code rate of 30 frames per second, non-drop, this
equates to about 8 milliseconds per event.
A Note on Touch-Sensitive Faders
When using the touch-sensitivity of the faders in
automation, you should always use your fingers to
touch the faders. If you use a pencil or ruler, etc. or
even your fingernails to touch them, the fader will
not register as having been touched.
Setup
There are two possible sources of timecode to which
the DM-3200’s automation can lock. Both are equal
in functionality and accuracy. Your choice will
depend on what you have available in your situation.
The choices are listed here:
Timecode
There is an RCA jack (TIMECODE IN) on the back of
the DM-3200 which accepts SMPTE/EBU timecode.
To use this timecode with the automation system, go
to the
AUTOMATION display, and then select TC IN as
shown below:
If you don’t see this screen, press the POD 1 switch
and use the POD 1 encoder and
ENTER key to select
SETUP from the popup menu.
MTC
This refers to MIDI Timecode being received at the
DM-3200’s MIDI IN or through the USB port. The
source of MTC could be a Digital Audio Workstation
(DAW) that does not support LTC, or any other
source of MTC.
Use the
AUTOMATION SETUP screen to select either MTC
(USB)
or MTC (MIDI IN), depending on the MIDI
timecode received.
