Initialization file format
Initialization files
MMCDelayMsecs=<num> Integer 100 This setting specifies the minimum amount of time that
must elapse between any two MMC commands. Some
MMC gear, including the Fostex MTC-1 and the
Tascam SY-88, can get confused unless there is at
least a 10-millisecond delay after every MMC
command. This can cause intermittent problems on
fast machines. SONAR corrects this problem with the
MMCDelayMsecs=<n> line. The default value is 100
milliseconds, although some experimentation may be
required to find the proper value for your system.
MMCPort=<num> Integer -1 (all) By default, SONAR will transit MMC commands on all
MIDI outputs. In some situations it is necessary to limit
the number of outputs MMC is transmitting on. This
line specifies which output MMC is to be transmitted
on. The value is 0 based, so a value of 0 means output
1, and a value of 1 means output 2, etc.
MMCPreRoll=<num> Integer 20 (2 seconds) This line specifies the MMC pre-locate amount in 1/10
seconds. By default, SONAR waits for two seconds
after it starts receiving time code before beginning to
playback or record. You can add this line to change
the two-second delay.
If this setting does not exist, the value of the
ChaseDelay setting is used. If the ChaseDelay
setting does not exist either, then the default for
MMCPreRoll is 20.
MMCUseEvent=<0 or 1> Boolean 1 (enable) If all MMC features work except for Auto Punch record
mode, your equipment probably doesn't support the
MMC Event command (consult with the manufacturer
if you aren't sure). You can overcome this limitation by
adding this line.
SendLocalOff=<0 or 1> Boolean 1 (enable) This line determines whether or not SONAR should
send a Local Control OFF message during startup.
SendLocalOn=<0 or 1> Boolean 0 (disable) This line determines whether or not SONAR should
send a Local Control ON message at exit.
