A popup window confirming the recall operation will appear.

The selected setting will be recalled and the compres- sor type and parameters will change accordingly. Repeat steps 6–8 as necessary to select various presets until you find one that best suits your application.

9 Use Selected Channel knob 1 to change the overall effect of the compressor.

When the knob is operated the DYNAMICS screen Comp Edit page will appear. If Selected Channel knob 1 is operated while the [DYN] key is engaged, multi- ple compressor parameters are adjusted simulta- neously to change the overall effect of the compressor (the actual change will depend on the preset selected from the library).

NOTE

•If a Selected Channel knob is operated while the AUTO DIS- PLAY function is OFF, rather than the display switching to the Comp Edit page a popup window containing the relevant parameters will appear. For details about the AUTO DISPLAY function refer to “AW2400 Preferences” on page 210.

The metronome will be turned on. In this state the metronome will sound during recording and playback.

3 The metronome will begin sounding when the PLAY [] key is pressed to begin play- back.

Move the cursor to the metronome knob and use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/[DEC] keys to adjust the metronome level as required.

4 To change the tempo or time signature, first press the STOP [■] key to stop the recorder. Call the EDIT screen Tempo Map page by either pressing the Work Navigate section [EDIT] key as many times as neces- sary, or by pressing the [F2] key after pressing the [EDIT] key.

The Tempo Map page lets you create a tempo map that specifies the tempo and time signature of the song. The tempo and time signature that you specify here will be the basis for the measure/beat display counter, the internal metronome, and the MTC (MIDI Time Code) transmitted and received by the AW2400.
