Kolpak DA-98 manual Advanced operations Autolocation, Setting Memo 1 and Memo 2 on the fly

8 – Advanced operations

8.1 Autolocation

The DA-98 contains two location memories, accessible through the LOC 1 and LOC 2 keys([22] and [23]). These also allow a “A ↔B repeat” facility, which allows you to rehearse part of a mixdown, for instance. These two location mem- ory points are referred to as “MEMO 1” and “MEMO 2”.

In addition to these two location memories, the DA-98 can also store 10 more location memories, which are accessed through the function keys ([9] through [13] and [18] through [22]).

As with the punch recording points (see 6.6, “Punch-in and punch-out”), it is possible to set and edit these points in a number of ways.

8.1.1Setting MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 “on the fly”

This can be done regardless of the current status of the tape transport (playing, recording, winding, stopped, or shuttle).

8.1.2Checking, editing and manually entering MEMO 1 and MEMO 2

The checking, editing, and manual entry of MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 location points are all essentially the same operation. Location points can be edited and entered to frame accuracy.

press ENTER to select the location point to edit.

3)Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to select the field you wish to edit (hours, minutes, seconds or frames) and the UP and DOWN keys to change the value.

You can reset the value of a location point field to

“00” by holding down the UP key and pressing the DOWN key (or the other way round).

There is also an “invisible” field to the right of the location value, which you can use to fine-tune the location point time, as described in 5.1.4, “Editing values”.

You can also use the function keys to enter the value directly, as described in 5.2.2, “Using the function keys as number keys”.

8.1.3 Setting the location pre-roll time

When you locate to a location memory (whether it is one of the MEMO 1/2 points or the 10 “function key” memories), the tape will stop at the memo- rized location point, minus a pre-defined pre-roll time.

As shipped, the DA-98’s default location pre-roll time is 0 seconds. You can edit this to a value between 0 seconds (the tape will locate to the
