TASCAM DM-3200 Automation Guide 13
Since this fade is written directly using the Master
Fader, it is not possible to change its time value after
an Auto Fade has been performed.
To write an Auto Fade:
1 Press the
WRITE key.
2 Hold
SHIFT and press AUTO FADE at the point
where you want the fade to begin.
To erase an Auto Fade it is necessary to overwrite the
duration of the fade manually or by using the Write
To End function.
TIP
A linear fade is often not musically desirable. Typically
in these cases you will begin the fade at a faster rate
and end the fade at a slower rate. Use the Auto Fade
function to perform this:
• Press WRITE.
• Hold
SHIFT and press AUTO FADE at the point
where you want the fade to begin.
• Continue to hold
SHIFT and press AUTO FADE
again to restart the Auto Fade Time from the
fader’s current position.
• This may be repeated as often as desired to
slow down the end of an Auto Fade to a mere
crawl.
TOUCH function The TOUCH key allows you to
simulate touch-sensitivity for the PODs , encoders or
switch controls.
1 Enable the Global Write mode.
2 Press and hold the
TOUCH key, and while
holding down this key, move the control to
start a write from the control’s current value.
3 Make the mix moves (or end the write by
pressing the
REVERT key).
Revert actions follow the settings made in the
SETUP screen.
AUTO FILES
Top line The word AUTO appears beside the
selected channel in all mixer displays when the auto-
mation system is enabled. The word
WRITE appears
here solid when the mixer is ready to record either
Static or Dynamic mix data. The word
WRITE
flashes when the automation system is actually writ-
ing mix data on the selected channel. This could be a
Write or Trim operation.
On the right the source of the timecode being used by
the mixer and the automation system is shown.
TC
indicates Linear Timecode and MTC indicates MIDI
Timecode with
INT referring to the internal timecode
generator.
Below this, on the left and right, the current automa-
tion file and the highlighted automation file respec-
tively are shown.
The amount of bank memory used by the selected
mix is shown.
The POD 4 encoder and wheel are used to select a
stored mix and the on-screen
CF BANK buttons are
used to select the different banks on the inserted CF
card.
The other on-screen buttons, etc. work in the same
way as for other libraries, allowing deletion, protec-
tion, etc. of stored entries.
DELETE permanently erases the contents of the high-
lighted mix file.
CAUTION
There is no undo for this operation.
