Cycle
Cycle is used to continuously play between two timecode points (Cycle From and Cycle To) and rewinds the
transport when the end point is reached.
ä To Cycle click on the Cycle icon on the Encore screen.
The CYCLE key will flash and the MCS Labels dialogue box will be displayed on the Encore screen showing the
current Label List.
There are now two methods of deciding the cycle points: Auto Cycle or Cycle Labels.
Auto Cycle
This uses the last timecodes that were the play and stop points. The Auto Cycle From and To points are updated
every time the PLAY and STOP keys are pressed, so the play point can be updated at any time while the transport
is already in Play by pressing the PLAY key.
ä
While the CYCLE key is flashing, press the CYCLE key again or the PLAY key.
The CYCLE key will illuminate steady and the transport will now cycle between the two points. The other
transport keys will indicate the transport status (i.e. rewind, play, stop, etc.). This will continue until a different
transport command is issued.
