TASCAM SX-1
Reference Manual

To operate the touch function:
1
Enable write mode.
2
Press and hold the
TOUCH
key.
3
While holding the
TOUCH
key, use the con-
trol to begin overwriting the existing previ-
ous mix moves for that control.
4
Release the
TOUCH
key. The control contin-
ues to write until a new move is written or
until
REVERT
is pressed.
If a new move is written, the revert action
follows the settings made on the
AUTO MAIN
screen.
REHEARSE/ALL SAFE
The
REHEARSE/ ALL
SAFE
key enables the write automation Rehearse
mode.
Press
SHIFT
+
REHEARSE/ ALL SAFE
to prevent
automation from being written at all. This All Safe
mode places all controls on the mixer into Safe. The
result is that no automation can be written and mov-
ing a control will not affect the audio going through
that control.
WRITE/INIT EDIT
Use the
WRITE/ INIT EDIT
key
to enable Global Write mode. The Write mode must
be enabled (as indicated by the
WRITE/ INIT EDIT
key’s associated LED) in order for touch automation
to function. Press
SHIFT
+
WRITE/ INIT EDIT
to enter
the Init Edit mode.
Init Edit allows editing of any control's initial status
as described above. Exiting Init Edit saves the edit.
There is no Undo for this operation. The
INIT
DISCARD
is used to Undo an Init Edit (see below).
TRIM/INIT DISCARD
The
TRIM/ INIT DISCARD
key enables the Global Trim mode. Trim automation
allows you to add or subtract values from your cur-
rent automation data. For example, if automation
data already exists, entering the Trim mode and than
pushing the fader up will add this extra value to the
track’s already recorded automation. Pressing
SHIFT
+
TRIM/ INIT DISCARD
throws out any changes
made while Init Edit is active. This must be done
before exiting the Init Edit status.
REVERT/AUTO FADE
Press
REVERT
to cause
any controls currently Writing or Trimming to exit
Write/Trim and transition back to the setting they
held prior to the Write or Trim operation. The
amount of time taken for this transition is determined
by the setting of the Write Revert Time and Trim
Revert Time parameters.
SHIFT
+
REVERT/ AUTO FADE
automatically fades
the Master Fader out over a specified time (this time
is also set from the
Global
tab). Auto Fade operations
must be performed in either Write or Trim mode.
Auto Fade operations may be rehearsed using the
Rehearse mode.
