TASCAM SS-CDR1
Flash Start function
The Flash Start function lets you instantly start playback of
a track you’ve registered.
The beginning of up to twenty tracks can be pre-loaded
into memory, so that playback can be triggered instantly
from a PS/2 keyboard connected to the front panel, or from
an external device connected to the SS-CDR1’s parallel
connector.
1 Specify the play area (see “Play area” on page 21).
Specify the play area as the play list or folder that con-
tains the tracks you want to flash-start. Make sure that
there are no more than twenty tracks.
2 Set the play mode to CONTINUE or PROGRAM
(see “Playback Modes” on page 27).
NOTE
You cannot use Flash Load if the play mode is set to
RANDOM.
3 While stopped, press the remote’s
FLASH LOAD
key.
The SS-CDR1 will successively read the beginning of
each track in the play area.
The tracks will be read in the order of playback. In
other words if the play mode is CONTINUE, the tracks
will be read consecutively, starting with the first. If the
play mode is PROGRAM, the tracks will be read in the
order of the program.
While the tracks are being read, the lower right of the
home screen will indicate FLASH blinking.
NOTE
If you press the • FLASH LOAD key when the play
mode is RANDOM, the display will indicate
CAN
,
T
SELECT
, and the data will not be loaded.
If you press the • FLASH LOAD key when the play
mode is SINGLE, the tracks in the play area will be
read successively in the same way as for the
CONTINUE setting.
If twenty-one or more tracks are registered, data
•
for the first twenty tracks from the beginning will
be loaded.
When the data has been loaded, the lower right of the home
screen will indicate FLASH .
4 When FLASH is lit, you can trigger flash-start play-
back from a PS/2 keyboard connected to the front
panel or from an external device connected to the
SS-CDR1’s parallel connector.
If you’re using a PS/2 keyboard, the CTRL+function
keys (F1–F12) will flash-start tracks 1–12 (see
“Keyboard operations” on page 61).
If you’re using the external parallel connector, you’ll be
able to flash-start tracks 1–20 (see “Control connec-
tions” on page 10).
NOTE
Tracks used with flash start must have the same
sampling frequency. If a track with a different
sampling frequency is detected while loading the
tracks, the display indicates
FLASH LOAD
, and the
unit cancels the track loading (the tracks already
loaded are also canceled). The
FLASH indicator does not
light up.
TIP
When using a CF card, you can efficiently use the flash
start setting for the desired track by setting the play
area to PLAYLIST and selecting a playlist that contains
only the track you want to flash-start as the current
playlist (see “Editing a playlist (CF only)” on page 62,
“Play area” on page 24).
