Chapter 10: Project management (Project mode)

This chapter describes various methods to manage Projects.

What is a Project?

The DPS12 manages recorded songs as "Projects." Each Project contains the following information.
• Audio data in physical tracks and virtual tracks
• Mix parameter settings in Mixer mode
• Scene memories
• Assign mode settings
• Locate point, quick locate point, IN point, and OUT point
• Control Panel settings (a part of settings are not included)
• Project name
• Protect on/off
You can store multiple Projects on a disk, but the DPS12 can handle only one Project at a time. The project being
processed on the DPS12 is called the "current Project." If a disk does not have enough space to accommodate
Projects, you may erase unnecessary Projects from the disk, or back-up data to an external SCSI device or DAT
recorder.
TIPS :
• When you turn on the power to the DPS12 and load data from the disk, it will automatically recall the first
Project (a Project you accessed the last time) in the Project list stored in the disk.
• If you make recording or edits in the current Project, those changes will be automatically stored.

Project mode is used to manage Projects. When you press the
stopped, the DPS12 enters Project mode, and the following PROJECT screen appears.
