3 - System-wide options-OPTION screen For example, if this option is active, and SEL 2 key is lit with fader layer 1-16 active, fader layer 17-32 is then selected, SEL key 3 (channel 19) is selected, and then fader layer 1-16 is then re-selected, SEL key 2 will be active. If the option is not active, any SEL key which is lit remains lit when the fader layer is changed. For example, if this option is not selected, and SEL key 2 is lit with fader layer 1-16 active, and fader layer 17-24 is then selected, SEL key 2 will still be lit (that is, channel 18). Meter Follows SEL key When this option is checked, the meter layer automatically changes when the appropriate SEL key is pressed (see "Meters and faders" on page 77). The modes are as follows: Fader layer CH 1-16 CH 17-32 MASTER SEL keys Meter layer CH 1-16 CH 1-24 CH 17-24 CH 1-24 CH 25-32 MASTER/CH 25-32 Buss 1-8/Aux1-6/Stereo MASTER/CH 25-32 Automation fader OFF When this option is active (checked), in automation mode, when the automated mix is being read (played back), the faders do not move. Cursor follows EQ Band Key When the option is enabled and modules are being edited, and any of the EQ band keys (HI, HI MID, LOW MID or LOW) is pressed, the box cursor surrounding the active on-screen controls will move to highlight the active band. SOLO The solo modes on the DM-24 can be set up in a number of different ways using this screen: FLASH Info. This on-screen button allows you to see how many times the flash memory used for storing library entries, etc. has been used (written to). Moving the cursor to this on-screen button and pressing ENTER brings up a pop-up panel showing the number of times that the flash memory locations have been used. Pressing ENTER again allows you to view the automation memory area usage. Dismiss this pop-up by pressing ENTER once more. If any flash memory location has been written to too many times in the life of the unit, a popup message will automatically appear to alert you of this fact. You should then contact your TASCAM dealer for service. Version Info. For service, etc. it is useful to know the software version numbers of the different components. Moving the cursor to this on-screen button and pressing ENTER brings up a pop-up panel with the software version numbers of the different components (including the internal effector units). Press ENTER to dismiss this panel. Battery Check This is a "read-only" display. It shows the current voltage and the status of the DM-24's internal battery. If the battery voltage falls below a certain level, or is reported as being above a certain level, this display blinks, and the screen shows Can't Save System Data, together with the out-of-range voltage. Consult your TASCAM distributor if you see this message. MODE SELECT Either Mix Solo or Exclusive Solo can be selected here. The Mix Solo mode allows a number of channels (that is, all whose MUTE keys are lit in solo mode) to have their outputs added together to the solo mix. The Exclusive Solo mode only allows one channel (the one whose MUTE key was pressed last) to be soloed at one time. SOLO LINK This option allows the fader and mute groups to be used with the solo function. This is explained more fully in the solo part of the section describing monitoring (see "SOLO LINK" on page 75). Briefly, if one of the group options (MUTE GROUP or FADER GROUP) is enabled, selecting a group master module solos or unsolos the whole of the group. If a group slave module is selected, the solo status of only that slave module is affected. 22 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
