12–2
The
EFFECT
key brings up the
EFFECTOR
library screen, allowing management and naming,
etc. of effect processor library entries.
The
EQ
key brings up the
EQ
library screen, allow-
ing management and naming, etc. of equalization set-
ting library entries.
The
DYNAMICS
key brings up the
DYNAMICS
library screen, allowing management and naming,
etc. of dynamics processor library entries.

Conguration ke ys
These keys are used to make conguration changes
and settings to the TM-D4000 system. These keys
are all “shiftable”, i.e. they have two functions, as
determined by the
SHIFT
key. This is explained in
2.3.1, “Selecting screens”.
The
GROUPING – ST LINK
key is used to assign
fader and cut groups, and make stereo links, as
described in 4.9, “Fader and cut groups” and 4.2,
“Stereo linking”.
The
EXT.CTRL – MIDIMC
key is used to view and set
parameters related to MIDI functions of the TM-
D4000 and external machine control.
In unshifted mode, it is used to perform control func-
tions specic to the e xternal device selected for such
control.
These functions are discussed in the appropriate sec-
tions (9, “Machine Control” and 10, “MIDI”).
The
OPTION – DELAY
key is used to set system
options (see 3, “System setup”) and (shifted) to set
buss delays.
The
DIGITAL I/O–AUTOMATION SET UP
key allows
the setting up of the word clock, digital inputs and
outputs, and cascade settings. See 3.2, “CLOCK
setup”, 3.1, “I/O setup” and 11, “Cascade” for
details. Automation setup, as explained in the Auto-
mation manual (as well as the MTC generator opera-
tion—see 9.4.1, “MIDI timecode generator”) is also
performed using this key).
12.2Mixing keys
NOTE
This block of keys is the “heart” of the TM-
D4000. These keys provide the methods to
perform the usual operations carried out on
analog consoles (EQ, aux sends, assign-
ments, etc.) as well as the specialized func-
tions which are only possible with the TM-
D4000 (internal effector, dynamic processing,
etc.). Make sure that you familiarize yourself
with the operation and functions of these
keys—you will probably nd y ourself using
this section more than any other part of the
TM-D4000. See 4, “Module operations” for
details.
These keys are all used to bring up screens which
control the mixer functions of the TM-D4000
through the display screen and the PODs. For the
most part, these are dedicated, single-function keys,
but in some cases, repeated presses of a key will
bring up different, but related screens.

FADER POSITION key
This key may be used when to view the position of
the faders (see 4.10, “Checking fader and cut sta-
tus”).
[7]
AUX 1 through AUX 6 keys
These keys all provide similar functions for the six
Aux buss sends. The only difference between the
Aux busses is that busses 1 and 2 can be selected to
be pre-or post-fader, while the other busses are all
post-fader only. See 4.5, “Aux sends”.
[8]
PAN/BAL–SURROUND key
This key provides a way in which many channels can
have their pan (and balance, in the case of stereo
linked pairs) viewed and adjusted (see 4.7, “Pan and
balance”).
If a surround mode has been selected (see 6, “Sur-
round modes”), pressing this key brings up a screen
allowing the viewing and adjustment of the channel’s
position in the surround image.
[9]
MODULE key
This key allows the setting of many parameters
affecting one input channel or a stereo pair of input
channels. The stereo inputs and the
STEREO OUT
module may also be selected for viewing and editing
using the screens here. See 4, “Module operations”
for details.
NOTE
Equalization is a module-only setting—there
is no global “EQ” key.
