Tascam DM-3200 owner manual Naming library entries, Options, SETUP screen

2 – Basic operational concepts : Naming library entries

The on-screen DELETE button deletes the currently- highlighted library entry.

The target project is fixed as the currently-loaded project and cannot be fixed—to copy data to a project other than the one currently loaded, you must first load the desired target project to make it active.

However, from this screen it is possible to change the currently-loaded library type (this changes the library type on both sides, of course).

Source parameters The source parameters are similar to the target parameters described above.

You can select the library type (which changes both the source and target types), as well as the banks within the source library.

Also note that you can select another project from internal memory or card from which to extract library entries and copy them over to the target library bank.

Use the POD 4 encoder to scroll through the bank.

The actual copying is done by selecting either BANK (the complete contents of the selected source bank) or FILE (the highlighted entry in the source), moving the cursor to the on-screen COPY button and pressing

ENTER.

Appropriate popup messages warn you about over- writing, failed copy operations, etc.

Also note the “fuel gauge” showing the used/free space of the CF card and the “jump button” allowing easy access to the CF card utility screen.

NOTE

Copying a whole bank overwrites the whole contents of the target bank. For example, if the target bank con- tains 99 entries, but the source bank from which the copy is made contains only one, after the copy the tar- get bank will contain one entry only.

Naming library entries

When naming library entries, projects etc., the fol- lowing method is used to enter new names, or edit existing ones. Names and memos of up to 16 charac- ters can be stored:

Figure 2.29: Setting and editing titles and memos

•Use the cursor keys to move left and right within a title.

•Use the wheel to navigate around the charac- ter palette, and press ENTER to enter the high- lighted character at the title’s cursor position.

•The character palette also contains an INSERT and a DELETE symbol. When the wheel is used to highlight these, and ENTER is pressed, a blank space is inserted, or the current charac- ter is deleted, respectively, at the title cursor position.

•Library naming screens also contain dNAME and NAMEe fields (and sometimes also contain dMEMO and MEMOe fields) which are used to transfer the stored name to the edited name or the edited name to the stored name respec- tively. Highlight the appropriate field and press ENTER to perform the copy.

•When the characters of the title have been entered, press the on-screen STORE (POD 2) to enter the name and store the library entry (or project). POD 3 (CANCEL) cancels the naming process.

Options

The OPTIONS screens allow you to set preferences to suit your working style. There are three option screens, all accessed through the OPTION key.

The SETUP and PREFERENCES screens set general parameters relating to the operation of the DM-3200, while the SOLO screen, as its name suggests, is con- cerned with solo operations.

SETUP screen

Press the OPTION key until the SETUP screen appears. Use the cursor to navigate around the checkbox and
