TASCAM DA-98HR
7 – Advanced operations
7.1
Autolocation
The DA-98HR contains two location memories
accessible through the
LOC 1
and
LOC 2
keys(
and
). These also provide a “A
↔
B repeat” facil-
ity, which allows you to rehearse part of a mixdown,
for instance (see 7.2.5, “Repeat function”). These
two location memory points are referred to as
“MEMO 1” and “MEMO 2”.
In addition to these two location memories, the DA-
98HR can also store 10 more location memories,
which are accessed through the function keys
(
through
As with the punch recording points (6.6, “Punch-in
and punch-out”), it is possible to set and edit these
points in a number of ways.
7.1.1
Setting MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 “on
the fly”
This can be done regardless of the current status of
the tape transport (playing, recording, winding,
stopped, or shuttle).
1
Press the
MEMO 1
or
MEMO 2
key:
.
The current tape position will be stored to the
appropriate location memory (MEMO 1 or
MEMO 2).
The display screen will indicate that the loca-
tion memory point has been stored.
7.1.2
Checking, editing and manually
entering MEMO 1 and MEMO 2
The checking, editing, and manual entry of the
MEMO 1 and MEMO 2 location points are all essen-
tially the same operation. Location points can be
edited and entered to frame accuracy.
1
Go to menu group 0:
If you are only checking the location points,
you can see the value of the location point on
the bottom line of the display screen. As you
move the cursor between
Memo 1
and
Memo 2
, the value shown will change
appropriately. Press
ESCAPE
when you have
finished checking.
2
To edit the points, move the cursor to
Memo
1
or
Memo 2
and press
ENTER
to select the
location point to edit.
3
Use the
Á
and
Ó
keys to select the field you
wish to edit (hours, minutes, seconds or
frames) and the
§
and
¶
keys to change the
value, or you can edit the whole time value
together (4.1.4, “Editing values”).
You can also use the function keys to enter the
value directly, as described in 4.4, “Using the
function keys as number keys”, or the dial to
adjust the values (4.1.7, “Using the dial to
change values”).
7.1.3
Setting the location pre-roll time
When you locate to a location memory (whether it is
one of the MEMO 1 and 2 points or the 10 “function
key” memories), the tape will stop at the memorized
location point, minus a pre-defined pre-roll time.
As shipped, the DA-98HR’s default location pre-roll
time is 0 seconds. You can edit this to a value
between 0 seconds (the tape will locate to the exact
location point) and 59 minutes, 59 seconds, in 1 sec-
ond increments.
NOTE
This pre-roll time is independent of the punch pre-roll time
(6.6.5, “Editing the preroll and postroll times”).

Go to menu group 0, move the cursor to
Loc
Pre
, and press
ENTER
.
2
Use the
Ó
and
