34 MAIN CONTROL SECTION
AUTO Activates the AUTO record function. When AUTO is switched on, moni-
toring switches from disk to input at the IN time on the selected track(s)
and switches back to disk playback at the OUT point. Thus you can
rehearse the recording simply by switching AUTO on.
By pressing RECORD and PLAY before the IN point, however , the pr oject
will play up to the IN point monitoring off disk, will switch to input
and drop into record at the IN point up until the OUT point where it
will drop out of record and switch back to monitoring off disk.
Used in conjunction with the PRE/POST-ROLL function and CYCLE,
you can cycle round the IN/OUT points with the PRE-POST-ROLL off-
sets to repeatedly rehearse a take - when you ready, press
PLAY+RECORD (or the footswitch) to commit the recording.
For example, if the IN time is set to 00:01:00:00 and the OUT time is set
to 00:01:20:00, with PRE-ROLL and POST ROLL set to 5 seconds each,
with CYCLE switched on, the DPS24 will play around 00:00:55:00 to
00:01:25:00 switching monitoring/punching in/out at 00:00:01:00 and
00:01:20:00 respectively.
To hear the recording, you should switch AUTO off.
INP MON Switches selected inputs to monitor. When INPUT MONITOR is
switched off (the default), monitoring is as follows on the selected
RECORD tracks:
PLAYBACK Monitor disk
RECORD Monitor input
STOP Monitor input
Thus, when playing up to a record punch-in (manual or automatic),
you hear the track(s) selected for record playing back. At the point of
the punch-in, monitoring switches to INPUT and you will hear what
you are playing/recording. At the point of punch-out, monitoring re-
verts to disk playback. When playback is stopped, you hear the inputs.
When Jog/Shuttle mode is active (green PLAY LED lit), the DPS24 is in
Playback mode, therefore monitor is on disk tracks, not inputs.
When INPUT MONITOR is switched on, you hear the inputs through
the tracks selected for record at all times (i.e. during playback, record-
ing and when the DPS24 is stopped).
WHEEL Turns the JOG/SHUTTLE wheel on or off.
CANCEL Cancels/aborts prompt driven actions (for example, editing, deleting,
naming, scene recall, autolocate recall, etc.).
ENTER Proceeds with any prompt driven actions about to take place (for ex-
ample, editing, deleting, naming, scene recall, autolocate recall, etc.).
NOTE:
Cancel and Execute are also shown on the LCD in such circumstances. The dedicated keys are
provided for convenience when using functions such as scene and/or autolocate recall, etc., where it may not
be convenient to reach up to the LCD..
In most LCD pages, CANCEL duplicates as F1 (EXIT/CANCEL) and ENTER as F6 (OK, PROCEED, ...).
