TASCAM X-9 Owner’s Manual 17
5 – Menus
The X-9 uses a menu system to allow various func-
tions to be enabled.
You should read through the menu section (“Menu
reference” on page 17) to find out exactly what is
possible—the X-9 may possibly do more than you
first thought, thanks to the menu system.
To use the menus:
1Press the FUNCTION key.
2Turn the DATA knob to select the menu
description (a 4-character code shown on the
display).
3Press ENTER to confirm that you want to use
this menu.
4Turn the DATA knob to change the value for
the menu.
5Some menus have only one setting. For these
menus, press ENTER to confirm the setting
and leave the menu system.
For menus with two settings (for example,
first selecting the sampler whose settings will
be changed and then changing the setting),
press ENTER to confirm the first setting.
6Turn the DATA knob to set the next value.
7Press ENTER to confirm the setting and leave
the menu system.
Typically, most menus can be performed using either
the right and left menu systems (consisting of keys,
dial and display).
The menus and the different settings you can make
are listed in “Menu reference” on page 17.
These menu controls are also used with the effects
units, as explained here (“Effects” on page 23).

How the X-9 shows characters

It’s usually fairly clear what’s being shown on the X-
9 display. However, you may want to refer to this
chart if you are not quite sure how things are being
shown:

Menu reference

The following table provides a list of the menu
options available on the X-9, together with the
parameters available and their meaning.
In this table, default (factory) settings are marked
with a *.
See “Menus” on page 17 for details of how to use the
menu system.
