Partitions are only listed after a disk has been formatted and appear when a disk or partition is to be selected. The SUB MIX cannot be assigned to a mixer channel, but can be assigned to the stereo outputs. -- "Assigning sources to mixer channels." on page 36 To assign an input source (INPUTs A through D, the AUX INPUTS, the recorded TRACKs, or the STEREO mix to a mixer channel: "SSA (Slow Speed Audition)" -- on page 59 NOTE NOTE It is not possible to record while the SSA mode is active.

NOTE Because of the time needed to lock to incoming MTC, allow at least 5 seconds of silence at the start of a song when using external sync. Explanation -- "MIDI Timecode offset (788 as slave only)" on page 97 For example, if the MIDI timecode master starts the timecode playback at 00:57:00:00, and the actual piece starts at 01:00:00:00, you might want to enter an offset of 3 minutes, so that when the piece starts, the ABS time on the 788 display shows 01:00:00:00 (see "The time display" on page 26). For example, if the MIDI timecode master starts the timecode playback at 00:57:00:00, and the actual piece starts at 01:00:00:00, you might want to enter an offset of 1 hour, so that when the piece starts, the ABS time on the 788 display shows 00:00:00:00 (see "The time display" on page 26).
