Menu 364: P2 Chase Control
The MX-2424's P2 section now allows for receiving the P2 "chase" command from an
appropriate P2 9-pin controller.
If the MX-2424's menu 340 is set to "P2 In", and an attached P2 controller sends a "chase"
command the MX-2424 will go online and menu 000 will change to "Timecode Chase"
Menu 364 has 4 settings to allow for different situations:
Disabled (default): When set to "disabled" the MX-2424 will ignore the P2 "Chase" command
from any device that issues it. In addition, when the MX is chasing LTC or MTC, the only P2
commands accepted will be track arming and punch commands.
"Enabled: LTC": With this setting, the P2 Chase command will be accepted, as well as the P2
Offset preset command. P2 commands will be honored regardless of whether the MX is in LTC
chase.
"Enabled: MTC": With this setting, the P2 Chase command will be accepted, as well as the P2
Offset preset command. P2 commands will be honored regardless of whether the MX is in MTC
chase.
"Enabled" Auto": With this setting, the MX-2424 will be enabled for whatever timecode source it
was last set to chase in menu 000, either LTC or MTC.
New Audio File Prefixes
Previously, the MX-2424 would assign names to a project's recorded audio files which were
only related to the track an audio file was recorded on. In version 3.01 software, the audio file
prefix is given the same name as the currently loaded
For example, if the project is called "Rock Song", then recorded audio files would follow the
pattern of (ProjectName)_(Track #)_(Sequence #). The sequence numbers would increase with
ach new audio file in the project. An example of some audio files might look like:
e
(Rock Song_1_35)
(Rock Song_1_36)
Rock Song_1_37)
(
This "auto-naming" function can still be overridden at any time by using menu 820 "File Prefix”.
If the setting of Menu 820 is changed, all files generated from that point on while the project is
oaded will use the new file name.
l
When a new project is loaded or created, the audio files will again take the name of the project
nless changed in Menu 820.
