17.10 Timecode Checking
This function is used when you encounter noisy or corrupted MIDI timecode.
It is enabled in the USER SETTINGS MENU by toggling User Setting 8 to TC
CHECK ENABLED. In this mode, the Pearl samples incoming Timecode,
and where it is found to be corrupted, it substitutes parallel code generated
by the Internal Clock.
17.11 Help and Hints
Problem : Steps do not finish recording when the fader is at the top of its
travel.
Solution : The Master Faders are not at full.
Problem : Times do not seem to replay properly.
Solution : You may have a Memory fade time programmed as well as a
script file time. Make the Memory fade times zero, or zero the script file fade
time.
Problem : Some steps are missed out when replaying Script File.
Solution : Check that each step time is greater or the same as the previous
step time.
Problem : Script Files play back irregularly, or at a highly accelerated rate.
Solution : Your MIDI timecode may be corrupted past the point where the
Pearl can compensate. Check the Script File has been correctly
programmed by running it with the Internal Clock. If it runs properly, your
Timecode source may be bad.
