10 - MIDI—Updating the system software
10–5
10.7.2Master Volume
The TM-D4000 responds to the following Master
Volume System Exclusive command.
10.7.3Other System Exclusive messages
As well as the System Exclusive messages described
above, the TM-D4000 uses the following:
• Device Inquiry messages are sent by the TM-
D4000 when the auto detect operation (described
in 9.1.2, “Auto-detection of devices”) is taking
place, to discover what devices are connected using
MIDI. Any devices which are capable of control by
the TM-D4000 are added to the list.
• When MTC is selected as the timecode source, the
TM-D4000 will receive and display MTC Full
Frame messages.
• MTC Full Frame messages may be transmitted by
the TM-D4000.
• When the TM-D4000 is emulating a CS-10 con-
troller, it will respond to System Exclusive mes-
sages for this J. L. Cooper product. Consult the CS-
10 documentation for details of these messages.
• When the TM-D4000 is acting as a controller for
some of the devices in the controlled devices list,
the messages sent out may be System Exclusive
messages which are not mentioned explicitly
above.
• Again, when acting as a controller for some of the
devices in the list, the TM-D4000 may output
MIDI messages such as aftertouch, Program
Change, etc. which are not listed here, and are used
specifically for the control of those devices.
10.8Updating the system software
The system software of the TM-D4000 can be
upgraded without the need for special equipment or
personnel.
As upgrades are released (your TASCAM distributor
will inform you of their availability), you can add
new features to the TM-D4000, including the ability
to control other devices using the Machine Control
screens of the TM-D4000.
Only transfer files for system update which have
been prepared by TASCAM using the method
described here.
