TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual

Viewing a list of location memories
To view a popup list of all the location memories
which have been stored:
1
Press the
SHIFT
key so that the indicator is
lit.
2
Press the
EDIT
key (now the
LIST
key as
shown by the shifted legend).
The location memory source (timecode or
MTC, or ABS) is shown, along with the value
of each location memory.
Manual location
It is also possible to enter a location point manually,
(from a cue list, for instance) and locate straight to it.
1
Press the
MANUAL
key so that the indicator
lights.
2
Use the number keys to enter a number in
hh:mm:ss
(and optionally frames) format.
3
When the
ENTER
key is pressed, the con-
trolled device starts to locate to the location
point just entered.
This location point can be stored by pressing the
MEMO
key so that the indicator flashes, followed by
pressing the
MANUAL
key again.
To locate to this point again after storing the location
point, press the
MANUAL
key, followed by the
ENTER
key.
Note that the pre-roll time (“Locate Preroll” on
page 85) does not apply here.
Repeat play
Location memories 8 and 9 (accessed with the
8
and
9
keys) are used as the start and end points of a repeat
loop that can be played by pressing the
REPEAT
key
in the transport control section.
If point 8 follows point 9, or if the distance between
the two points is very short, the behavior of the repeat
playback depends on the device being controlled.
Auto punch operations
For DTRS units, the three
AUTO PUNCH
keys:
RHSL
,
IN/OUT
and
CLEAR
are used in the same way
as the corresponding keys on the DTRS unit.
Consult the documentation for the DTRS unit for
details of how to perform punch operations.
When punch operations are taking place, the punch-
in and punch-out points may be viewed and edited in
location memories
4
and
5
respectively. When the
CLEAR
key is pressed to finish punch operations, the
original location memories (if any) are restored.
ALL INPUT and AUTO MON
The
ALL INPUT
and
AUTO MON
keys send the
appropriate commands to all devices in the list that
have the
REC
function enabled. When the function is
active, the key’s indicator lights.
If the controller does not support the function, the
indicator does not light.
If a number of controllers have had the
REC
function
selected, some of which do accept this command,
and some which do not, the indicator will not light in
the majority of cases.
DTRS devices can accept this command, as can
MMC devices. Some devices controlled using the P2
protocol can accept these commands, but some can-
not, depending on the manufacturer’s implementa-
tion of the protocol.
External control
These following notes apply to the external control
screens, etc. for some of the specific devices that may
be controlled by the DM-24.
The list of devices which are assigned to the DM-24
for control is set up in the following way:
