Okay, first of all this looks horrendous in monochrome, if
someone wants to fix it fine. I don't have a mono monitor so I
couldn't make 2 resources.
Most everything works "like you think it should" I hope.
There's lots of error trapping(can't go into record if a track is not
in record, can't play if there's nothing to play etc.) but here are
some things to be careful of. Quantize is a one shot deal--once you've
quantized you can't go back. If in record you can hit 0 then play and
you'll hear back what you recorded(if of course you started at 0).
If in record and you hit safe, play or solo for that track, your
recording is saved. If you go out of record or go into record on
another track the previous recording is NOT saved. While tape is
"rolling" hitting the mouse over any of the markers enters the time
there. If tape isn't "rolling" one click highlights, then the next
marker hit receives that value. Double clicking on a marker allows
numeric entry. It is quite forgiving, ddd30y3/56 gives 030:03:056 etc.
Selected region in the dialog boxes means between the left and right
locators. MIDI thru echoes on the channel being recorded on. Yes
folks it does accept song position pointer(I think--don't have an
SBX-80 to check it out). Space bar stops, Enter plays, 0 zeroes,
and * records. Clicking on TEM decreases tempo, PO increases. Click
on the number to enter a value. Same for CL and IK but you can't
enter a value on 1/4 etc. Anything in the EDIT menu works between
the left and right locators and the "tape counter", e.g. Copy-All traks
FROM left marker TO right marker AT tape counter. Enjoy--Geoff Waddington
