DA-6400/DA-6400dp Examples: Recording file names for cascade master unit T001_TASCAM_M_001_01.wav T001_TASCAM_M_001_02.wav : T001_TASCAM_M_001_63.wav T001_TASCAM_M_001_64.wav Recording file names for cascade slave unit T001_TASCAM_S1_001_01.wav T001_TASCAM_S1_001_02.wav : T001_TASCAM_S1_001_63.wav T001_TASCAM_S1_001_64.wav Attention If a take that has the name specified by the cascade master device already exists on the cascade slave device when recording starts, an "A" will be added to the characters that show the cascade ID in the name of the take recorded (e.g. T001_TASCAM_S1A_001). Be aware that since takes are selected for cascade playback by take name, the intended take will not be played back if this take is selected. Example when the FILE NAME setting is USER WORD "TASCAM" Cascade master device Cascade slave device Before recording No take T001_TASCAM_S1_001 Start of recording T001_TASCAM_M_001 Since a take named "T001_TASCAM_S1_001" already exists, the name "T001_TASCAM_S1A_001" will be used for recording After recording T001_TASCAM_M_001 T001_TASCAM_S1_001 T001_TASCAM_S1A_001 Playback Cascade playback will play T001_TASCAM_M_001 and T001_TASCAM_S1_001 Current Folder during Cascade operation 00Cascade slave's current folder will be the same name as the current folder on the Cascade Master. If a folder with the same name does not exist on the slave, it will be created automatically. 00If a new folder is created on the Master, a folder of the same name is also created on the slave. 00If a folder is loaded on the Master, the slave will automatically load the folder with the same name. Limitations 00To operate the Cascaded devices together, use the transport controls* on the Master. If the transport controls on a Cascade slave are operated, that unit will operate independently. * Transport operation using the buttons on the front of the unit, RS-422, NETWORK (including TASCAM DA-6400 Control) or PARALLEL control, or a USB keyboard 00When the following settings are made on the cascade master, the cascade slave unit will be set the same way. The following settings cannot be changed on a cascade slave unit during cascade connection. oo REC FUNCTION, ALL ON and ALL OFF settings on the REC FILE FORMAT menu page (channel settings can be set for each unit individually when Individual) oo REC FILE FORMAT menu page BIT LENGTH setting oo REC FILE FORMAT menu page REC Fs setting oo REC OPTIONS menu page AUTO FILE INCREMENT, PAUSE MODE setting oo PLAY SETUP menu page PLAY MODE, REPEAT MODE, THEATER PLAY and AUTO READY settings 00The file name recorded on the cascade slave does not depend on the cascade slave device's FILE NAME setting, it uses the file name provided by the cascade master device. 00The Timestamp recorded into files on a cascade slave device does not depend on the cascade slave device's Timecode Settings, it is always received directly from the cascade master device. 00The cascade slave device always plays back the take that matches the cascade master devices take, regardless of the cascade slave devices's PLAY SETUP menu settings. 00When cascaded, Folders cannot be deleted or renamed on cascade slave devices. Disable cascade before attempting to delete or rename folders. 00This unit does not have a function that mixes the monitoring output of the cascade units. The channels selected on each unit will be output from their own PHONES jacks for monitoring. 00When in Playlist Mode, CASCADE MODE cannot be set to ON. 00If CASCADE MODE is ON when a playlist is loaded and Playlist Mode is activated, CASCADE MODE will automatically turn OFF. 00When CASCADE MODE is ON, CHASE MODE cannot be turned ON.
