How the hell does this thing work!

How the hell does this thing work!

2012-04-10 by ataritt

I'm getting terribly frustrated.
I only have manuals MFX, CMI reference manual R8 and the service manual.

NOWHERE in those manuals is told how you quit the MFX multitrack program and return to CMI8 in it's full glory!

Please help me with the magic command line to unleash the beast.

I have managed to get into it ONCE but now it will just quit when you type <quit> and when you run <cmi> the machine comes back to the multitracker... 


DAMN!

Please can anyone help me to find the introduction manual and the basic manual.

It's Esc-F1 to start the fun,
Then Esc-F2 and so on, at that point you can/should use the mouse to do things.
But flipping pages is always about Esc-Something, or Shift or Control-Something, and so forth !

 Have Fun !

Also the manuals you can reach from inside the command line box top left, by typing /? 
It will tell you the commands you can make in that particular area.
Some other things you can make from the disk prompt itself, same trick i think /?
Been a long time for me, but it is still vibrant :)

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
