TASCAM DM-24 Installation and Use v 2.0 Manual Addendum - Page 16

DM-24 version 2.0-Release notes-External machine control Snapshot recall When a snapshot is recalled, MIDI Control Change messages are output, which correspond to the new settings of the following: • Faders • Mute status • Pan controls External machine control Play (MMC) When operating an external device controlled by an open MMC loop, the command sent when the PLAY key is pressed may now be selected between Deferred Play and True Play. As a result, it is now possible to use the PLAY key to control a number of DAW applications and HDR machines using an open MMC connection. Additionally, when a snapshot is recalled using MIDI, that snapshot is now shown as the current snapshot in all screens. Transport Lock Pressing the 2ND F. and STOP keys together locks the transport keys. This is useful to stop accidental playback or recording when you are leaning over the DM-24 adjusting parameters. Track arming On the MIDI/MC SETUP page, there is a new parameter at the top right of the MACHINE CONTROL section (RecFn). Set this to either TRUE(40h) or MASKED(41h). Previously, only the TRUE(40h) command was used, but units such as the Mackie HDR-24/96 and MDR-24/ 96 require the MASKED(41h) setting. The DM-24 is now fully compatible with the Mackie recorder family. Press this key combination again to unlock the transport keys. The popup changes Internal MIDI Time Code generator The DM-24 now has its own generator, which can be used with DAWs, etc. which do not respond to MMC commands. By slaving them to MTC from the DM24, you can use the transport keys of the DM-24 to control these DAWs. 16 TASCAM DM-24 2.0 release notes
