DA-78HR
This is very similar to the DA-98HR settings dis-
played above, except that the eight tracks are always 
available (since the DA-78HR always has eight 
tracks available). The main other difference is the 
inability of the DA-78HR to provide individual input 
monitoring selection on a per-track basis, and so this 
feature is not present in the control screen.The digital input selection is between the TDIF1 
inputs and the...

DA-38
The DA-38 does not include quite so many options as 
the DA-98.Input monitoring is not possible, but track copying is 
available in the same way as for the DA-98.
Since the DA-38 does not include a timecode genera-
tor, the range of options available in the 
TC/SYNC sec-
tion is more limited, being restricted only to setting 
the machine offset value.
The clock sources are restricted to internal and word.

12 – MIDI
The DM-24 can be used for control of MIDI devices, 
as well as being controlled by them.
In the section on machine control, it is explained how 
the DM-24 can be used to control MIDI devices, 
using the PODs to transmit different common Con-
trol Change messages on a single channel (“MIDI 
controllers” on page 93) or using the faders to send 
the same Control Change message on up to 16 differ-
ent MIDI channels (“MIDI faders” on page 93).In the section on...

Use POD 4 to choose the option that will be affected 
by the selected Control Change numbers. 
Since there are 32 channels and only 16 MIDI chan-
nels, there must be some mapping performed. It is 
not possible, for example, to use the MIDI volume
