If you want to conduct recording operations using timecode, the same timecode can also be provided to cascade slave unit by input-

ting a timecode signal into the timecode input connector of the cascade master unit.

NOTE

i If a cascade unit is added to the network during recording or playback,

not be able to operate with cascade synchronization until the cascade-synchronized recording or playback stops.

i If cascade connection is interrupted due to network connection failure during recording or playback, after the network connection is

restored, cascade connection will not be reestablished until it is stopped. For this reason, stopping recording/playback on the master

unit will not stop slave units that have had the cascade connection interrupted. In this case, stop each unit individually. When they are

stopped, implementation of the cascade connection will automatically start.

Cascade recording

After cascade operation settings and connections have been completed, starting/stopping/pausing recording on the cascade master unit

will simultaneously start/stop/pause recording on the cascade slave unit.

Cascade playback

After cascade operation settings and connections have been completed, starting/stopping/pausing playback on the cascade master unit

will simultaneously start/stop/pause playback on the cascade slave unit.

When searching forward/backward on the cascade master unit, the slave unit will not synchronize until after the master unit is stopped.

Then, it will synchronize to the stopping point.

If takes are skipped during playback, the slave unit will synchronize to the master unit playback after it stops skipping. Then, it will also

resume playing.

If takes are skipped when stopped, the slave unit will immediately stop at the same playback take as the master unit.

Takes used for cascade playback

The cascade Master can play back any Take in the current folder whose Sampling rate matches the

The cascade Slave will play back a take in the folder with the same name as the Master's currently selected folder that matches the

Master's Take according to one of the following rules:

a) The Take name matches the Master's Take name and the cascade ID in the take name matches the slave's Cascade ID.

b) The take name matches the Master's Take name exactly.

If takes for both a) and b) exist in the Slave's current folder, the take matching rule a) is used.

if a take matching rule a) does not exist in the Slave's current folder, a take matching rule b) will be played.

When using cascade playback, as a rule, play takes back on the same units that were used for cascade recording.

If you want to use a take that has a CASCADE ID added to its take name for cascade playback that differs from the cascade ID setting,

do one of the following.

o Change the CASCADE ID to match the take you want to play.

o Edit the CASCADE ID in take name to match the cascade ID setting.

o Edit the slave's Take name to match the Master's Take name.

Examples:

CASCADE ID: SLAVE-1

Take name: T001_TASCAM_M_001

In this state, cascade playback with "T001_TASCAM_M_001" is not possible. Do one of the following to enable cascade playback of the

take.

1) Change the

CASCADE ID

2) Change the take name to "T001_TASCAM_S1_001" to match the
