7 - Recorder Functions Direct Location Function You can specify a time or measure/beat to be located without using marks. On the Home screen, use the JOG/ DATA dial to specify the location point. The Home screen counter has two display types: ABS (absolute time) and BAR (bar/beat). The BAR display is based on the metronome setting. In BAR mode, you can locate a position in beat units. The current position of the recorder is shown as a time (measure-beat) at the top of the Home screen. The tempo is also displayed. The ABS display is based on the absolute time. In ABS mode, you can locate a position in frame units. The current position of the recorder is shown as a time (hours : minutes : seconds) on the top of the Home screen (30 frames per second). You can specify a time in this time display area and move the current position of the recorder. Locating directly a specified time In ABS mode, you can locate a specified time directly through the following two methods. This direct location cannot be performed by this method during recording. 1. Press the HOME button to open the Home screen. 2. ABS is displayed on the left side of the counter of the Home screen. If it is not displayed, press the METRONOME button to open the METRONOME screen. Use the CURSOR (5 /b) buttons to select BAR DISP item of the METRONOME screen, and then use the JOG/DATA dial to set it to OFF, which will cause ABS to appear. 3. Turn the JOG/DATA dial to change the time (the time advance speed changes according to the speed of turning the dial). 4. After setting the desired time value, press the PLAY (7) button which will cause the playback to start. Locating directly a specified measure/ beat Like the time specification location in ABS mode, you can locate a position by specifying a music point in BAR mode. You can perform the direct location of a preset point through the procedure below. This direct location cannot be performed by this procedure during recording. 1. Press the HOME button to open the Home screen. 2. BAR is displayed on the left side of the counter of the Home screen. If it is not displayed, press the METRONOME button to open the METRONOME screen. Use the CURSOR (5 /b) buttons to select the BAR DISP item of the METRONOME screen, and then use the JOG/DATA dial to set it to ON, which will cause BAR to appear. 3. The value wraps automatically when it reaches the highest or lowest value in a field. When set to 4/4 and the beat field exceeds 04, for example, the bar value will increase by one, and the beat field will return to 01. In the same way, when you turn the JOG/DATA dial to lower a value and passes through 01, the bar value will decrease and the total value will change in succession. When set to 4/4, for example, if the value drops below 01 when the cursor is located under the beat field, the bar value will decrease by one, and the beat field will return to 04. 4. After setting the desired measure/beat, press the PLAY (7) button which will cause the playback to start. Location marks This unit allows you to set up to 99 location marks in each song. For example, you can mark the intro, vocal entry points, start of verses, etc. Setting a location mark When stopped, during recording or playback, press the MARK SET button at the point where you want the location mark. A mark number (MARK xx) appears on the Home screen (xx is the mark No.). The displayed mark No. indicates the current position mark or the mark immediately before. A flag icon is also displayed above the timeline. NOTE The marks are numbered in the order you enter them. The marks do not appear according to their position in the song. Therefore, MARK 05 can appear before MARK 01 in a song. 54 TASCAM DP-24
