New Footswitch Functionality - Tascam SX-1 Release Note

Select the Mixer Routing tab and select Input Channels from the Category pulldown.
likely already selected for input 17, so select Analog Input 1 from the input pulldown for Channel 17.
Notice that channels 18-32 also changed to the remaining analog inputs. To change them back, select
HDR 1 again — the remaining 15 HDR outputs will be routed to 18-32 as well.
On the LCD, the Routes button increments the number of channels routed at once. The default is one
channel, but repeated pressings will yield the 2, 4,8 and 16 channel increments as well. The method of
routing is the same as on the VGA screen — make a routing selection, and the number of channels you
have selected with the Routes button will route along as well.

18. New Footswitch functionality

The footswitch can now be used to perform a number of tasks besides simple punch in and out.
Navigate to the etc Preference screen to see the enhancements that were added:
1. Punch IN/OUT — operates as a simple pedal for punching in and out. Depress once to enter
RECORD, and depress once more to exit RECORD.
2. PLAY/STOP - If the transport is stopped, pressing the pedal will cause the SX-1 to enter PLAY. If
the transport is in any other state (FF or RW, for example), pressing the pedal will emulate
pressing the STOP key in the transport.
3. TALKBACK — when in TALKBACK mode, depressing the pedal emulates pressing the front
panel talkback button.
4. SLATE — in SLATE mode, depressing the pedal emulates pressing SHIFT+the Talkback button.
5. LOCATE #0 — in this mode, depressing the pedal causes a Locate to Memory Marker zero. If this
register is empty, the SX-1 will locate to 00:00:00:00 and post an error message informing you
that Marker Zero is empty instead.
6. Toggle Group 1 Mute — in this mode, depressing the pedal emulates pressing the front panel mute
button for the Group 1 channel master.
7. Toggle current EQ — pressing the pedal toggles the EQ s bypass for the currently selected channel.
8. Automation Keep — depressing the pedal simulates pressing SHIFT+AUTO TOUCH on the front
panel, which will cause the automation engine to KEEP the current mix.
9. SHIFT — in this mode, the pedal simulates the shift key on the front panel. Use the pedal instead of
the surface SHIFT button to invoke any of the key commands that involve the SHIFT key.
10. LIBRARY RECALL NEXT — in this mode, depressing the pedal increments the currently
selected library s entry by one number (simulates pressing the button of the same name on the
surface).
