2 - Basic operational concepts : Other global modifier keys Other global modifier keys There are two other global "modifier" keys which are used to add additional functions to other keys outside the key area. These are the CTRL and SHIFT keys located at the left of the top panel. These are used to change the function of certain keys located outside the screen mode selection key block as well as for other specialized functions (for example, see "Setting a USER screen" on page 19). SHIFTed keys are marked with their shifted functions written underneath in white on a blue background, and keys modified with the CTRL key have their modified labels underneath, with the lettering in blue on a white background. Figure 2.4: Global modifier keys Special controls The DM-4800 incorporates a few controls that are not found on every digital mixer and which therefore may be a little unfamiliar. The PODs The DM-4800 has four unmarked encoder/key combinations (referred to as PODs) below the display. These are the PODs, which are located immediately below the display, and the 24 encoders, located above the channel strips. The function of these pods varies according to the current screen display. Figure 2.5: POD controls Very often, in a screen with many controls displayed, the up and down cursor keys are used to move a highlighting box around the screen. These boxes highlight a maximum of four on-screen rotary controls, which are then controlled by the corresponding POD encoders (immediately below the on-screen controls). Note also the contrast control to the right of the PODs. 20 TASCAM DM-4800 User's Manual
