TASCAM DM-24 2.0 release notes 21 DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—GPI functionality The HUI emulation, when selected, uses the first eight channel faders of the DM-24 as hardware fad- ers for the DAW: the faders as DAW track faders, the hardware MUTE keys for the DAW mutes, hardware REC keys for track arming, and virtual on-screen PODs as the DAW pan controls:.Use the two on-screen BANK buttons to select groups of eight DAW channels. All the DM-24 physical con- trols change accordingly. The CHANNEL buttons move the view of eight chan- nels one at a time (compared to the BANK buttons, which move the view eight at a time). Use the PODs to control the DAW track panning or the sends from A through E, as selected by the on- screen buttons at the top of the screen. The SHIFT button provides a way of using the DM- 24’s touch-sensitive faders rather than the PODs for the aux sends, etc. by “flipping” the faders and PODs. Note that the DAW’s track naming capabilities are echoed through to the DM-24, so you can see the first four characters of the names on the DM-24 display. Note that this may produce some problems if you are not careful with the names, so you should use the first four characters to identify tracks, for example, BasD and BasG rather than Bass Drum and Bass Guitar.
22 TASCAM DM-24 2.0 release notes DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—Automation Automation Touch function The touch function is used to overwrite and erase POD, rotary encoder or switch moves. Since these controls are not touch-sensitive, this is a useful way to erase previous mix moves on these controls.The relationship between the previous mix moves and moves made using the touch function is shown below To operate the touch function: 1Enable Global Write mode. 2Press and hold the TOUCH key and while holding it, operate the non touch-sensitive control (PODs, rotary encoders or switches) to begin writing or overwriting at the con- trol’s current value. While moving the con-trol, you can release the TOUCH key. Write mode is still enabled for this control. 3Make a new mix move or end writing manu- ally by pressing the REVERT key. If a new move is written, the revert action follows the settings made on the AUTO MAIN screen. UNDO (static) The UNDO key now can be used to undo adjustments made to a static control during a mix pass, as well as its previous “undo all mix moves” function. 8 sec 8 sec +12 +6 +3 0 -3 -6 -12 +12 +6 +3 0 -3 -6 -121 sec 2 sec 3 sec 4 sec5 sec 6 sec7 sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 sec 4 sec5 sec 6 sec7 sec -9 Existing Move Mix Move Press/Hold TOUCH & Move controlNew Move Auto or Manual Revert Control WritingRevert Time
TASCAM DM-24 2.0 release notes 23 DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—Automation KEEP operations The keep operation saves a copy of the current mix into an empty memory bank, if available. If there is not enough space (all banks are filled) the top unpro- tected bank is erased, all other banks “slide up” and the lowest is filled with the new data. If the KEEP CONFIRMATION option in the automation setup is checked, a popup message appears to ask whether the bank should be deleted, otherwise the bank is deleted with no confirmation. To perform the keep function, press and hold the 2ND F. key and press KEEP.If the timecode is running when the Keep operation is performed, the DM-24 waits until the timecode stops before performing the data storage, otherwise the storage takes place immediately. The mix name’s last character is a number or letter (0-9, A-Z, a-z), automatically incremented as the data storage takes place. If there is no change to the data between the previous store, and the time that the Keep operation is requested, a message appears, showing that there is no change, and asking whether the Keep operation is to take place. Single control mix move erase If a single control’s mix moves are to be erased, this can now be done by placing the control into static mode (using the AUTO CONFIG screen), and running timecode. This erases the mix move data for this control.After an undo of this operation, the mode remains static, meaning that the data will be deleted if the mode is not changed to another mode (that is, other than static). TRIM ALL function To use the TRIM ALL function (also described in the main manual): 1Enable TRIM ALL in the AUTO MAIN screen. 2Enable Global Trim mode and run the time- code. 3Adjust the control (typically a fader) that will use the Trim All function.4Complete the mix pass by stopping the time- code.NOTE You must stop the timecode to complete the Trim All pass. The Trim all function cannot be combined with other Global automation modes in the same mix pass. Other automation improvements In addition to the specific improvements and changes listed here, all automation functionality described in the manual (for example, the Trim All function and the Control Sense Timeout on/off function) is now complete. Rehearsal In order to distinguish rehearsals from actual write or trim operations, the status indicator flashes in dim mode during rehearsal. Undo (Write to End) The Undo function on Write to End operations has been improved. Auto Fade Problems were occasionally reported when an Auto Fade was interrupted. The behavior of this function has now been improved. Motorized faders The motorized fader setting is now made from the main AUTOMATION screen, as well as the PREFERENCES screen.
24 TASCAM DM-24 2.0 release notes DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—Miscellaneous changes Miscellaneous changes High-speed digital format restored On the DIGITAL FORMAT screen, in high sampling mode (“Constraints on other devices” on page 142), the HI-SPEED mode is supported once more together with NORMAL and DUAL-LINE as options.Note that in the 1.60 software release, this mode was not supported. Flattening an EQ band It is possible to flatten (set the gain to 0) of an EQ band of the selected channel by pressing and holding the 2ND F. key together with the key corresponding to the EQ band to be flattened. External switch (footswitch) functionality The external switch (typically a non-latching foots- witch) can be assigned to a number of different func- tions. With the SHIFT indicator lit, press the UTILITY key, and then select the EXT. SW screen. The following screen appears: Select the switch function from the following list: • Talkback to audio and slate ( TO STUDIO AND SLATE )• Talkback to studio only ( TO STUDIO) • Talkback to slate only ( TO SLATE) • Punch in and punch out ( Punch In/Out) • Direct location ( Direct Locate)—the number of the direct locate point should be set here as well in the field following this option • Start or stop playback ( Play/Stop) • Parallels the 2ND F. key (2ND F) • Parallels the automation KEEP key (Automation KEEP ) • Increments the number of the library entry which will be recalled next using direct recall ( Increment Direct Library Recall ) • Decrements the number of the library entry which will be recalled next using direct recall ( Decrement Direct Library Recall) • Allows the timing of the integral delay effect to be set by using the footswitch as a tap tempo input device ( Tap Tempo for Delay Effect) • Mutes or unmutes a mute group ( Mute On/Off for Mute Group )—set the mute group in the field fol- lowing the option • Turns the equalization on or off on the currently- selected channel ( EQ On/Off for Current CH)
