15 - High sampling frequency-Monitoring Monitoring The monitoring system in this mode is very similar to the normal mode: The difference is in the choice of the destinations for the oscillator and the talkback slate (there are only four aux sends available for the destination). See "Slate settings" on page 77 and "Lineup oscillator" on page 77 for further details of slate and oscillator operations. Aux sends Since there are only four aux sends, the aux send screens change. For instance, the module Aux screen is slightly "stripped down" to show only four Aux sends. Channel stereo linking When the DM-24 is in high sampling frequency mode, the channel linking screen ("Linked modules" on page 60) looks slightly different from the usual screen: When the AUX 5-6 key is pressed and the DM-24 is in high sampling frequency mode, the key has no effect. When either AUX 1-2 or AUX 3-4 is pressed, only sixteen channels are shown on screen. As can be seen here, there are only 16 channels available, and four aux sends. Links are made and unmade in the same way as in normal sampling frequency mode. TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 115
