Timecode Chase menus added to Settings Menu 000 (Basic Settings)
The MX has added 4 new machine settings menus to the basic settings (000). The new items are menus
021 (Chase Sample Ref), 022 (Chase Freewheel), 023 (Chase Relock), and 024 (Relock Threshold).
These menus are also now available in MX-View on the Basic Settings (000) dialog.
021 Chase Sample Ref
Frame [LTC only](default)
Internal
This is a new feature, and is relevant only to LTC chase. When the
previous version of the MX was chasing timecode, the sample clock was
locked to the frame edges of the incoming Longitudinal Time Code,
unless some other specific clock source had been selected. This new
menu allows the user to opt out of this scheme, and to continue running
the MX from its internal clock.
Exceptions: This selection will be overridden if another frame or clock
reference has been specifically selected e.g. Video, Ext Wordclock, etc.
022 Chase Freewheel
5 frames
10 frames (default)
20 frames
50 frames
100 frames
This menu allows the user to select the number of frames of “bad” master
timecode through which the MX will “freewheel”. If the master
continues issuing bad timecode beyond this number of frames, then the
MX will decide that the master is no longer playing, and will exit play
mode.
023 Chase Relock
On
Off If Recording (default)
Off Always
This menu allows the user to control the behavior of the MX when it
detects that its position has drifted away from that of the master either
because the MX and the master are running at slightly different rates or
because the master has jumped to a new position. In previous versions,
the MX would simply “relock”, which meant jumping to a new position
to be synchronous with the master. Two new options allow the user
either to inhibit the relocking action when the MX is recording, or to
inhibit it altogether.
