TASCAM DM-24 2.0 release notes 23DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—AutomationKEEP operationsThe keep operation saves a copy of the current mixinto an empty memory bank, if available. If there isnot enough space (all banks are filled) the top unpro-tected bank is erased, all other banks “slide up” andthe lowest is filled with the new data.If the KEEP CONFIRMATION option in the automationsetup is checked, a popup message appears to askwhether the bank should be deleted, otherwise thebank is deleted with no confirmation.To perform the keep function, press and hold the2ND F. key and press KEEP.If the timecode is running when the Keep operationis performed, the DM-24 waits until the timecodestops before performing the data storage, otherwisethe storage takes place immediately. The mix name’slast character is a number or letter (0-9, A-Z, a-z),automatically incremented as the data storage takesplace.If there is no change to the data between the previousstore, and the time that the Keep operation isrequested, a message appears, showing that there isno change, and asking whether the Keep operation isto take place.Single control mix move eraseIf a single control’s mix moves are to be erased, thiscan now be done by placing the control into staticmode (using the AUTO CONFIG screen), and runningtimecode.
