    The Purpose of this Tutorial:
    The TM-D1000 Digital Mixer Tutorial is designed to help you become famil\
    iar with the normal
    operations of this digital mixer in a reasonably short time.  Its conten\
    t was based on the
    training and trouble shooting experience of our Product Specialists.  Th\
    is guide does not cover
    every feature; its purpose is to get you up and running quickly.  We rec\
    ommend you start out
    with this manual, but remember to at least scan the other manuals later \

    Recall
    On the next page, we have shown the TM-D1000 with a familiar analog mixe\
    r layout.  You can refer
    to this if you are looking for specific features.
    The TM-D1000 is a 16 channel digital mixer.  The first 8 channels have a\
    nalog inputs, the last 8 have
    digital inputs.  When recording, the first 8 channels will probably be u\
    sed for bringing signal into the
    mixer and sending it to the multitrack.  The last 8 will probably be use\
    d for monitoring multitrack returns.
    On mixdown and for live situations, you can use all 16 channels simultan\
    eously.
    Each channel has a 3 band EQ.  The mid band is parametric,
    and the highs and lows are sweepable.  (If you are unfamiliar
    with these terms, look up “EQ ” in Section XIII - What The Heck
    is That?)  All three bands are totally overlappable from 41Hz to
    16kHz.  While the names of the bands are high/mid/low, they
    can all be assigned virtually anywhere in the audible frequency
    spectrum.
    auxiliary sends.  Each one is individually selectable pre or
    post fader.  They can be used as mono sends or you can
    take two and gang them in stereo.  That way, youve got
    either 4 mono sends, or one stereo and two mono sends.
    The TM-D1000
    also offers up to 4
    Built in effects
    also come
    standard on the TM-D1000.  The built in card offers 4 slots of
    processing.  Dynamics (i.e. compressors and expanders) take
    one slot.  Stereo effects (i.e. reverb, flange, delay, etc.) take two
    slots.
    After youve slaved over your mix and gotten everything set just
    the way you like it, you can save the mix.  There are 128
    scenes of snapshot memory, which will store your levels,
    EQ, aux, routing, and effects.  You can name your scenes,
    with up to a 16 character name.  We have included upper
    and lower case letters, numbers, and everything you need
    for proper punctuation in your scene name.  (Your English
    teacher will be proud.)
    One unique feature and great advantage to the scene
    memory in this mixer is the transition time.  This allows
    you to create a crossfade from one scene into the next.
    The transition time is adjustable from 0 to 10 seconds in 1/10 of a seco\
    nd intervals.  This is very useful
    for setting up separate mixes of the verse, chorus, or bridge, and simpl\
    y recalling the scene to smoothly
    fade from one section to the next.  It can also be used to give a beauti\
    ful fade-out at the end of the
    song.  These scenes are recallable via MIDI with a standard program numb\
    er message.  (Note:
    Channel and master volumes are the only parameters that will crossfade. \
     The EQ, aux, etc. all snap
    instantaneously with the scene change.)
    For more advanced automation options, all mixing functions have been ass\
    igned to MIDI parameters for
    real-time automation with a MIDI sequencer.  Simply put the sequencer in\
    to record and start mixing.
    MIDI messages will be sent out, and received.
    Also, if you have a recorder that can receive MIDI Machine Control, the \
    TM-D1000 can act as the
    remote control with Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Record, 16 locate \
    points, and track arming.

    							Whether your studio is digital or analog, there are a few things you nee\
    d to know before really getting
    into any recording.  When digital audio devices are linked together, it \
    is imperative that the user
    understand terms like word clock, sample rate, and bit rate.  So, here’s a crash course in digital audio.

    Sampling 1/1000th
    Second of Audio
    Reconstructing
    Waveform
    The first thing we need to explain is what this
    squiggly line that everyone always draws
    actually represents.  For the physics buffs, this
    displays force over time.  For the rest of the
    world, think of this line as the path the speaker
    diaphragm will take to reproduce the sound.  If
    you put a ruler vertically across the wave, and
    drag the paper across underneath the ruler
    horizontally, the waveform line tells you where
    the speaker moves when making that sound.
    Digital audio converters are kind of like a
    movie projector on 15 cups of Starbucks
    coffee.  In a movie, the moving picture is made up of a series of still \
    images flashed by you at a rate of
    24 to 30 frames a second.  But remember, each picture is a still image. \
     In audio, we are examining the
    waveform at a rate of 44,100 times per second (44.1kHz) or 48,000 time\
    s per second (48kHz.)  The
    number of times per second we are examining the sound wave is our sample\
     rate.
    Each time the waveform is examined, the position of the
    waveform is recorded with a binary number, called a
    word.  The number of digits in the word is your bit rate.
    (Each digit is one  “bit ”.)  For instance,
    0100110100111001 is a 16 bit word, because it has 16
    digits in it.  011010001011110100110010 is a 24 bit
    word, because it has 24 digits in it.
    When it comes time to convert the digital signal back into
    analog, the sample data must be reconstructed.  The
    data itself is simply storing the location of the sound
    wave at a given interval.
    Once the data is recovered, the waveform is reconstructed.  This is a bi\
    g game of dot-to-dot, except the
    converters are typically armed with some fancy mathematical symbols that\
     round out the edges.  Once
    that ’s done, you ’ve got your sound back!
    So, the two main aspects of a digital signal are the sample
    rate, and the word length AKA bit rate.  The word length of
    each device can vary because most digital devices can
    truncate extra digits out, or fill blank spaces in with more
    zeros. But, the sample rate must remain the same when the
    connection is made digitally.  In fact, the sample rate not
    only needs to be the same, but the sample rate needs to be
    synchronized between all the units.
    The sample rate is synchronized by utilizing a word clock
    master.  One device in the chain will be designated the
    master, and the others will follow.  Some digital lines
    are internally clocked, meaning they carry word clock information within\
     the line.  Others will require
    separate word clock lines.  On the next three pages you will find diagra\
    ms for some common hook-ups
    for the TM-D1000, as well as instructions for setting the word clock sta\
    tus on your TM-D1000 mixer.

    If you are using a DA-38 or DA-98, your master word clock should be set to TDIF1 A.  This makes your
    Multitrack machine the word clock master.  The DA-38 and DA-98 can both \
    transmit word clock
    information through the TDIF1 line, and the TM-D1000 will follow that. NOTE: The TDIF cable must be
    connected from the DA-38 or DA-98 to the TM-D1000 before setting the Mas\
    ter Word Clock.  Otherwise,
    the TM-D1000 display will read “Error! No Signal TDIF-1 A ”. This means there is no word clock
    information at the TDIF port.  The TM-D1000 then resets the Master Word \
    clock to the internal clock.
    If you are using a DA-88, your master word clock should be set to Word Sync In [44.1k] or Word S\
    ync
    In [48k] depending on what sample rate you are using.  If you formatted \
    your tape at 44.1kHz, then use
    Word Sync In [44.1k].  If you formatted your tape at 48kHz, then use Wor\
    d Sync In [48k].  If you don ’t
    know which sample rate you selected for your machine, there are two indi\
    cator lights on the DA-88 just
    to the right of the  “tape eject ” button labelled 44.1k and 48k.  NOTE: The BNC to RCA cable must be
    connected from the DA-88 to the TM-D1000 before setting the master word \
    clock.  Otherwise, the TM-
    D1000 display will read  “Error! Fs Clock Error>Internal ”. This means there is no word clock information
    at the Word Sync In port.  The TM-D1000 then resets the master word cloc\
    k to the internal clock.
    If you are using an ADAT or another lightpipe unit with an IF-TAD, your master word clock should
    be set to Word Sync In [44.1k] or Word Sync In [48k] depending on what s\
    ample rate you are using.  If
    you formatted your tape at 44.1kHz, then use Word Sync In [44.1k].  If y\
    ou formatted your tape at 48kHz,
    then use Word Sync In [48k]. NOTE: The BNC to RCA cable must be connected from the IF-TAD to the
    TM-D1000 before setting the master word clock.  Otherwise, the TM-D1000 \
    display will read  “Error! Fs
    Clock Error>Internal ”. This means there is no word clock information at the Word Sync In port\
    .  The TM-
    D1000 then resets the master word clock to the internal clock.

    Inside the display screen, up to four parameters are available for adjus\
    tment.  They can be changed with
    the four dials just underneath the screen.  If there is an arrow in the \
    upper right corner of the screen, that
    means there are more parameters on another screen.  Simply turn the DATA\
     ENTRY dial in the direction
    of the arrow to get to those parameters.  If there is a down arrow, pres\

    The digital pad is in the EQ screen just in case you boost the EQ to the\
    point of distorting the channel.  When you boost the gain on the EQ, you\
    are actually increasing the volume of the signal.  If the volume is boos\
    ted
    too much, the channel can overload.  So, we put the digital pad into the\

    channel in case you go hog wild with the EQ.  The digital pad reduces th\
    e signal level before it enters the
    EQ section in increments of 6dB, allowing more headroom for heavy handed\
     EQ curves.
    The other three parameters are the controls for the mid band of the EQ. \
     This is the parametric band.
    Youll notice the right arrow in the upper right of the screen.  So, tur\
    n the DATA ENTRY dial to the right,
    and well see the rest of the EQ section.  The screen should look someth\
    ing like this:
    Here we have the two sweepable bands of EQ.  As we mentioned in
    Section I - Mixer Overview, all of the bands of EQ sweep from 41Hz to
    16kHz.  So, they can be placed in any order you wish.  Again, in the upp\
    er
    right hand side of the screen, there is an arrow.  This time it points t\
    o the
    left.  Turning the DATA ENTRY dial to the left will bring us back to the\
     first screen of the EQ.
    Note:  The following walk-through assumes you have not changed the mixer\
     from the factory default
    configuration.
    To get to the Auxiliaries, press the CH SEL button on the channel you wi\
    sh to change, then press
    PARAM SEL until the AUX light just above the PARAM SEL button turns gree\
    n.  The screen will look as
    follows:
    ---------- Walk through the Aux ----------
    1-2 Pan-Level34CTR000
    1-234PostPostPost
    Currently, the first two auxiliaries are ganged in stereo.  The third an\
    d
    fourth aux sends are each mono.  Again, the four parameters are
    changed with the four dials located directly underneath them.  Since the\
    first two effects are ganged in stereo, the two controls become
    panning between the two sends, and level.  Sends 3 and 4 each have simpl\
    e level controls.  Again, youll
    notice there is an arrow in the upper right.
    If you turn the DATA ENTRY dial to the right, you can change the aux to
    pre or post fader.  Note that each aux on each channel is independently
    adjustable to pre or post fader; this screen is not a global change for \
    the
    entire board.
    The black faders to the right of all your channel strips act as the aux \
    send master.  So, to get an aux send
    out, you need to mix the appropriate amount on each channel aux and rais\
    e the aux send master to the
    appropriate level.
    If we are using the
    aux for effect sends,
    then we will also
    need to return the
    effects somewhere.
    The board’s default
    setting brings one of
    the built-in effects
    into EFFECT
    RETURN.  So, if the
    board is set up in the
    default mode, the
    channel aux send,
    master aux send,
    and EFFECT RETURN all need to be raised.

    When you are ready to change the configuration of the mixer from the def\
    ault settings, it is important to
    know that the busses (1-2, 3-4) share the routing with the auxiliaries\
    .  So, you can have 4 busses and no
    auxiliaries, 2 busses and 2 auxiliaries, or no busses and 4 auxiliaries.\
      For more information on this, read
    Section V - Buss+Aux=4.
    Note:  The following walk-through assumes you have not changed the mixer\
     from the factory default
    configuration.  For more information on effect configuration with the ef\
    fects card, see Section VI - Effect
    Set-ups.

    --------- Walk through the Effects ----------
    To get to your built-in effects, press the
    PARAM SEL until the
    EFFECT/DYNAMICS light turns green.
    The first screen shows whether the
    effect is engaged or not, and where the
    input and output levels are set for that
    processor.  In the upper right, there is
    an arrow pointing to the right, as well as
    a down arrow.  If you turn the DATA
    ENTRY dial to the right, you can edit
    the parameters of a particular effect.  If you press the DATA ENTRY dial\
     down, you can switch between
    two built-in processors.
    To change the type of effect, make sure the screen is showing the proces\
    sor you wish to change, and
    press ESCAPE/RECALL.  The screen will flash effect names.  Rotate the DA\
    TA ENTRY dial to select the
    effect you wish to use.  To make finding specific effects easier, the to\
    p line gives you the name of the
    effect, while the bottom line will tell you what the effect is (i.e. re\
    verb, delay, flange, chorus, etc.)  Once
    you’ve found the effect you wish to select, press Enter.
    Currently, there are two effect processors
    Processor 1 on L/R output - This processor is very useful for master mix\
     compression, gating, enhancing
    EQ, or even adding some phase/flange/chorus for wild effects.
    Processor 2 on aux 1&2 - This processor allows reverb, delay, chorus, ph\
    asing, flanging etc. to be
    applied in different amounts to each channel.  This will act just like a\
    n external effect processor which is
    fed by AUX SEND 1 and 2, and returns through EFFECT RETURN.
    These effect processors can be reassigned to many different configuratio\
    ns.  For a detailed explanation
    of the options, see Section V - Buss+Aux=4, and Section VI - Effect Set-\
    ups.
    The built-in snapshot capability can make mixing your song much easier. \
     You can set up separate mixes
    for the intro, verse, chorus, etc.  Then, you can use the transition tim\
    e with each snapshot to create a
    smooth crossfade from one part to the next.
    To save a snapshot, press SHIFT and STORE.  (You must do this while not\
     in an effects screen,
    otherwise you will only store the effect.)  The screen will show you yo\
    ur first available snapshot.  In other
    words, if you have 8 snapshots already stored, the mixer will automatica\
    lly offer to record the snapshot
    as number 9.  This way, you do not have to worry about accidentally reco\
    rding over any other scenes.  If
    you are choosing to write a new snapshot, press ENTER.  If you want to r\
    ecord over an old snapshot,
    rotate the DATA ENTRY dial until you reach the snapshot you want to over\
    write and press ENTER.
