NOTE : Cancel and Execute are also shown on the LCD in such circumstances. The dedicated keys are
provided for convenience when using functions such as scene and/or autolocate recall, etc., where it may not be
convenient to reach up to the LCD.
Used in conjunction with the PRE/POST-ROLL function and CYCLE, you can cycle
round the IN/OUT points with the PRE-POST-ROLL offsets to repeatedly rehearse a
take - when you ready, press PLAY+RECORD (or the footswitch) to commit the record-
ing.
For example, if the IN time is set to 00:01:00:00 and the OUT time is set to 00:01:20:00,
with PRE-ROLL and POST ROLL set to 5 seconds each, with CYCLE switched on, the
DPS24 will play around 00:00:55:00 to 00:01:25:00 switching monitoring/punching in/
out at 00:01:00:00 and 00:01:20:00 respectively. To hear the recording, you should switch
AUTO off.
Selects which channels the 12 'physical' channels will control.
Switches selected inputs to monitor. When INPUT MONITOR is switched off (the de-
fault), monitoring is as follows on the selected RECORD tracks:
PLAYBACK Monitor disk
RECORD Monitor input
STOP Monitor input
Thus, when playing up to a record punch-in (manual or automatic), you hear the track(s)
selected for record playing back. At the point of the punch-in, monitoring switches to
INPUT and you will hear what you are playing/recording. At the point of punch-out,
monitoring reverts to disk playback. When playback is stopped, you hear the inputs.
When INPUT MONITOR is switched on, you hear the inputs through the tracks se-
lected for record at all times (i.e. during playback, recording and when the DPS24 is
stopped).
Turns the JOG/SHUTTLE wheel on or off.
Cancels/aborts prompt driven actions (for example, editing, deleting, naming, scene
recall, autolocate recall, etc.).
Proceeds with any prompt driven actions about to take place (for example, editing, de-
leting, naming, scene recall, autolocate recall, etc.).
