Remote control commands for positional control and operational control of a

device. In the case of the MMR-8, machine control commands can come from

the MIDI input, the Lynx or MMR buses, the Editor input or the parallel remote

input.

Master The device that is in positional control of one or more slave devices.

MIDI Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A serial data connection originally used

to communicate key and voice parameters between music synthesizers. The

MMR-8 will respond to MMC (MIDI Machine Commands) but will ignore any

other signals transmitted on the MIDI bus.

MMR Bus An asynchronous bus that ties multiple MMR-8s together to relay motion

control commands and timing references from the master machine to the slave

machines. The MMR bus supports up to four Sync Groups with their own

timing references and motion control commands.

MMR Master The MMR-8 that is in control of a particular Sync Group on the MMR bus.
