4 - SHIFT functionsTASCAM DA-40 25You can start the tape’s program numbers from avalue different from 01 by turning the DATA dial.The program number selected with the DATA dialwill flash (the flashing will continue for fiveseconds).Confirm the flashing program number with theENTER key. If you press ENTER after the programnumber has stopped flashing, renumbering will startfrom 01.The tape will rewind to the first START ID, andrewrite the ID in the same location as previously, butwith the number selected above.When this is done, the number at the right of the dis-play will change to the number which is one greaterthan the starting program number, and the tape willmove forward to the next START ID and renumber itin the same way.While a START ID is being rewritten, the wordRENUM will flash in the display, and the PLAYand RECORD indicators will light.If the current START ID already has a number, thiswill be shown to the left of the # mark on thedisplay:If the current START ID is unnumbered, this is repre-sented by a pair of dashes in the PNO location on thedisplay.All program titles are retained during the renumber-ing process.The renumbering process continues until the end ofthe tape or an END ID is reached.NOTEValid program numbers are from 01 to 99. Ifthe above procedure is used to select a pro-gam number at the high end of the range, andthe renumbering increments a program num-ber above 99, the number will “wrap” to 00.The number 00 can cause problems whensearching and locating, and this should beremembered when setting program numbers.4.5 The EDIT keyThe EDIT key (SHIFTed MENU [27]) allows thefollowing operations to the performed:• Editing of the first memory location• Editing of the second memory location• Editing of a programmed sequence of programs forsubsequent playback• Editing of a string of characters to be used as a tapeor program title• Writing a string of characters to tapeRepeated presses of EDIT will cycle through theseoptions.To exit the EDIT mode, press COUNTER MODE orDISPLAY (as with all SHIFTed modes, pressing theSHIFT key so that the SHIFT indicator goes out willexit the SHIFT mode).The ENTER key is used to select the operation.4.6 Location memories4.6.1 Locating to location memoriesOnce a memory location has been set, as explainedbelow, use the LOC 1 and LOC 2 keys to locate tothe memory location points (as explained in LOC 1[28]).4.6.2 Setting location memoriesPress the MEMO 1 or MEMO 2 key.
