Time Code: Mode
Sets the mode for the time code genera-
tor
• Off – time code not active, recorded or output
• Free Run – time code is initialized from
the jam menu and then runs continuously
regardless of record mode
• Continuous Jam – time code is initialized
from an external source and updates itself to
the external source when reconnected
• Record Run – time code is set from the jam
value item in the jam menu. Time code
generation starts and stops with the record
