Real-Time Automation

These tutorials have assumed you are using your Digital Recording
Console 02R with one or more of the optional I/O cards installed and a
multitrack recorder connected. In this section, you will be synchronizing
your multitrack recorder to the 02R. There are three basic ways of doing
this:
If your multitrack recorder is equipped with a SMPTE timecode output
l
connector, you use an audio cable to connect it to the SMPTE
TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel of the 02R.
Use an external SMPTE timecode generator if your multitrack recorder
l
cannot output SMPTE time. You need to record timecode onto one of
the tracks of your multitrack recorder and connect the output from that
track directly to the SMPTE TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel
of the 02R.
Use a MIDI sequencer to send MTC (MIDI timecode) to the 02R as well
l
as your multitrack recorder. Connect a MIDI cable to the MTC
TIME CODE INPUT jack on the rear panel of the 02R.
There is an additional option - you can automate the 02R using its internal
timecode generator. However, you cannot synchronize with an external
device as the 02R has no timecode output connectors. This mode is effective
for learning how to use the automation system.
Basic Connections and Setup
1. Connect your timecode source to the 02R.
2. Press the (AUTOMIX) button repeatedly to get to the "Main"
screen.
There are six screens in the AUTOMIX display function. The "Automix
