[. . . ] The current settings may, of course, be stored in the currently-selected library entry, overwriting the settings already stored there. If the "neutral" setting (00) is selected, a message appears on the display screen reminding you that this memory area is readonly and cannot be overwritten with other data. This snapshot is read-only; it cannot be overwritten with user snapshot data. 8. 1. 2 Recalling a snapshot The current snapshot entry is displayed at the top left of the display screen. An inverse E to the right of the snapshot number indicates that the current settings differ from those stored in the snapshot library memory. 1 Press the + or ­ key to change the snapshot entry displayed at the top left of the screen. The library entry number is displayed in inverse video, showing that the library entry is selected for recall, but as not yet actually been recalled. Snapshots can also be stored from the snapshot library screen, using the on-screen STORE button, as mentioned in the section below (8. 1. 5, "Naming a snapshot"). 8. 1. 4 Copying a snapshot Although there is no dedicated function which allows the copying of the snapshot data stored in one library entry to another library entry, it is easy to use the recall and store facilities to recall a snapshot, select another library entry, and store the recalled snapshot into the newly-selected library entry. 2 Press the RECALL key to recall the library entry. NOTE When a library entry is recalled, there may be sudden jumps in level. You are advised to turn down the level of the monitoring systems before recalling a snapshot library entry. Snapshots can also be recalled from the snapshot library screen, using the on-screen RECALL button, as mentioned in the section below (8. 1. 5, "Naming a snapshot"). The on-screen UNDO key can be used to reverse the effects of the last snapshot recall. If no snapshot has been recalled before the UNDO key is pressed, an appropriate error message is displayed. Pressing and holding the SHIFT key and pressing the RECALL key will have the same effect as using the UNDO button. 8. 1. 5 Naming a snapshot To help you remember the function of a snapshot, snapshot library entries can be named with up to 16 alphanumeric characters (and punctuation). The names of existing snapshot library entries can be used as starting points for entering new names, reducing the time and effort needed to enter names. 1 Press the SNAPSHOT key: 8. 1. 3 Storing a snapshot As mentioned above, an inverse E following the snapshot number at the top right of the screen indicates that the current settings differ from the values stored in the library entry. To store these current settings into a library entry: 8­2 8 - Library functions--Snapshot memories 2 The SHUTTLE wheel is used to change the function of the center lower portion of the screen. In the screen shown above, this portion of the screen is used to manage the list of library entries. The JOG dial is used to scroll through the list of entries. note that as the entries in the list are highlighted, a graphical representation of the faders is shown above the list. The fader map to the left of the screen represents the current fader position, allowing comparison of a library entry with the current fader positions. 7 8 Use the JOG dial to move the cursor inside the name of the snapshot entry to be edited. Use the cursor keys to move the cursor through the list of available characters, and the ENTER key to insert the highlighted character at the cursor position in the name. There are two special buttons below the list of characters: the INSERT button inserts a character at the cursor position, and the DELETE button deletes the character at the cursor position. The number keypad can also be used for direct entry of numeric characters in the name. 3 4 When the name of an entry which is to be used as the basis for a new library entry name is highlighted, the cursor keys are used to move the cursor to the on-screen · NAME button. Press the ENTER key to transfer the name of the currently-selected list entry to the name editing area on the right of the screen. 9 5 When the name has been edited, turn the SHUTTLE wheel clockwise so that the center portion of the screen controls the list scrolling functions. Use the JOG dial to select the library entry into which the edited name will be stored. Move the cursor to the on-screen NAME, button, and press ENTER. The edited name will now overwrite the current name (if any) of the highlighted library entry. 10 11 NOTE This procedure does not transfer the snapshot itself; only the name of the snapshot library entry. To recall the snapshot of the currently-selected list entry, use the on-screen RECALL button, or the hardware RECALL key. 6 Turn the SHUTTLE wheel counterclockwise to change the function of the center lower portion of the screen to name editing: NOTE This does not overwrite the snapshot data in the library entry, only the name of the library entry. [. . . ] Then, with the sequencer locked to tape and the TM-D4000 connected to your MIDI interface on its own MIDI channel, play the tape and recall the snapshots while recording to an open track of the sequencer. The recall button will transmit the program change values to be recorded exactly when you press the button. When the sequence is played back the program changes will be transmitted to the TM-D4000 recalling the snapshots. Snapshots can be stored and recalled in any order, they do not need to be sequential. T9 Data Backup Once you have all your snapshots stored in the TM-D4000, you can dump them onto an open track of your sequencer so that the snapshots for a song are stored right in that song's MIDI file.
