2 - Principles of operation—Fader layers2–4NOTEEqualization is only available in theMODULEscreen. There is no global equal-ization screen.2.3.5 Selecting channelsIn the case of the MODULE screens, which allowyou to adjust the parameters of an individual channel(or pair of linked channels), it is necessary to selectthe channel whose parameters are to be edited. Thisis usually done with the individual channels’ SELkeys.Pressing the SEL key of a channel (or either channelof a stereo linked pair of channels) will change theMODULE screen (when a MODULE screen isalready displayed) to allow viewing and setting ofthat channel’s parameters.If the MODULE screen is not already displayed,pressing and holding the SEL key of a channel forabout two seconds will bring up the MODULEediting screen for that channel, if the appropriateoption is set (see 3.3.5, “Select MODULE return”).In addition, the SEL keys may also be used to jumparound a screen quickly when a lot of channels aredisplayed simultaneously, rather than using the cur-sor keys to select a channel.The channel faders may also be used to select chan-nels for editing, together with other optional prefer-ences concerned with the interface, as described in3.3.4, “Fader select”.2.4 Fader layersThe TM-D4000 can handle up to 32 mono inputs,together with two stereo inputs, and also has eightbusses and six aux sends. However, only 19 fadersare visible.The way that faders are used is in “layers”—eachlayer consisting of 16 faders.The three right faders always control the two stereoinputs and the stereo master buss, regardless of thesettings of the other faders, except in the Aux sendmode, where the mono and stereo input faders in the1-16 and 17-32 layers act as Aux sends. In theMASTER layer, even if the Aux send option isselected, all faders retain their settings.The three layers are selected using the LAYERSTATUS keys (the appropriate indicator will light).These three keys are interlocking, i.e. only one canbe active at a time, and have the following meanings:Layer 1(CH 1-16) Layer 2(CH 17-32)Layer 3(MASTER)Channel faders 1–32 8 output busses 6 aux sends12310 26AUX 2(fader striplabel)LAYERSTATUS MeaningCH 1-16 Faders 1–8 control the inputs from the integralanalog inputs, and faders 9–16 control thechannel inputs from slot 1CH 17–32 Faders 1–8 control the channel inputs from slot2, and faders 9–16 control the channel inputsfrom slot 3MASTER Faders 1–8 control the levels of the signals fedto the eight output busses.
