Merging Pyramix 4.3 User Manual page 130

When the Soft Chase toggle button is active, Pyramix will only playback when valid time code
is detected on the chosen time code input port. If there is a jump in the incoming time code,
Pyramix will not adjust to the new time code, but will continue playback from the current Pyra-
mix time code position. Pyramix will run on its own internal time code for up to 1 frame if there
is a drop out in the time code. If no valid time code is detected after that time, playback will
stop.
When the Vari Chase toggle button is active, Pyramix will Varispeed, I.e. alter its sampling
rate to follow fluctuations in an external time code. (going back and forth, slowing down,
accelerating, playing normally or backwards, up to 8x nominal speed) while playback (not in
record)
Jog Chase is active by default. It allows an external controller or mouse to jog Pyramix. The
Jog Chase button will manually activate jog mode when Auto Jog on move is deactivated.
