DM-24 LOGIC ENVIRONMENT
Instructions
(These instructions were created based on using Logic 5 with Mac OS 9.2, however these instructions should also
apply to those using Windows OS.)
This DM-24 Template file provides you with two powerful tools for
integrating Emagic's Logic sequencing software with the TASCAM DM-24 digital
console. It requires Logic 5.0 or higher.
DM-24 MIXER Environment
The first tool is a Logic environment that appears as a visual
representation of various DM-24 functions. This environments is actually
comprised of many different objects
that allow you to view things such as
fader position, mute status, panning, and preset recall of effects and
snapshots. Also, the status of these functions will automatically update on
screen as you change setting on the DM-24. You can also grab controls on
Logic's environment screen, and watch the DM-24 immediately respond as well.
All though this looks cool, and is sure to impress your friends, the real
power is in being able to automate these functions within Logic's sequencer.
The advantage of getting the DM-24 macro installed into your Logic session
requires a few steps. Logic has to be made aware that the DM-24 exists in
your system, and this is accomplished by simply importing the environment
layer from this downloaded
session file into your Logic session. You'll probably want
to import the environment layer into your autoload session, so that the
DM-24 will be
present in any new session you create.
1. It is necessary to have bi-directional MIDI communication between
Logic and the DM-24. Connect a MIDI cables from an output of your MIDI
interface to the MIDI IN of the DM-24, and from the MIDI OUT of the DM-24 to
an input of your MIDI interface.
2. Launch Logic. This should automatically create a new session from
your autoload template.
3. Go to the windows heading, and select "Open Environment".
4. In the Environment window, select "options", and go down to where it
says "Import Environment", and then select "Layer...".
5. Logic now asks you to locate the file from which you want to import
the environment layer. Locate and select the "DM-24 template" file on your
drive.
6. It now asks you to choose the layer you want to import. Select the
"DM-24" layer, and press "Import". Now select "Exit". You should then see
the "DM-24" environment layer on your screen.
