Routing Libraries In Surround Mode; Changes Made To The Transport In Version 1.50; The Sx-1 Now Has The Ability To Change The Session Start Time For Bars And Beats - Tascam SX-1 Release Note

38. Routing Libraries in surround mode

The user may notice that the routing libraries are somewhat incompatible with the surround panning
modes of the SX-1. All of the routing libraries were created with Stereo buss applications in mind, so
if they are recalled when in surround mode, the hardware I/O assignments will be re-arranged for the
stereo buss case. This is likely to result in the surround buss assignments being incorrect for
monitoring purposes, and the routing library recall will also give the busses user names which hide
their surround mode use. Given that the routing libraries are basic starting points for your own routing,
the user must always review the signal flow through the SX-1 after recalling a factory routing preset.

Changes made to the transport in version 1.50.

The SX-1 now has the ability to change the session start time for bars and beats

It is now possible to set a start time for Bar 1. This means that for a start time of 01:00:00:00, the
downbeat of Bar 1 would be precisely 01:00:00:00. Rewinding the transport to a spot before this time
would show a negative bar value in Bars and Beats mode.
To see how this works, navigate to the Time/Tempo tab on the VGA Track screen:
Or simply press the Time/Tempo button in the LCD Access section of the slanted front panel:
On the VGA, highlight the field you would like to enter a value in with the mouse, and using the PS/2
keyboard, enter a new timecode value. Our example is using 00:05:00:00 (five minutes).
On the LCD, use the arrow keys on the keypad to scroll down to the start time field, and enter a
timecode value using the keypad keys.
