and mastering have
been completed. This is used as the original from which the
duplication media are mass-produced. The original from which
video tapes are mass-produced is also called the master tape. (The
term is sometimes applied to the multitrack recording on which
work is currently being done.)
Mixdown
Mastering
Mastering
The process of adding index numbers and recording time data to a
two-channel recording (for which editing and mixdown has been
completed), and applying tonal compensation etc. to bring the
recording to its final state. Corresponds to the process of cutting an
analog record master.
Memory card
A card-shaped storage medium that can be used to externally store
various types of data. This system uses small memory cards
(SmartMedia) that contain flash memory.
Flash memory
SmartMedia
Metal
A type of effect that distorts the sound, used mainly for electric
guitar. On this system, it is used in the guitar multi algorithms.
Similar effects include Overdrive (p. 241) and Distortion (p. 235). Of
these, Metal produces the most intense and aggressive distortion.

Meter bridge

A collection of level meters for multiple channels of a mixer etc. A
meter bridge (MB-24: sold separately) can be installed on this
system above the console. This allows you to view the level of each
channel even when the screen of the console is displaying data
other than the meters.

Mic converter

Part of the input/output settings of a mic simulator algorithm. It
allows a sound that was actually recorded by an inexpensive
general-purpose mic to be transformed so that it appears to have
been recorded by an expensive studio mic, or to apply the
characteristics of a specific mic to an instrumental sound that was
recorded via direct line input.
