2 – Basic operational concepts : Naming library entries
32 TASCAM DM-3200 Owner’s Manual
The on-screen DELETE button deletes the currently-
highlighted library entry.
The target project is fixed as the currently-loaded
project and cannot be fixed—to copy data to a project
other than the one currently loaded, you must first
load the desired target project to make it active.
However, from this screen it is possible to change the
currently-loaded library type (this changes the library
type on both sides, of course).
Source parameters The source parameters are
similar to the target parameters described above.
You can select the library type (which changes both
the source and target types), as well as the banks
within the source library.
Also note that you can select another project from
internal memory or card from which to extract library
entries and copy them over to the target library bank.
Use the POD 4 encoder to scroll through the bank.
The actual copying is done by selecting either
BANK
(the complete contents of the selected source bank)
or
FILE (the highlighted entry in the source), moving
the cursor to the on-screen
COPY button and pressing
ENTER.
Appropriate popup messages warn you about over-
writing, failed copy operations, etc.
Also note the “fuel gauge” showing the used/free
space of the CF card and the “jump button” allowing
easy access to the CF card utility screen.
NOTE
Copying a whole bank overwrites the whole contents of
the target bank. For example, if the target bank con-
tains 99 entries, but the source bank from which the
copy is made contains only one, after the copy the tar-
get bank will contain one entry only.
Naming library entries
When naming library entries, projects etc., the fol-
lowing method is used to enter new names, or edit
existing ones. Names and memos of up to 16 charac-
ters can be stored:
• Use the cursor keys to move left and right
within a title.
• Use the wheel to navigate around the charac-
ter palette, and press
ENTER to enter the high-
lighted character at the title’s cursor position.
• The character palette also contains an
INSERT
and a
DELETE symbol. When the wheel is used
to highlight these, and
ENTER is pressed, a
blank space is inserted, or the current charac-
ter is deleted, respectively, at the title cursor
position.
• Library naming screens also contain
dNAME
and
NAMEe fields (and sometimes also contain
dMEMO and MEMOe fields) which are used to
transfer the stored name to the edited name or
the edited name to the stored name respec-
tively. Highlight the appropriate field and
press
ENTER to perform the copy.
• When the characters of the title have been
entered, press the on-screen STORE (POD 2) to
enter the name and store the library entry (or
project). POD 3 (
CANCEL) cancels the naming
process.
Options
The OPTIONS screens allow you to set preferences to
suit your working style. There are three option
screens, all accessed through the
OPTION key.
The
SETUP and PREFERENCES screens set general
parameters relating to the operation of the DM-3200,
while the
SOLO screen, as its name suggests, is con-
cerned with solo operations.
SETUP screen
Press the OPTION key until the SETUP screen appears.
