TASCAM DM-24 Automation
Initial Status
The Initial Status of a control is its value before the
first dynamic mix move is present. Until dynamic
mix moves are written to a control, there is no differ-
ence between the Initial Status of the control and its
Static position.
When dynamic mix moves are written to a control,
that control is no longer in Static mode. It is in
Dynamic mode.
Any change to the mix data on such a control takes
into account both the Initial Status of the control and
any Dynamic data present.
Editing the Initial Status
Once a control is in Dynamic mode, any new mix
moves written to that control will be dynamic mix
moves. If it becomes necessary to alter a control’s
starting point (Initial Status) before the first dynamic
move written, Initial Edit is used.
