11 - MIDI Machine control 31 TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 11.6 Locating to a memory position Locating to a memory position is done by holding down the SHIFT key and pressing the CH SEL key of the channel (location memory) to which you will be locating. 11.7 Editing a memory location 1Press the MEMO key so that the display shows MEMO Edit on the top line. NOTE If MIDI Timecode is currently being received at the MIDI IN jack, you must press the MEMO key twice to obtain the MEMO Edit mes- sage. If MIDI Timecode is not being received, you only need to press the MEMO key once. 2Press the CH SEL key of the memory location you want to edit. A memory location which has not been used (no value has been captured for it) will show 00h00m00s00f as the location value. 3Push and turn the DATA ENTRY knob to move the cursor. 4Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to set the values of the Þeld highlighted by the cursor. Operating Tip You can also use the CH SEL keys here 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. 5After checking that the new values are cor- rect, press the ENTER key to conÞrm your setting.
TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 32 12 - MIDI control of the TM-D1000 Snapshot changes may be carried out from a MIDI controller as Program Change messages. In addition, the two effect units and the four channel dynamic processor components of the TM-D1000 may also be set up to respond to Program Change messages, each on their own channel, if desired. 12.1 Setting Program Change receive channels 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 Ch Select , and press ENTER: 3Set the value to defeat, or a MIDI chan- nel from 1 through 16. 4Push the DATA ENTRY knob to cycle through: Mixer, Effect1, Effect2, Ch Dynamics1, Ch Dynamics2 , Ch Dynamics3 and Ch Dynamics4. For components other then the Mixer, the MIDI channel is used for Control Change and Program Change messages. The channels set for the Mixer component refer only to Program Change messages, not to Control Change mes- sages. Note that there is no Omni settingÑa component may respond to messages on one channel only or none at all. 12.2 Enabling and disabling parameter changes Parameter changes of the TM-D1000 can be trans- mitted over MIDI from a sequencer or sequencing program, and used to control the settings. These parameter changes may be disabled when either the REC and/or the MIX user mode is selected: 1Press and hold down the ENTER 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 Control Change Defeat , and press ENTER: 4Use the DATA ENTRY knob to change between Yes and No. Press ENTER to con- Þrm your selection. Remember that a setting of Yes means that the Control Change is disabled for this mode. 12.3 Recording parameter changes Parameter changes may be recorded in real time from mix moves on the TM-D1000, or produced from any other MIDI controller, and edited before being replayed by a sequencer. The MIDI channels used for Control Change mes- sages are different from those used for Program Change messages. Input channels 1 through 16 use MIDI channels 1 through 16 respectively. In addi- tion, channels 9 through 16 Òdouble upÓ in the fol- lowing way: A brief summary of the controller numbers assigned to each channel is given here (more details are avail- able in the Reference Manual): MIDI Ch Select Ì Mixer Ch: 1 ?

TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 34 13 - Options A number of options are available for the TM- D1000, as described here. 13.1 RM-D1000 rack mounting kit The RM-D1000 rack mounting kit allows the TM- D1000 to be mounted in 6U of rack space (in addi- tion to space needed at the top for the connectors). You should also ensure that the rack is well-venti- lated, allowing air to circulate for cooling the heat sink of the TM-D1000. 1The wristpad below the faders should be unscrewed before mounting the TM-D1000 in a rack. 2Attach the two rack mounts to the TM- D1000 using the Þve screws (provided) on each mount. 3Fit the TM-D1000 into the rack, allowing enough space at the top for cables to be Þtted to the connectors. 13.2 IF-TD1000 Digital Input Kit This kit provides two more sets of digital inputs (XLR and RCA), capable of receiving AES/EBU or SPDIF format, as well as another TDIF-1 connector, for another eight channels of DTRS-compatible audio. WARNING This kit requires internal connections to the TM-D1000. For this reason, you should not install the kit yourself, but should refer instal- lation to a qualiÞed TASCAM distributor. The digital inputs are labeled B and C. Digital input B is available as an extra option in the following menus where input A is available: ¥ Setup à Digital Input ¥Setup à Aux Rtn Input/ Assign ¥Setup à Eff Return Input/Assign Digital input C is treated differently, on account of the frequency conversion facility built into digital input C. An additional menu is available when the IF- TD1000 Digital I/O Board is Þtted, which allows input channels 7 and 8 to be assigned to digital input C or to the analog inputs, for all menus using these inputs. This sub-menu is available from the Setup options, and appears as follows: Use the data entry knob to choose between Digital In C and Analog. As well as the additional stereo digital inputs, the IF- TD1000 Digital I/O Board also provides another TDIF-1 connector (TDIF-1 B). This set of 8 channels is available for use by the input channels, as set in the following menus: ¥ Setup à Ch1-8 Input ¥Setup à Ch9-16 Input ¥System à TDIF-1 A/B Word Length The routing of group busses to the second TDIF-1 channel follows the pattern of the routing to the Þrst channel (i.e. if groups 1 & 2 are routed to TDIF-1 A Ch7-8 Route1 Target Digital I n C ?
13 - Options 35 TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual channels 1 + 2 and 5 + 6, they will also be routed to the TDIF-1 B channels with the same numbers. If input channels are routed using the DIRECT OUT function, and the IF-TD1000 Digital I/O board is Þt- ted, the input channels will be output to the TDIF-1 B connector. It may also be selected to be output in parallel to both TDIF-1 connectors ( A and B) by selecting input channels 1Ð8 as the source for TDIF- 1 A. 13.3 FX-D1000 Effect Board The FX-D1000 Effect Board provides an additional set of effect processors, doubling the capacity of the TM-D1000Õs internal processor capability.Effect patterns are still subject to the same restric- tions as regards groups and aux busses (i.e. if there are no aux busses, no aux sends are possible). However, the FX-D1000 Effect Board provides you with much more power and ßexibility in the way that you use the internal effect system of the TM-D1000. WARNING This board requires internal connections to the TM-D1000. For this reason, you should not install the board yourself, but should refer installation to a qualiÞed TASCAM distributor.
TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual 36 14 - Miscellaneous functions These functions help you with various settings of the TM-D1000. 14.1 Footswitch (REMOTE CONT) The footswitch connected to the rear of the TM- D1000 can be used to step through the snapshot memories, either forwards or backwards. It can also be used to perform punch-in and punch-out opera- tions on the unit controlled via MMC. 1Press and hold down the SHIFT key, and press the OPTION key. 2Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bot- tom line of the display shows System, and press ENTER. 3Turn the DATA ENTRY knob until the bot- tom line of the display shows REMOTE CONT Function , and press ENTER: 4Turn the DATA ENTRY KNOB to choose between SNAPSHOT Change [ up ] , SNAPSHOT Change [down] and Remote Punch In/Out . Press ENTER to conÞrm your setting. NOTE Always use a TASCAM RC-30P footswitch or equivalent. If you are in any doubt as to the kind of footswitch you should use, contact your TASCAM dealer. 14.2 Meter settings The ÒfallÓ time of the meter, as well as the peak hold time, can be set from the System menu. Option à System à Meter Adjust 1Use the DATA ENTRY knob to choose between 30 ms, 60 ms and 90 ms. 2Push the DATA ENTRY knob to enter the Peak Hold Time screen: 3Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to adjust the peak hold time between 0.0 seconds and 1.0 seconds in 100 ms steps. NOTE These meter settings are only effective when digital signals only are being monitored (i.e. the EXT IN switch is not pressedÑsee 8.1.1, EXT IN). 14.3 LCD contrast As well as the method of adjusting the LCD contrast described on page 6, you can also use the menu system: Option à System à LCD Contrast Turn the DATA ENTRY knob to adjust the screen contrast until it is at a comfortable viewing angle. 14.4 Battery levels The lithium batteries in the TM-D1000 provide backup for your settings and should last for a number of years before they need to be replaced. However, as with all batteries, there is a possibility that they may start to leak after about three years, even if the voltage is within permissible limits. We therefore suggest changing the battery every three years or thereabouts. NOTE If the battery drops below the critical level, the display will show: REMOTE CONT Function SNAPSHOT Change[ up ] Meter Adjust Ì Release Time:30ms Meter Adjust Ì Peak Hold Time:0.0s LCD Contrast >>>>>>>>ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ
14 - Miscellaneous functions 37 TASCAM TM-D1000 Operations Manual Have the battery replaced by your TASCAM distributor. Do not attempt to replace the bat- tery by yourself. You can also check the current battery level using the following procedure: Option Monitor à System à Battery Check If the displayed value falls below 2.7 volts, it is time to consider replacing the battery. We also, as noted above, suggest that you have the battery replaced every three years or so, in order to avoid possible damage caused to the TM-D1000 by battery leakage.
