USING THE FRONT PANEL LCD

104

Getting familiar with the LCD conventions

Here are several conventions that will help you

navigate through the LCD display:

■ Left and right arrows indicate that there is

another screenful of data to the left or right that

relates to the current window.

Figure 11-1: The left and right arrows indicate other windows to the

left or right, which you can scroll to with the CURSOR knob.

■ “Y/N” means to press the YES/NO button to

conﬁrm or execute something you have just done

in the LCD.

■ “<E>” means to press the ENTER button to

conﬁrm or carry out something you have just done

in the LCD.

■ “N” or “Y” means to press the YES/NO button to

toggle something from N to Y or Y to N. “Y” means

“on” or “enabled” and “N” means “off” or

“di sabl ed”.

■ When choosing a base setup, modiﬁer, or patch,

“N” means that the base setup or modiﬁer has not

been called up. (Press the YES/NO button to recall

it.) “Y” means that the modiﬁer, base setup or

patch has been called up. In this case, disable the

modiﬁer, base setup, or patch by enabling a

different one.

■ When selecting cables in the LCD, the cable

range can either be 1-8 or 1-16 if you have two

MIDI Timepieces. “MAC” or “M” stands for the

Macintosh (computer port), “NET” or “N” stands

for the network port, and “mac” or “m” stands for

the computer port on a MIDI Timepiece that you

have networked to the one with which you are

working.

■ If you ﬁnd yourself in a window that asks you to

save settings that you have made, and you do not

want to save the changes, turn the WINDOW knob

to exit the window and cancel the operation.

Using the knobs to control the LCD

Here is how the four knobs control the LCD:

■ Use the WINDOW knob to select a main

window. The LCD has eleven main windows that

correspond to the MIDI Timepiece AV’s primary

capabilities.

■ Use the CURSOR knob to select variables within

each window. A variable is a numeric or text item

that ﬂashes when it is selected. When selected, you

can change it with the VALUE knob.

■ Use the VALUE knob to change the currently

ﬂashing numeric or text item in the LCD.

■ Sometimes the LCD has two ﬂashing variables.

In this case, one of them is underlined. Use the

SELECT knob to change a ﬂashing, u

nderlined

variable.

When the LCD and software conﬂict

If you’ve been using Clock Works on the computer

to edit the MIDI Timepiece AV, the LCD may not

be able to accurately reﬂect the changes you have

made from the software because the software can

do things that the LCD cannot. For example, you

can program a knob to send system exclusive data

from the software, but this is not possible from the

LCD. If there is any doubt, check the software since

it can accurately reﬂect everything about the MIDI

Timepiece AV.

WORKING WITH BASE SETUPS

Think of a base setup as a picture of all the MIDI

Timepiece AV’s current internal settings saved all at

once. This includes its cable routing connections,

muting and rechannelizing settings, SMPTE

convert settings––everything.
