8 – Cascade function
Precautions for use of the cascade
function
•
When the cascade function is ON, the auto record
function is disabled. If you turn the cascade function ON
when the auto record function is ON, the auto record
function turns OFF automatically. When the cascade
function is turned OFF again, the auto record function
remains OFF. To use the auto record function, turn it ON
again after turning the cascade function OFF.
•
When using the cascade function, set the
PAUSE
item of
the
REC
menu to the same value for both the master and
slave units. If the settings of the master and slave units
are different, their operation after pausing recording will
not be the same, and control of their transports will not
occur correctly.
•
If the types of cards used for recording in the master
and slave units are different and the
PAUSE
item of the
REC
menu is set to
NEW TAKE
, recording might not start
simultaneously when the REC button is operated. The
reason for this is that the processing time for the units
differs when the slave and master units use different
types of cards. Moreover, this lag between units can also
occur if the recording file format or sampling frequency
settings of the master and slave units are not the same.
To conduct cascade recording without lag, use the same
type of card in both the master and slave units and set
their recording file formats and sampling frequencies to
the same values. Alternately, the lag between units can
also be avoided by waiting several seconds after putting
the unit in recording standby before pressing the REC
button.
•
The Home Screen must be open on both the master and
slave units to use the cascade function. If a menu screen
is open on either or both units, the cascade function will
not work properly.
•
Use of the cascade function for playback is intended
for checking recorded takes. We cannot guarantee
synchronized playback.
