INTRODUCTION - 1
Next to the LCD is the JOG/SPOOL wheel. The function of this wheel is selected by the JOG/
SPOOL key. Pressing this once will select the JOG function and the LED will light steadily.
Pressing it again will select the SPOOL function and the LED will flash.
The DATA-/DATA+ keys are used to set or change parameter values.
Next to the disk drive bay is the DISK key. Pressing this enters the DISK mode where you can
select functions which are related to the disk drive(s) attached to the system.
The GOTO and STORE keys access the locator pages which allow you to quickly locate the
transport to the required position.
The ENTER key is used to confirm actions or to complete the entry of names, numbers or
timecode values. The ESCAPE key is used abort or cancel the process without committing it.
This is your ‘escape route’ should you be in a situation where you change your mind. The ES-
CAPE key can also be used to take you out of the current page and back to the main play/record
mode.
The UNDO key allows you to undo/redo the last thing you did. If you make a mistake and do
something you’re not happy with, press UNDO and the original data will be restored. If you then
find that you preferred the mistake, press UNDO again to restore the previous version.
NOTE 1: The UNDO function only refers to recording and editing. You cannot undo anything
else. For example, if you load a project and change your mind, you cannot undo that. If you
select some tracks for edit when you really meant to select them for record, you cannot undo
that.
NOTE 2: IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE UNDO IF YOU DELETE A FILE (I.E. A PROJECT)
BY MISTAKE. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN DELETING FILES.
The SYSTEM key is used to select pages where you can set many parameters to select the
current operational state of the DD8.
Finally, on the other side of disk drive bay, the PHONES connector outputs a mix of all tracks
selected for playback. The headphone level is adjusted by the LEVEL control above the connec-
tor.
