3 - System-wide options The DM-24 provides a number of options which control the overall functionality of the console. These are accessed through the OPTION and DIGITAL screens. Within these screens, you can (in the OPTION screen): • Set up various interface preferences • Set up the way in which soloing works OPTION screen To access the OPTION screen: 1 Press the SHIFT key so that the indicator is lit. 2 Press the AUX 1-2/OPTION key. SETUP The following options are available from this screen: Use the § and ¶ cursor keys (or dial) to move the cursor to the appropriate fields, and then press the ENTER key to change the value. UPPER BAR DISPLAY This parameter has two options: TIMECODE and SYSTEM. When set to TIMECODE, the top right field of the display shows incoming timecode, and when set to SYSTEM, certain system parameters (clock source, solo mode, etc.) are displayed. LOCATE DISPLAY MODE This parameter deter- mines how a location entry will be shown on the display: in the timecode position (TIMECODE DISPLAY) or as a separate popup display in the center of the screen (LCD Screen Popup). • Set up timecode preferences for synchronization with other units and in the DIGITAL screen • Set up the word sync clock • Choose the digital input and output formats • Define and make settings for the optional slot cards These options are described in detail below: The screen changes to show the OPTION screen. There are four screens available using the soft keys immediately below the display: SETUP, PREFERENCES, SOLO and SYNC/TC. ENCODER OPERATION MODE When using the encoders ("Rotary encoders (ring LEDs)" on page 15), or the PODs, the parameter being edited may sometimes have too many values to allow easy setting using the encoder (for example, there are 127 different pan positions). Using the 1Step setting, one "click" of the encoders corresponds to one step in the parameter values. Using the Coarse option allows the changing of the parameter values to be accelerated, with fewer clicks of the encoder. Holding down the 2ND F. key while turning the POD or encoder reverses the usual acceleration mode (if 1Step is chosen, 2ND F. + POD/encoder = accelerated, and if Coarse is chosen, 2ND F. + POD/encoder = accelerated. LIBRARY DIRECT KEY OPERATION This parameter controls the type of library accessed by the RECALL and STORE, and the + and - keys in the LIBRARY section to the left of the screen. There are six choices: Snapshot refers to the overall mixer settings, Gate/Expand to the dynamics processor settings for gate and expander effects, Comp to the dynamics processor settings for compression effects, EQ to the equalization setting library, and Effect1 and Effect2 to the first and second internal effector settings, respectively. If the +/- Key Direct box is checked, this allows instant recall of a library entry selected using the + and - keys. OL/STATUS LED TYPE The OL/STATUS LED indicators above each fader can serve one of two purposes: firstly, if either of the two "overload" options 20 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
