OUT
fader Aux busses.
When the active fader layer is the
pressing the keys will cut the output busses and
CUT
Aux sends.
If Aux busses 1 and 2 have been selected as being
pre-fader, and the key of a module is pressed,
CUT
signals will still be sent to Aux busses 1 and 2.
The indicators are also used to show inplace
CUT
solo status (all channels except the soloed channels
will be cut).

[29] READ. WRITE, UPDATE indicators

These indicators are used to show the current status
of the module when console automation is in
progress, using an external computer.

[30] Layered faders

These faders are usually used to control the level of
the signal of the module's current channel, Aux send
or buss, as selected by the
hence the name "layered faders".
When the faders are "full up", +10 dB of boost is
provided. In the "full down" position, the signals are
completely attenuated.
The screens (4.5.2, "Using AUX keys to set
AUX
send levels") also contain an option to use the faders
to control the level of the signal sent from the chan-
nels to the Aux buss.
The faders are motorized, but when playing back
automated mixes from an external computer, motor-
ization may be turned off (2.4.1, "Turning fader
motors on and off").
12.7Stereo input and stereo
masters
[31] ST IN & 2 faders
These faders are usually used to control the level of
the signals received at the
stereo pair. Note that if a connection is made to the
jack only of one of these pairs, the channel will be a
mono channel.

When the faders are "full up", +10 dB of boost is
provided. In the "full down" position, the signals are
completely attenuated.
The screens also contain an option to use these
AUX
faders to control the level of the signal sent from the
channels to the Aux buss (4.5.2, "Using AUX keys to
set send levels"). This is the only occasion in which
these faders do not control the levels of the stereo
inputs, regardless of the fader layer.
Like the channel faders, these are motorized faders,
and subject to the same restrictions and limitations as
them.

[32] STEREO OUT fader

This fader is used to control the level of the stereo
output buss (both channels).
When the fader is in the "full up" 0 position, the level
of the stereo output is not attenuated. For example, if
a signal is input to one channel at nominal level, and
the channel fader is at the nominal level (0), and
routed to the stereo outputs with the STEREO fader
,
[3]
at 0, the stereo outputs will be at nominal level.
When the fader is in the "full down" position, the ste-
reo signal is fully attenuated.

[33] ALL SAFE key

This key is used to turn off the track arming and
recording status for any external devices whose track
arming function is controlled by the TM-D4000. See
also the key description

12.8Machine control

The machine control section allows for control of the
external devices connected to the TM-D4000 and
selected for control.
The exact degree of control depends on the device
and on the settings made, and is described more fully
in the appropriate section on Machine control.
However, a brief guide to the controls is given here,
for reference. Where appropriate, you should read the
documentation provided with the external unit for an
L
in-depth explanation of some of the topics which are
covered briey in this manual.
