2 - Basic operational concepts : Encoders Encoders The 24 rotary encoders at the top of each channel can perform a variety of functions, selected using the twelve keys at the right of the top panel. The current setting of the encoders can be read from the ring of indicators surrounding each encoder; as explained in "Reading the encoder indicators" on page 24 Other settings are available through the OPTION ENCODER MODE screen: Figure 2.12: Encoder functions As you can see, by using these keys, you can set the levels of channels, busses, and aux sends, even when you are not in that particular fader layer. Also, the channel aux send, dynamics processor and EQ setting modes are useful for convenient viewing and setting of a number of channel parameters at once. Flipping the encoders The FLIP key exchanges the functions of the faders and the encoders, allowing the touch-sensitive faders to be used for automating tasks that might otherwise be performed by the encoders. When this key is pressed, the faders automatically move to reflect the new values assigned to them. Figure 2.13: Setting the encoder mode Use the cursor keys to navigate around the "map" of the twelve ENCODER MODE keys, the wheel to select an assignment for the selected key, and the ENTER key to complete the assignment. TIP You may find that the preferences described in "Encoder Mode Follows Current Screen" on page 44 and "Current Screen Follows Encoder Mode" on page 44 make life easier when you are working with the encoders. TIP When setting up a cue mix on aux sends 1 and 2, for example, you can use the faders for this, while still keeping an eye on the main level settings (on the encoders). 22 TASCAM DM-4800 User's Manual
