21 TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 8 - Monitoring, etc. The TM-D1000 allows you to connect an ampliÞer/ speaker monitoring system to the MONITOR OUT connectors. The level of the signal transmitted from there is controlled by the LEVEL control. There is also a PHONES jack, into which you can plug standard headphones. The level here is indepen- dently controllable with the PHONES LEVEL control. WARNING Do not connect a pair of monaural head- phones to the stereo PHONES jack with a monaural jack plug. This can damage the TM- D1000 headphone ampliÞer. 8.1 Choosing the monitoring source Use the MONITOR SELECT switches to select the monitor source (the bottom MONO switch is not a source selection switch, but switches the stereo mon- itored busses to a mono mix). As explained earlier, when recording, you will prob- ably want to listen to the L-R mix, as this is the mix to which all tracks can be assigned safely. However, you can also use the 1-2 and 3-4 SELECT switches to check the group and aux outputs, as well as the EXT switch to check the input at the EXT IN jacks (see 8.1.1, EXT INbelow). NOTE Signals corrseponding to the analog nominal level will be shown on the meters as Ð16 dB. You can select more than one monitor source at a time (more than one of these switches can be pressed simultaneously). NOTE When the EXT IN switch is pressed, even if digital signal SELECT switches are also pressed, the meters will be in ÒanalogÓ mode, i.e. any peak hold or release time settings (see 14.2, Meter settings) will not be effective. The MONO switch allows you to check the mono mix of any of these stereo pairs. However, you should note that the meters will still continue to meter the two stereo signals individually, rather than the summed stereo pair. WARNING As mentioned earlier, you should not assign the return from any recorded tracks to a pair of groups feeding those tracks, otherwise you will create a feedback loop. 8.1.1 EXT IN The EXT IN switch is a little different from the other switches provided to select the monitor source. The L-R, 1-2, and 3-4 show the digital signal levels on the meter, the EXT IN switch shows the analog levels received at the EXT INPUT jacks. The options which affect the meter ballistics (see 14.2, Meter settings) only apply to the digital mon- itor selections, not to the analog EXT IN metering. 8.2 Soloing The TM-D1000 provides you with three solo modes: a pre-fade listen mode (PFL), an after (post)-fade lis- ten (AFL) and an in-place solo mode (IPS). The last two modes are mono modes (i.e. the pan or balance controls will have no effect on the Þnal solo mix). The solo mode is activated by pressing the SOLO key (above group 3 and 4 faders). Depending on the solo mode, this key will either light (IPS) or ßash (AFL or PFL) red. The current solo mode is also shown in the display for about a second after the solo mode is enabled. The channel MUTE keys change function and become solo keys when the solo mode is activated. In addition to the ÒprimaryÓ solo mode, there is also a ÒsecondaryÓ solo mode, which is activated when the SHIFT key is pressed and held down and the SOLO key is pressed. The assignment of primary and secondary solo modes is explained below. NOTE One big difference between the AFL and the IPS modes is that when IPS is activated, unsoloed channels will be cut from the L-R

If you are working in a sound reinforcement or mixdown application, you should take care not to use the in-place solo mode, as this will destroy the Þnal mix. To select the solo mode: 1Press and hold down the SHIFT key and press the OPTION key. 2Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows Setup. 3Press ENTER and turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows SOLO Mode. 4Press ENTER, and turn the DATA ENTRY knob to choose between the following pri- mary solo modes (the secondary solo mode is shown in parentheses): qIn-Place SOLO (PFL) qIn-Place SOLO (AFL) qPFL (In-Place Solo) qAFL (In-Place SOLO)

23 TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 9 - Effects The TM-D1000 includes high-quality digital effects. There are three types of processor, and these can be patterned together in various ways, depending on the current mode and buss function selected.The processor types are: The patterns are: Naturally, if the buss function that you have selected does not include any aux busses, but the aux/group busses are assigned as group busses, you cannot use the aux functions. See the table below for details of how the buss functions and effect patterns work together ( Y means that the effect pattern can be used 1Stereo effectorÑprovides dynamic processor, delay, chorus, pitch shifter, ßanger, phaser, de-esser and exciter facilities 2Stereo effectorÑprovides the facilities of type 1, as well as reverberation and gated reverb 3Mono dynamic processorÑmay be used for channel compansion/gating, etc. Ch Dynamics1 Up to four mono dynamic processors may be inserted into the channel signal path. L-R:Dynamics Aux1-2:Effect2 A stereo processor is inser ted into the L-R sig- nal path, and a stereo effector is available for other purposes, with Aux busses 1 and 2 acting as the sends. Aux1-2:Eff [Cascade1-2]3 The Aux 1 and 2 busses are used as effect sends to a cascaded pair of stereo effectors. Aux1-2:Eff [Cascade2-1]4 The Aux 1 and 2 busses are used as effect sends to a cascaded pair of stereo effectors, but the order of the effectors is reversed relative to the above setting. Aux1- 2:Eff[Para]5 The Aux 1 and 2 busses are used as effect sends to a pair of stereo effectors which are in parallel with each other. Aux1-2/3- 4:Effect6 The Aux 1 and 2 busses are used as effect sends to one stereo effector, and Aux 3 and 4 are used as effect sends to the second effector.

Remember that not all options may be available, depending on the buss function that is currently selected. 9.2 External effects As well as being routed to the internal effects, the aux busses can also be routed to external devices. For analog devices, the GROUP OUTPUTS/AUX SENDS should be used. If the external effectÕs returns are routed through input channels 1Ð8, equal- ization, etc. may be used on these signals. For digital devices, follow the procedure described in ÒConnecting a 2-track recorderÓ on page 14 to assign the aux busses to the digital outputs. The digital returns are assigned as described in ÒUsing digital effect returnsÓ on page 15. 9.3 Setting aux send levels Follow the procedure below to send channel signals to the AUX busses: 1Press the PARAM SEL key until the AUX indi- cator above it lights in green. 2Select the channel to be edited by pressing the CH SEL key (in the example below, the effect pattern with four separate aux sends has been chosen). 3Use the four data editing knobs under the display to change the value of the aux sends for the selected channel. 4View and change the assignments of the aux sends as pre- and post-fader sends by turning the DATA ENTRY knob clockwise: 5Use the data editing knobs under the display to change these values. 6Continue selecting channels with the CH SEL keys until you have set all the aux levels. Operating Tip To change all the aux sends from pre-fader to post-fader, go into the Option Setup sub-menu and select the All Ch Aux Pre/Post sub-menu, and then select pre-fader or post-fader for the aux sends of all channels. 9.4 Selecting the effect to use When you have set up the routing for the effects, you can select the effect units to use.

TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 26 10 - Snapshots The settings of most of the parameters can be stored as a snapshot, which may be recalled manually, or under MIDI Program Change control. Snapshots 001 through 128 are available for storing settings. Snapshot 000 is a special case, where all ÒinvisibleÓ controls (i.e. EQ, aux sends, etc. not faders or pan- pots) are reset to ÒßatÓ positions. When a snapshot is recalled, the TM-D1000 will fade from its prior values into the new snapshot val- ues over a preset time, set when the snapshot is stored. NOTE Snapshots include the current mode (REC or MIX) setting. If the TM-D1000 is currently in one mode, and a snapshot is recalled (either manually or under MIDI control) which was stored in another mode, the mixer will change modes. This will take some time, and will also produce some noise at the output jacks. It is therefore strongly recommended that you do not recall snapshots which have been stored in a mode other than the current one. 10.1 Storing a snapshot 1Make sure that the EFFECT/DYNAMICS indi- cator is not lit green. 2Press the SHIFT and ESCAPE/RECALL [STORE] keys until the screen is similar to the following: 3Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to select an area to store the snapshot (the TM-D1000 will always try to Þnd an unused area for you if possible), and press ENTER: Note that although the TM-D1000 always tries to use the Þrst available unused area, you can use the DATA ENTRY knob to change the memory area to one which has previously used (overwrit- ing the data already there), or to another area fol- lowing the Þrst unused area. 4Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to change the character above the underline cursor, and push and turn the knob to move the cursor. Repeat until you have entered the name: Operating Tip You can use the SHIFT key to toggle between uppercase and lowercase letters when enter- ing the characters for the name. 5Press ENTER to store the name: 6Adjust the time over which the TM-D1000 will fade into this snapshot when it is recalled, and press ENTER to store the snap- shot. 10.2 Recalling snapshots 1Make sure the EFFECT/DYNAMICS indicator is not lit green. 2Press the ESCAPE/RECALL key until the current snapshot name and number is shown on the top of the display, and the word RECALL is shown on the bottom: 3Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the snap- shot you want to recall is shown, and press ENTER. Operating Tip You can also use the CH SEL keys as number keys. The CH SEL keys of channels 1 through 9 enter their respective numerals, and the CH SEL key of channel 10 acts as a 0 key. The TM-D1000 fader levels will change to the new settings stored in the recalled snapshot, over the period of time as set in ÒSnapshotsÓ on page 26. S-001 STORE?

When a snapshot memory is recalled, it is almost cer- tain that the physical control settings will differ, and to make adjustments using the snapshot as a starting point, it may be necessary to adjust the faders and panpots accordingly. Operating Tip When the physical controls are used to change the settings from those memorized in the recalled snapshot, an asterisk appears by the number of the snapshot on the display: To return the controls to the snapshot values: 1Press and hold down the SHIFT key, and press the ENTER key: The numbers printed around the display (white on black) show which controls and channels cor- respond to the on-screen symbols. The top line of the display shows the positions of the panpots of the sixteen input channels, as well as the positions of the level controls of the EFFECT RETURN and AUX RETURN controls. The bottom line of the display shows the position of the sixteen input channel faders, as well as the four GROUP/AUX faders and the L-R stereo faders. 2The symbols indicate the direction in which the fader should be moved ( ž up or å down) or the rotary control should be turned ( ¸ clockwise or · counterclockwise). When the physical control matches the electronic Òvir- tualÓ control, the symbol will change to a ƒ symbol. 3If you want to see numerical values for the channel whose controls you are adjusting, press the CH SEL key for that channel: The physical control values are given in square brackets. The pan controls can be set from L50 to R50. The center position is indicated by CTR. Fader values may be set from 0to 100. To exit the ÒnullingÓ mode, enter any of the snapshot or effect recall or store screens, the location memory screens, or any of the option menus. 10.5 DIRECT RECALL Direct recall allows you to recall the Þrst 16 user snapshots, using the ESCAPE/RECALL key with the CH SEL keys. The CH SEL key of channel 1 with the ESCAPE/RECALL key recalls snapshot 001, etc. The Þrst (initial setting) snapshot 000 cannot be recalled in this way. S-001 Koto Quartet Ì RENAME?

Only the Þrst 16 user snapshots can be recalled in this way. NOTE If the Direct Recall Defeat feature is set to On (see below), this feature is not available. 10.5.1Direct recall defeat To avoid accidental recall of snapshots, the TM- D1000 provides a ÒsafetyÓ (defeat) mode. 1Press and hold down the SHIFT key and press the OPTION key to enter the Option screen. 2Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line shows System, and then press ENTER. 3Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line shows Direct Recall Defeat , and press ENTER: 4Select Yes (direct recall is enabled) or No (direct recall is disabled) by turning the DATA ENTRY knob, and press ENTER. Direct Recall Defeat Yes

29 TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 11 - MIDI Machine control The TM-D1000 can be used together with any recorder or other device that supports MIDI Machine Control commands, such as the TASCAM DA-88 with the optional SY-88 synchronizer board, the TASCAM DA-38 with the optional MMC-38, or the TASCAM DA-98, as well as the TASCAM MMR-8 and MMR-16 disk recorders. NOTE MIDI Machine Control must be implemented on your external device in order for the TMD- 1000 to control it. Not all MMC functions may be available with all units. 11.1 Connections To use the TM-D1000 with MIDI Machine Control, you have the choice of a closed-loop (where the con- trolled device is constantly informing the TM-D1000 of its status) or an open-loop system, which may be regarded as a Òcommand and forgetÓ system. You should consult the documentation of your device to discover which method is more appropriate for your system. The connections for these are made in the following way: A closed-loop system should be connected with the TM-D1000Õs MIDI OUT connected to the MIDI IN of the remote device, and the remote deviceÕs MIDI OUT connected to the TM-D1000Õs MIDI IN. An open-loop system needs the TM-D1000Õs MIDI OUT connected to the remote deviceÕs MIDI IN. To choose the software setting appropriate to your conÞguration: 1Press and hold down the SHIFT key and press the OPTION key. 2Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows MIDI, and then press ENTER: 3Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line shows MMC Communication, and press ENTER: 4Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to choose between Closed-loop and Open- loop , and press ENTER to conÞrm your choice. If you select the closed-loop option, and the MIDI setup is not correctly connected, a message will appear on the display to warn you of this. 11.1.1Setting up the device IDs Consult the documentation of the other unit for details of how to set it up for use with MIDI Machine Control, including the setting up of the MMC Device ID. To set up the TM-D1000: 1Press and hold down the SHIFT key, and press the OPTION key. 2Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows MIDI, and then press the ENTER key. 3Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows MMC Device ID , and press ENTER: 4Use the DATA ENTRY knob to set the MMC Device ID to a value between 1 and 127, and use ENTER to conÞrm your selection. 11.1.2Transport control Once the TMD-1000 and the other unit are set up, pressing and holding the SHIFT key will enable the shifted (blue) functions of the keys immediately below the TRIM controls (CH ASSIGN, EQ and DIRECT OUT). These keys work in much the same way as the stan- dard transport control keys on TASCAM equipment. If you are in any doubt as to how these work, consult the TM-D1000 Reference manual. Operating Tip You can ÒlockÓ the SHIFT key into transport control mode (similar to a SHIFT LOCK or CAPS LOCK key on a keyboard) by pressing it twice in quick succession (similar to a mouse double-click). The LOCK indicator by the SHIFT key lights to remind you of the cur- rent status.MMC Communication Closed-loop MMC Device ID 1

11 - MIDI Machine control TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 30 When the indicator is lit, the transport keys (the CH ASSIGN 1-2, 3-4 and L-R keys, the EQ key and the DIRECT OUT key) take on the assignments printed in blue below these keys, and there is no need to press the SHIFT key to use them as transport keys. However, the CH SEL (MMC LOC) and MUTE ( REC FUNCTION) keys do not use the shift lock mode. Regardless of the status of the MMC LOCK indicator, you must always hold down the SHIFT key when you need to use these keys in their shifted MMC function. ÒDouble-clickÓ the SHIFT key once more to turn off the Òshift lockÓ made earlier. 11.2 Arming tracks The MUTE keys serve another ÒshiftedÓ functionÑas track arming keys for the remote devices connected via MIDI. This function works with the SHIFT keyÑ the Òdouble-clickÓ mode is not effective here. When the appropriate tracks are armed, and the SHIFT key is held down, these indicators will ßash. When the appropriate tracks are actually recording and the SHIFT key is held down, these keys will light steadily. 11.3 Locations Up to 16 location memories can be stored in the TM- D1000. The values for these location memories are obtained from the MIDI Timecode (MTC) received at the MIDI IN connector. These locations may then be used for location of a device controlled by the TM-D1000 using MMC (as described in the previous section). 11.4 Selecting the MTC type MTC can be received in a variety of types. Select the type used by the TM-D1000 in the following way: 1Press and hold down the SHIFT key, and press the OPTION key. 2Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows MIDI, and press ENTER. 3Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bottom line of the display shows MTC Type, and press ENTER: 4Use the DATA ENTRY knob to select a time- code type: 30DF (equivalent to SMPTE, non drop-frame), 30NDF (equivalent to 30fps drop-frame, used with color NTSC video), 25F (used with EBU video) and 24F (Þlm). ConÞrm your choice with the ENTER key. 11.5 Capturing a location on the ßy The TM-D1000 can store up to 16 memory locations for recall. These 16 locations are controlled by the CH SEL keys of the 16 input channels. 1While the unit is playing or recording, press the MEMO key. The timecode received from the device will be shown on the bottom line of the display. If the timecode is being received, the display will act as a timecode monitor, showing the incoming timecode. Operating Tip Remember that some units are capable of transmitting MTC while fast winding, or even in stop or pause mode. 2Press the CH SEL key of the channel (loca- tion memory) in which you want to store the timecode value: 3The timecode value will ÒfreezeÓ and the dis- play will blink for about a second to show that the memory is being stored. NOTE If you require location to sample accuracy, you will have to rely on the devicesÕs own location facilities, if it provides them. MTC Type 29.97F MEMO Entry30DF 00h21m12s21f
