Accordingly, the 16 module fad-ers are used to control all 32 inputs, the six aux sendsand the output buss sends as shown on the pre-printed labels above and below each channel strip.Note that a wipe-off surface is provided (below theREC keys) for you to write in soft pencil the func-tions of the channels (equipment connected to theDM-24, etc.).m REC key These keys, with integral indicator,are used to set and show the recording status of tracksof devices controlled by the DM-24.n SEL keys These keys, with integral indica-tors, are used to select the modules for editing opera-tions, as well as for stereo linking and other editingfunctions. The indicators light to show which modulehas been selected.o MUTE keys These keys, with integral indica-tors, show the muting status of the modules. Whenused with the solo modes, they give instant indicationof what module(s) are selected for soloing.p OL/STATUS indicators These indicatorsmay be selected using software to show either over-load to the input channels or the current status of thechannel when automation operations are being car-ried out. See “OL/STATUS LED TYPE” on page 20for details of these settings.q Module faders These 100mm motorizedfaders are labeled from ∞ (full cut) to +10 (dB). The0 position may be set to be equivalent to the appro-priate full-scale value using software.r ALL SAFE key This key, with integral indi-cator, is used to “safe” any tracks of recordingdevices controlled by the DM-24.s SOLO key This key, with integral indicator,is used to enable the soloing function as selected in“SOLO” on page 22.t STEREO fader This fader does not changefunction as the layers are changed, but controls thelevel of the stereo outputs.It is labeled from ∞ (full cut) to 0 (full scale).u LAYER STATUS keys These keys (withintegral indicators), as explained in “Fader layers” onpage 18, change the function of the modules to pro-vide access to the different fader layers.Transport and automation controlThis controls in this section provide remote controlfacilities for recording devices, etc. attached to theDM-24.v REPEAT key This key, with integral indica-tor, is used to control repeat playback.w ALL INPUT key Provides input monitoringfor all tracks on the selected unit(s).x AUTO MON key Provides automatedswitching between input and off-tape monitoring.y AUTO PUNCH IN/OUT keys Typicallyused with the DTRS family of recorders.z Transport keys and indicators Theexact function of these keys (REW, F FWD, STOP,PLAY and RECORD) and indicators depends on thedevice currently selected for external control.*()QWETRYU I O PAS
