TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual

Each of these libraries must use a separate MIDI
channel. A popup message is displayed if an attempt

is made to assign the same MIDI channel to more
than one library.

Program Change values

This setting allows a given Program Change number
to be associated with a particular library entry. This
means that there does not have to be an exact match
between, say, a particular synthesizer patch number
and number of the effect setting that you always use
with that patch.

These settings are made at the bottom left of the
screen. The three libraries mentioned above (snap-
shot and the two internal effects libraries) may have
these settings made. The method is identical for each
library.

1

Move the cursor to the library table to be
edited (

MIXER

for snapshots,

EFF1

for effector

1, and

EFF2

for effector 2).

2

Press

ENTER

.

3

Use POD 3 to select the MIDI Program
change number.

4

Use POD 4 to select the library entry to be
associated with the program change.

Continue this process until the library Program
Change table is set up as you want.

General MIDI parameters

The following parameters may be set (consult a gen-
eral reference work on MIDI if you are unsure of the
operation of some of these MIDI functions):

MIDI OUT Active Sensing

This turns the

Active Sensing output from the DM-24 on and off.

OUTPUT MTC when slaved

This controls

whether the DM-24 will output MTC as an echo of

the input timecode when it is acting as a timecode
slave.

RESET (ffh)

This controls the action to be taken

when a MIDI Reset message is received. The DM-24
can be either set to ignore all Reset requests, or when
a Reset is received, to pop up a panel on the display
informing the user asking if the Reset request is to be
honored or ignored.

MIDI filtering

The following types of MIDI messages can be set to
be accepted or ignored by the DM-24 on input and/or
output: Control Change messages, Program Change
messages, System Exclusive (

SysEx

) messages, MTC

(

MIDI Time Code

) and MIDI Machine Control (

MMC

)

messages.

When a checkbox is checked, that particular MIDI
message is accepted if the checkbox is in the

IN

col-

umn, and will be transmitted by the DM-24 if the
checkbox is in the

OUT

column.

The

PASS

and

CUT

boxes are not selectable. There are

there to remind you that a checked box means that
the MIDI message is passed, and an unchecked box
means that it is filtered (cut).

Serial output

The DM-24 can be set to output its own timecode
from the

MIDI OUT

port (

MTC OUT

).

Alternatively, it can output incoming timecode as
MIDI timecode from the

MIDI THRU

and the

RS-422

serial port (

RS-422

).

Edit Frames

When this is set on, location memories, etc. are
edited to frame accuracy. When it is set to off, loca-
tion settings are made to second accuracy.
