2 – Basic operational concepts : Naming library entries32 TASCAM DM-3200 Owner’s ManualThe on-screen DELETE button deletes the currently-highlighted library entry.The target project is fixed as the currently-loadedproject and cannot be fixed—to copy data to a projectother than the one currently loaded, you must firstload the desired target project to make it active.However, from this screen it is possible to change thecurrently-loaded library type (this changes the librarytype on both sides, of course).Source parameters The source parameters aresimilar to the target parameters described above.You can select the library type (which changes boththe source and target types), as well as the bankswithin the source library.Also note that you can select another project frominternal memory or card from which to extract libraryentries and copy them over to the target library bank.Use the POD 4 encoder to scroll through the bank.The actual copying is done by selecting either BANK(the complete contents of the selected source bank)or FILE (the highlighted entry in the source), movingthe cursor to the on-screen COPY button and pressingENTER.Appropriate popup messages warn you about over-writing, failed copy operations, etc.Also note the “fuel gauge” showing the used/freespace of the CF card and the “jump button” allowingeasy access to the CF card utility screen.NOTECopying a whole bank overwrites the whole contents ofthe target bank. For example, if the target bank con-tains 99 entries, but the source bank from which thecopy is made contains only one, after the copy the tar-get bank will contain one entry only.Naming library entriesWhen naming library entries, projects etc., the fol-lowing method is used to enter new names, or editexisting ones. Names and memos of up to 16 charac-ters can be stored:• Use the cursor keys to move left and rightwithin a title.• Use the wheel to navigate around the charac-ter palette, and press ENTER to enter the high-lighted character at the title’s cursor position.• The character palette also contains an INSERTand a DELETE symbol. When the wheel is usedto highlight these, and ENTER is pressed, ablank space is inserted, or the current charac-ter is deleted, respectively, at the title cursorposition.• Library naming screens also contain dNAMEand NAMEe fields (and sometimes also containdMEMO and MEMOe fields) which are used totransfer the stored name to the edited name orthe edited name to the stored name respec-tively. Highlight the appropriate field andpress ENTER to perform the copy.• When the characters of the title have beenentered, press the on-screen STORE (POD 2) toenter the name and store the library entry (orproject). POD 3 (CANCEL) cancels the namingprocess.OptionsThe OPTIONS screens allow you to set preferences tosuit your working style. There are three optionscreens, all accessed through the OPTION key.The SETUP and PREFERENCES screens set generalparameters relating to the operation of the DM-3200,while the SOLO screen, as its name suggests, is con-cerned with solo operations.SETUP screenPress the OPTION key until the SETUP screen appears.Use the cursor to navigate around the checkbox andFigure 2.29: Setting and editing titles and memos
