Tascam DA-40 owner manual Edit key, Location memories, Locating to location memories

You can start the tape’s program numbers from a value different from 01 by turning the DATA dial. The program number selected with the DATA dial will flash (the flashing will continue for five seconds).

Confirm the flashing program number with the ENTER key. If you press ENTER after the program number has stopped flashing, renumbering will start from 01.

The tape will rewind to the first START ID, and rewrite the ID in the same location as previously, but with the number selected above.

When this is done, the number at the right of the dis- play will change to the number which is one greater than the starting program number, and the tape will move forward to the next START ID and renumber it in the same way.

While a START ID is being rewritten, the word RENUM will flash in the display, and the PLAY and RECORD indicators will light.

If the current START ID already has a number, this will be shown to the left of the # mark on the display:

PNO

0 0H 2 3M 1 7s0 2 # 0 3

If the current START ID is unnumbered, this is repre- sented by a pair of dashes in the PNO location on the display.

All program titles are retained during the renumber- ing process.

The renumbering process continues until the end of the tape or an END ID is reached.

NOTE

Valid program numbers are from 01 to 99. If the above procedure is used to select a pro- gam number at the high end of the range, and the renumbering increments a program num- ber above 99, the number will “wrap” to 00. The number 00 can cause problems when searching and locating, and this should be remembered when setting program numbers.

4.5 The EDIT key

The EDIT key (SHIFTed MENU [27]) allows the following operations to the performed:

4 - SHIFT functions

•Editing of the first memory location

•Editing of the second memory location

•Editing of a programmed sequence of programs for subsequent playback

•Editing of a string of characters to be used as a tape or program title

•Writing a string of characters to tape

Repeated presses of EDIT will cycle through these options.

To exit the EDIT mode, press COUNTER MODE or DISPLAY (as with all SHIFTed modes, pressing the SHIFT key so that the SHIFT indicator goes out will exit the SHIFT mode).

The ENTER key is used to select the operation.

4.6 Location memories

4.6.1 Locating to location memories

Once a memory location has been set, as explained below, use the LOC 1 and LOC 2 keys to locate to the memory location points (as explained in LOC 1

[28]).

4.6.2 Setting location memories

Press the MEMO 1 or MEMO 2 key. The current location will be stored to frame accuracy, regardless of whether or not the frame display mode is currently in operation, in memory location 1 or 2 as appropriate.

4.6.3 Editing location memories

Press EDIT until the display shows either M1? or M2? at the right, together with the location value stored in that location memory.

0 0H 2 8M 5 3S 2 9 M 1 ?

Press ENTER to start editing the location memory. The word Edit will appear at the right of the dis- play, and the right digit of the frames field will start to flash.

00H 2 8M 5 3S 2 9 E d i t

Use the SHUTTLE wheel to move the cursor (flash- ing digits) between the frames, seconds, minutes and hours fields.

Use the INS/+ and DEL/- keys and the DATA dial to increment or decrement the flashing value field.
