DPS24 MODES 49

DPS24 MODES
Running below the LCD are the DPS24's 'mode' keys:
These are:
MAIN SCREEN
This is the main operating screen that one normally works in. It shows meters
for all mixer channels and an overview of the active project, as well as cur-
rent Project setup information (Sample rate, Bit depth, Frame rate).
Its SHIFT function shows an enlarged project display , GRID.
EDIT
Allows you to edit audio with functions such as copy, cut, paste, etc..
Audio Import/Export functions are also available from the EDIT mode.
Its SHIFT function gives access to the DPS24's off-line DSP functions such
as timestretch, pitch shift, etc..
MIXER Allows access to mixer and channel views, as well as mixer Solo and FX/
Aux setup.
Its SHIFT function shows the PATCH pages where you may route signals
within the DPS24 (although most of this can be achieved directly from the
front panel).
AUTOMATE
Allows you to set mixer automation functions.
FX
Takes you to the effects pages where you may select and edit the DPS24's
internal effects.
PROJECT
Allows you to load, create, copy, backup/restore, delete or rename projects.
Its SHIFT function gives access to the 'Virtual Tracks' function.
SETUP
Allows you to set global parameters such as timecode and digital sync op-
tions, preferences, etc., that affect the DPS24 as a whole.
Its SHIFT function allows access to the CD-R functions for backing up to,
mastering to and playing back from the (optional) CD-R.
One powerful aspect of the DPS24's operation is that you do not have to stop playback (or
whatever else you may be doing) to access the different modes or other functions on the unit.
Thus, you can be recording and perhaps during record, switch to AUTOMATE mode to set
some automation parameters up in advance. You could be playing back and switch to EDIT
mode to start editing tracks. Similarly, you can be playing back and enable the Q-Channel to
tweak a channel's EQ whilst at the same time, switching to the FX mode to set effects.
In other words, the DPS24's operating system need not get in the way of your creative flow
forcing you to stop what you are doing in order to do something else.
