There are no dedicated hardware STORE and 
RECALL keys, and no dedicated keys for increment-
ing and decrementing the current library entry num-
ber. Instead, the three library keys: 
EFFECT, EQ and 
DYNAMICS are used to bring up the appropriate 
library management screens.
The EQ library management screen shows the equal-
ization curve above the list of the currently-high-
lighted library entry. The equalization curve for the 
currently-selected module is...

dynamics processor library entry, select the 
appropriate module to which the library 
entry settings will be applied.
2Press the appropriate library key: EFFECT, 
EQ or DYNAMICS.
3Making sure that the lower center part of the 
screen points to the right (use the

8.3.2 Dynamics processor presets
The titles of these dynamics processor preset settings 
are intended to give an idea of the kind of signal for 
which they have been designed. However, this is only a guide, and you should experiment with these set-
tings, and variations of these settings, in different 
contexts in order to discover the best sounds for your 
purposes.

9 - Machine Control 
The TM-D4000 is capable of acting as a remote con-
trol unit for a wide variety of external devices. 
The exact functionality of the machine control 
depends, of course, on the device to be controlled.
The device control is carried out through any of the 
following: dedicated control connections (through 
the IF-TD4000 and IF-LP4000 interface cards), the 
RS-422 9-pin connector (P2 protocol devices) and 
MIDI connections (for MMC).
Different devices can be selected for...

to the Machine Control list.
 
NOTE
 
Because not every device that may be con-
trolled by the TM-D4000 is capable of report-
ing its presence accurately, some devices will 
not appear on the list, and must be added to 
 
the list manually.

NOTE 
The exact way in which the transport controls 
work with the external device depends on the 
capabilities of the device. For instance, the 
notion of “record” is not very meaningful when 
applied to the internal timecode generator.
There are also many specific features for dif-
ferent devices. If you require further informa-
tion on the control features of a specific 
device that are not detailed here, please con-
tact your TASCAM dealer, who...

9.2.2Play Mode
This function determines the way in which the PLAY 
key works. There are three settings:, Auto, 
Deferred and Immediate.
AUTO : The PLAY indicator will ash as the unit is 
locating to a location point. When the location point 
is reached, playback will start automatically. How-
ever, if the PLAY key is pressed before the location 
point is reached, the unit will stop locating and start 
playing.
DEFERRED : The unit will stop after location is...

9.3.2 Storing a location memory “on the 
fly”
This procedure allows you to set a location memory, 
regardless of whether timecode is currently being 
received or not. If timecode is not currently being 
received, the value of the location memory will be 
the last received value as shown on the time counter.
The value on the time counter, regardless of source, 
will be stored as the location memory. This may be 
timecode, MTC or an ABS time from a DTRS unit....
