2 - Principles of operation—Fader layers

NOTE
Equalization is only available in the
MODULE
screen. There is no global equal-
ization screen.
2.3.5 Selecting channels
In the case of the
MODULE
screens, which allow
you to adjust the parameters of an individual channel
(or pair of linked channels), it is necessary to select
the channel whose parameters are to be edited. This
is usually done with the individual channels’
SEL
keys.
Pressing the
SEL
key of a channel (or either channel
of a stereo linked pair of channels) will change the
MODULE
screen (when a
MODULE
screen is
already displayed) to allow viewing and setting of
that channel’s parameters.
If the
MODULE
screen is not already displayed,
pressing and holding the
SEL
key of a channel for
about two seconds will bring up the
MODULE
editing screen for that channel, if the appropriate
option is set (see 3.3.5, “Select MODULE return”).
In addition, the
SEL
keys may also be used to jump
around a screen quickly when a lot of channels are
displayed simultaneously, rather than using the cur-
sor keys to select a channel.
The channel faders may also be used to select chan-
nels for editing, together with other optional prefer-
ences concerned with the interface, as described in
3.3.4, “Fader select”.
2.4 Fader layers
The TM-D4000 can handle up to 32 mono inputs,
together with two stereo inputs, and also has eight
busses and six aux sends. However, only 19 faders
are visible.
The way that faders are used is in “layers”—each
layer consisting of 16 faders.
The three right faders always control the two stereo
inputs and the stereo master buss, regardless of the
settings of the other faders, except in the Aux send
mode, where the mono and stereo input faders in the
1-16
and
17-32
layers act as Aux sends. In the
MASTER
layer, even if the Aux send option is
selected, all faders retain their settings.
The three layers are selected using the
LAYER
STATUS
keys (the appropriate indicator will light).
These three keys are interlocking, i.e. only one can
be active at a time, and have the following meanings:
Layer 1
(CH 1-16)
Layer 2
(CH 17-32)
Layer 3
(MASTER)
Channel faders 1–32
8 output busses
6 aux sends

LAYER
STATUS
Meaning
CH 1-16
Faders 1–8 control the inputs from the integral
analog inputs, and faders 9–16 control the
channel inputs from slot 1
CH 17–32
Faders 1–8 control the channel inputs from slot
2, and faders 9–16 control the channel inputs
from slot 3
MASTER
Faders 1–8 control the levels of the signals fed
to the eight output busses. Faders 9–14 control
the levels of the six aux sends. Faders 15 and
16 are unused in this fader layer.
