LRC With MTP/AV

Here’s a real common question we get about the MOTU MTP/AV: “My LRC in the Pedal B jack on the MTP/AV doesn’t work right. It will only fast forward or rewind about 5 seconds, then it stops and the ADAT’s rarely lock up. What gives?”
When connecting your LRC to the MTPAV via the Pedal B jack, the LRC becomes an MMC device, as opposed to a direct transport control. Since the MMC standard only works with Locate points, MOTU had to create a (somewhat) arbitrary locate point of 10-second intervals for Fast Forward and Rewind functions. The 10-second FF/RW interval with the LRC is described in page 62 of the MTPAV manual for Windows, and on page 100 of the MTPAV manual for Mac.” Editor’s note: A common technique for using the MTP/AV in this way with an LRC is to simply push the FF or RR buttons several times depending upon how far you wish to go. For example, pushing FF 5 times will cause the machines to locate 50 seconds forward from their current location. This may seem kind of kludgy at first, but once you get used to it you may really appreciate the precision of working this way.
