Fader layers The DM-4800 has 24 channel faders and encoders, but is capable of controlling 64 channels, in addition to the 12 master aux sends and 24 buss levels. The faders (and the encoders, when the encoders are associated with channels) are therefore arranged in layers, allowing different groups of faders to be accessed.

The first three keys are used to select the channel modules (1 through 24, 25 through 48 and 49 through 64). NOTE In the CH 49-64 mode, faders 17 through 24 are disabled. The BUSS 1-24 key selects the 24 busses. The next key selects the aux sends, and uses the first 12 faders for this purpose (faders 13 through 24 are disabled here). The faders may be used for remote DAW control, etc. in REMOTE mode. Smart keys The DM-4800 features five "smart keys": the ALT key and four "talkback" keys (DIM, MONO, TO SLATE and TO STUDIO). When the status of any of these keys is off, and the key is then pressed very briefly and released, the status of the key, as shown by the indicator, is changed to on after the key is released (latching). If the status of the key is off, and the key is pressed and held down, the status is only changed as long as the key is held down (non-latching). Note that if the status of one of these keys is on, the length of the key press makes no difference-the key status changes to off when the key is released. TASCAM DM-4800 User's Manual 19

Setting a USER screen
1
Bring up the screen to which you want to
make a shortcut,
2
Press and hold the
SHIFT
and
CTRL
keys (to
the left of the unit).
3
While holding down these keys, press one of
the
USER
keys. A popup telling you that the
screen is assigned to the user key appears.
4
Release all the keys.
Next time you press that
USER
key (without the
SHIFT

CTRL
keys), the display shows the screen
you set previously.
Fader layers
The DM-4800 has 24
channel faders and encod-
ers, but is capable of con-
trolling 64 channels, in
addition to the 12 master
aux sends and 24 buss
levels.
The faders (and the
encoders, when the
encoders are associated
with channels) are there-
fore arranged in layers,
allowing different groups
of faders to be accessed.
Use the
LAYER STATUS
keys (which light when
the appropriate layer is
active) to select these lay-
ers. These keys are
located to the right of the
master fader. When these
keys are pressed, the faders move to the appropriate
positions, reflecting the new fader layer.
The first three keys are used to select the channel
modules (1 through 24, 25 through 48 and 49
through 64).
NOTE
In the
CH 49-64
mode, faders 17 through 24 are
disabled.
The
BUSS 1-24
key selects the 24 busses.
The next key selects the aux sends, and uses the first
12 faders for this purpose (faders 13 through 24 are
disabled here).
The faders may be used for remote DAW control, etc.
in
REMOTE
mode.
Smart keys
The DM-4800 features five “smart keys”: the
ALT
key and four “talkback” keys (
DIM
,
MONO
,
TO
SLATE
and
TO STUDIO
). When the status of any of
these keys is off, and the key is then pressed very
briefly and released, the status of the key, as shown
by the indicator, is changed to on after the key is
released (latching).
If the status of the key is off, and the key is pressed
and held down, the status is only changed as long as
the key is held down (non-latching).
Note that if the status of one of these keys is on, the
length of the key press makes no difference—the key
status changes to off when the key is released.
