The display will show the level and pan posi-
tion of the channel. For example, L. 02. P -C-
would indicate a level of 102 and a center pan
position.
3Use the ▲ and ▼ keys and/or the knob to
change the level of the active channel.
4To change the level of another channel, press
that channel’s REC FUNCTION key.
The meters may be used to show the value of
the channel levels (the default is for this func-
tion to be on, and it may be toggled with the
SHIFT+REC FUNCTIO N combination).
5Press the
LEVEL/PAN key or the REC
FUNCTION key of the currently active channel
to change the cursor (flashing period) to the
pan setting.
Pan values range from P. L--
(P.L - - hard left) through P. L62
(immediately to the right of the
hard left setti n g) , P. -C- (P.-C - —
center) and P. R62 (P.R 6 2 —
almost hard right) to P. --R
(P.--R—hard r ight).
The meters are also be used to
show the pan settings. Press
SHIFT and one of the REC
FUNCTION keys ( as descr ibed in
4.1.1, “Peak meters”) to toggle this meter mode off
and on. The default at power-on is for this mode to be
on.
6Use the ▲ and ▼ keys and/or the knob to
adjust the pan se ttin g s of the acti v e cha nn el .

7.4.5 Setting the sub-mix er input

sources

1From the pan setting, as described immedi-
ately above, press either the REC FUNCTION
key of the active channel , or the LEVEL/PAN
key.
2The display will show the current input source
for the channel, e.g. In 1 t1 (In 1 t1—the
input source for channel 1 is track 1).
3Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to cycle through t1
through t8 (track 1 through 8), a1 through
a8 (analog inputs 1 through 8) and d1
through d8 (digital inputs 1 through 8).
4Pressing the ▲ and ▼ keys together will “nor-
malize” the sub-mixer, feeding each channel
with the output of the correspondingly-num-
bered track.
NOTE
The s e assign ments are tem porar y, an d rema in onl y
as long as the mixdown mode is enabled. When the
mixdown mode is disabled, the previous input patch-
bay settings are restored.
5To record the mixer outputs onto tracks 7 and
8, arm these tracks and record in the usual
way.
7.5 Crossfade times
As menti on e d ea rl ie r (5.6, “ Punch-i n and punch-
out”), digital punch recording requires that the origi-
nal a nd new signa l be cross faded ove r a short perio d
of time.
The factory default crossfade time for the DA-78HR
is 10 ms, and this can be adjusted in 10 millisecond
steps to a maxi mu m of 200 ms.
For the most part, 10 ms is an adequate value and
will produce sea ml es s pu nc h e s , bu t t here may be
times (matching reverb settings, etc.) when a longer
crossfade is required.
1Press the SHIFT key s o that the SHIFT indicator
is flashing, and press the MENU key until the
display show s AUDIO. 2-- (AUDIO2--).
2Press the S UB MENU key until the display
shows C. FADE;;; (C FADE xxx), where xxx
is the current crossfade time in milliseconds.
3Use the ▲ and ▼ key s to ad just th e cros sfad e
time ( 10 thro u gh 20 0 ms in 1 0 ms ste ps)
7.6 Vari speed (pitch control)
The speed of recording and playback (and hence the
pitch) of the DA-78HR can be adjusted to 6% above
or bel ow norma l speed in 0.1% step s.
NOTE
You cannot operate the pitch control when the DA-
78HR is slaved to another unit, or synchronized to an
external word clock. If the clock is changed to exter-
nal while varispeed is on, the
VARI SPEED
indicator
will go out. The indicator will also go ou t if chasing is
enabl ed whi le vari s peed is on.
