12–112 - Front panelThis section explains the different parts of the frontpanel of the TM-D4000.Within this section there are also detailed explana-tions of some system conguration, etc. procedures,which are linked to particular controls. In particular,explanations are given for the conguration k eys,which are located to the left of the display screen.12.1System controls, etc.These keys and indicators provide access to functionsthat control the whole of the TM-D4000 system.They include controls for automation, fader-to-chan-nel layers, library functions, conguration and gen-eral mixer controls.[1] Clock and Fs indicatorsThis section consists of indicators giving the currentword clock status of the TM-D4000.These Fs indicators show the sampling frequencycurrently being used by the TM-D4000, either 48k or44.1k.If the sampling frequency from the selected clocksource is out of range, or is not available, the appro-priate CLOCK indicator will ash.The sampling frequency may either be internallygenerated, or derived from an external source. See3.2, “CLOCK setup” for details.These CLOCK indicators show the source of theword clock currently being used by the TM-D4000:either INT (internal), SLOT (taken from one of theinterface cards tted in the e xpansion slots, D-IN(from one of the stereo digital input ports) or WORD(from the dedicated word clock connection).[2] Automation controlThis section consists of indicators and controls,mainly associated with automation procedures (auto-mation requires an external computer system con-nected to the TM-D4000, and is explained in theAutomation Manual).The automation mode keys are the WRITE key,UPDATE key, READ key and MANUAL key. Eachone has an associated indicator.As well as the above keys, there is also an ALL key(used to select all modules for a particular mode).[3] LAYER STATUS keys and indicatorsThese three keys allow the selection of the faderlayer (for further details, see 2.4, “Fader layers”).NOTEThe ST IN 1, ST IN 2and STEREO OUTfadersalways control the stereo inputs and the mas-ter stereo output buss, regardless of the cur-rent LAYER STATUSsetting, unless the optionin the AUXscreen to use faders as channelAux sends in the 1-16and 17-32layers isselected (see [7]). In this case, both ST INfad-ers will control the appropriate Aux send fromthe stereo inputs. The STEREO OUTfader willalways retain its function.[4] LibraryThese keys control the storage and recall of the built-in libraries.The TM-D4000 stores the following internally:All library entries may be dumped and restored usingMIDI System Exclusive protocols.Full details of the operation of library functions aregiven in 8, “Library functions”. A brief description ofthe library-related keys is given here, however.The auto-repeating + and – keys are used to incre-ment and decrement the snapshot library entry num-ber shown in the top left of the display. The numberof a snapshot library entry which has not yet beenrecalled will always be shown in inverse video.The STORE key stores the current console settingsinto the snapshot library entry which is shown on thetop left of the display.The RECALL key recalls the snapshot library entryshown on the top left of the display, and set the con-sole parameters to match the values stored in thesnapshot library entry.The SNAPSHOT key brings up the SNAPSHOTlibrary screen, allowing management and naming,etc. of snapshot library entries.Snapshots (all digitalsettings)1 pre-set “nominal” setting; 60 usersettingsEffector (internal effectprocessor)51 pre-set settings, 77 user settingsEQ (channel equalizationsettings)20 preset settings, 80 user settingsDynamics (channelcompression and gating)20 pre-set settings, 80 user settings
