[. . . ] » TM-D4000 Digital Mixing Console OWNER'S MANUAL 9101413400 Important Safety Precautions Ü ÿ Y This appliance has a serial number located on the rear panel. Please record the model number and serial number and retain them for your records. Model number Serial number CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. . The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. For U. S. A TO THE USER This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. [. . . ] Press the ENTER key to transfer the name of the currently-selected list entry to the name editing area on the right of the screen. 9 5 When the name has been edited, turn the SHUTTLE wheel clockwise so that the center portion of the screen controls the list scrolling functions. Use the JOG dial to select the library entry into which the edited name will be stored. The edited name will now overwrite the current name (if any) of the highlighted library entry. 10 11 NOTE This procedure does not transfer the snapshot itself; only the name of the snapshot library entry. To recall the snapshot of the currently-selected list entry, use the on-screen RECALL button, or the hardware RECALL key. 6 Turn the SHUTTLE wheel counterclockwise to change the function of the center lower portion of the screen to name editing: NOTE This does not overwrite the snapshot data in the library entry, only the name of the library entry. Use the on-screen STORE button or the hardware STORE key to store snapshot data. 8. 1. 6 MIDI dumping and loading of snapshot library entries Snapshot data (except for snapshot 00) can be transmitted to MIDI devices such as sequencers, data filers, etc. allowing mixer settings to be stored alongside MIDI sequences, or simply as a convenient offline storage method. 8­3 8 - Library functions--Other libraries 1 Press the MIDI/MC key [5] until the BULK screen appears: transmitted, the popup message changes to the following: Restoring snapshot data from a MIDI bulk data transfer is carried out in the following way: 1 2 Move the cursor to the SNAPSHOT checkbox, and press ENTER. Note that the other libraries can also have their data dumped and loaded together with the snapshot library entries (i. e. Use the JOG dial to scroll through the list of options: ALL snapshot library entries, the current settings (Current Data), or an individual snapshot library entry, from 01 to 60 (Library01 ­ Library60). Make sure that MIDI is selected as the Communication Speed in the Automation Setup screen. Make sure that the MIDI channel is set to be the same as the MIDI channel when the dump was made from the TM-D4000 (if this is not known, the OMNI ON function can be turned on). Start the transfer of the System Exclusive data from the MIDI device. 2 3 3 4 5 Make any preparations on the receiving device so that the bulk dump data can be received successfully. Move the cursor to the BULK DUMP button, and press ENTER to start the bulk dump. As the data is being transmitted, the following popup "bargraph" appears, to indicate the progress of the operation: NOTE If the transfer is interrupted, the TM-D4000 may be left in a "random" state. Either make the data transfer again, allowing it to complete, or turn the TM-D4000 off, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again. It is strongly advised that the TM-D4000 controls are not moved during a dump process, either in or out), as this may affect the successful trasnmission of data. Also note that after a dump transmission, if the faders have accidentally been moved during the transmission, they will return to their original (predump) position as soon as the dump is ended. The format of the MIDI System Exclusive bulk dump data is given in the section on MIDI. Note that pressing a cursor key will stop the operation. After the MIDI data has been 8. 2 Other libraries The other libraries: EQ, dynamics processor and effect processor, are very similar to each other in the methods used for storing and recall of library entries. 8­4 8 - Library functions--Other libraries There are no dedicated hardware STORE and RECALL keys, and no dedicated keys for incrementing and decrementing the current library entry number. Instead, the three library keys: EFFECT, EQ and DYNAMICS are used to bring up the appropriate library management screens. "Processor input mode" and 7. 1. 4, "Effect processor return". The EQ library management screen shows the equalization curve above the list of the currently-highlighted library entry. The equalization curve for the currently-selected module is displayed at the upper left of the screen. The equalization for the module can be turned on and off in this screen, using the EQ key to the right of the display screen above the buss assignment keys [18], and the current on/off status is shown at the top right of the screen. The dynamics processor library management screen shows the dynamic gain response above the list of the currently-highlighted library entry. The dynamic gain response of the dynamics processor for the currentlyselected module is displayed at the upper left of the screen. At the top right of the screen, a button allows the enabling or bypassing of the processor using the DYNAMICS key to the right of the display screen [19]. By moving the cursor to the on-screen LINK button, and pressing ENTER, the processor can be linked or unlinked to or from the adjacent processor (see the explanation of the DYNAMICS key [11] for an explanation of processor linking). [. . . ] effects, EQ, auxiliary send levels, fader levels, stereo links, all of it!Use the - and + keys in the LIBRARY section to select an empty snapshot location in the upper left corner of the LCD. An empty location is indicated by a number with an empty bar where a name would be. To name your snapshots or to more visually scroll through them, press the SNAPSHOT button in the LIBRARY section.
