3 - System setup—Option setup3–5changed, and the ENTER key is then used to makethe setting.3.3.1 Location display modeWhen using the TM-D4000’s location facilities tocontrol an external device, the value of the locationpoints (LOCATE DISPLAY MODE) canbe displayed either on the main time counter (7-Seg LED) or as a “pop-up” panel on the maindisplay screen (LCD Screen Pop-up).These options are mutually exclusive, i.e. you canonly choose one.3.3.2 Timecode sourceThe timecode displayed on the time counter can betaken from the timecode source used for automationtiming (Automation SyncSource), directly from a DTRS recorderthrough the REMOTE IN terminal (MDR ABSAbsolute Time) or received at theMIDI IN terminal as MIDI timecode (MIDIIN MTC [MIDI Time Code]). Thistimecode source is also used when controlling exter-nal devices (see 9, “Machine Control”). Again, onlyone of these options can be selected.3.3.3 PreferencesThe PREFERENCES are as follows: FaderAuto MODULE Select, SelectMODULE Return, Select Linkand Dial Edit, AutomationFader Motors Inhibit andBalance Level CENTER 0dB.Any number of these preferences can be selected, asindicated by a check mark in the checkboxes (4).3.3.4 Fader selectWhen checked, and the MODULE screen is cur-rently displayed this option allows a module to beselected whenever its fader is moved, in addition tothe usual method of pressing the SEL key.3.3.5 Select MODULE returnWhen checked, this option allows the MODULEscreen of the appropriate module to appear (even if aMODULE screen is not currently displayed) if theSEL key of the module is pressed and held for abouttwo seconds.3.3.6 Select linkWhen checked, this option allows the stereo linkingof two adjacent modules (provided the left module isodd-numbered) by pressing and holding the SEL keyof one module and pressing the SEL key of the other.See 4.2.2, “Using the SEL keys to link channels”.3.3.7 Dial editWhen checked, this option allows the JOG dial to beused as a data entry dial for the on-screen controlpointed to by the triangular cursor, which is usuallycontrolled by a POD knob. In effect, this providesanother POD. In addition to this option beingchecked, the JOG/SHUTTLE indicator must be offwhen using the JOG dial in this way, to prevent theJOG dial being used as a transport control.3.3.8 Automation fader inhibitThe Automation Fader MotorsInhibit setting allows the motorization of thefaders to be turned off or on for automation replay(Read) purposes. See 2.4.1, “Turning fader motors onand off”.3.3.9 Balance levelWhen two channels are linked together as a stereopair, the pan controls change to a balance control, asmentioned earlier. In the center position, the levelmay either be set to 0dB (checked) or a 3 dB cut(unchecked).3.3.10OscillatorThe integral line-up oscillator can be turned using theleft switch of POD 2 and the frequency adjusted withthe POD 1 control. It can be assigned to either theleft or right main output buss, (L Buss,R buss), Both of these, or neither using theswitches of POD 1. The left busses are the odd-num-bered output busses (1, 3, 5, 7) and the left channel ofthe stereo output buss. The right busses are the even-numbered output busses (2, 4, 6, 8) and the rightchannel of the stereo output buss.The POD 1 rotary control is used to change the levelof the oscillator, relative to full-scale.3.3.11Meter ballisticsThe release rate (“fall time”) and peak hold time ofthe meters and can be adjusted using the knobs ofPODs 3 and 4.The release rate can be set to Fast, Normalor Slow.The hold time can be set to 0sec, 1sec,2sec, 4sec, 8sec or ˚ . The final (infinity)setting will hold the peak value until a new setting ismade (or the TM-D4000 is turned off!).
