DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—Automation
KEEP operations
The keep operation saves a copy of the current mix
into an empty memory bank, if available. If there is
not enough space (all banks are filled) the top unpro-
tected bank is erased, all other banks “slide up” and
the lowest is filled with the new data.
If the
KEEP CONFIRMATION
option in the automation
setup is checked, a popup message appears to ask
whether the bank should be deleted, otherwise the
bank is deleted with no confirmation.
To perform the keep function, press and hold the
2ND F.
key and press
KEEP
.
If the timecode is running when the Keep operation
is performed, the DM-24 waits until the timecode
stops before performing the data storage, otherwise
the storage takes place immediately. The mix name’s
last character is a number or letter (0-9, A-Z, a-z),
automatically incremented as the data storage takes
place.
If there is no change to the data between the previous
store, and the time that the Keep operation is
requested, a message appears, showing that there is
no change, and asking whether the Keep operation is
to take place.
Single control mix move erase
If a single control’s mix moves are to be erased, this
can now be done by placing the control into static
mode (using the
AUTO CONFIG
screen), and running
timecode. This erases the mix move data for this
control.
After an undo of this operation, the mode remains
static, meaning that the data will be deleted if the
mode is not changed to another mode (that is, other
than static).
TRIM ALL function
To use the TRIM ALL function (also described in the
main manual):
1 Enable
TRIM ALL
in the
AUTO MAIN
screen.
2 Enable Global Trim mode and run the time-
code.
3 Adjust the control (typically a fader) that will
use the Trim All function.
4 Complete the mix pass by stopping the time-
code.
NOTE
You must stop the timecode to complete the Trim All
pass. The Trim all function cannot be combined with
other Global automation modes in the same mix pass.
Other automation improvements
In addition to the specific improvements and changes
listed here, all automation functionality described in
the manual (for example, the Trim All function and
the Control Sense Timeout on/off function) is now
complete.
Rehearsal In order to distinguish rehearsals from
actual write or trim operations, the status indicator
flashes in dim mode during rehearsal.
Undo (Write to End) The Undo function on
Write to End operations has been improved.
Auto Fade Problems were occasionally reported
when an Auto Fade was interrupted. The behavior of
this function has now been improved.
Motorized faders The motorized fader setting is
now made from the main
AUTOMATION
screen, as
well as the
PREFERENCES
screen.
