New front panel "Multi-Paste" edit function
The "Multi-Paste" edit function is now available as the shifted function of the UNDO key.
With In and Out edit points defined and track(s) enabled for editing, Multi-Paste may be
activated. The display will ask "How many times?", and any number may be entered up to 99
using the numeric keypad and/or the jog wheel. Pressing STORE will complete the action.
The result of the action is that audio is copied from between the In and Out points, on edit-
enabled tracks, and pasted the required number of times (minus one to account for the original),
beginning at the Out point. At the end of the operation, the Out point will be updated to point to
the end of the last paste, while the In point will remain unchanged.
NOTE: In previous software versions, Shift + UNDO caused execution of the "Reverse" edit
function. The "Reverse" function may now be accessed via Menu 290 "More Edits" (see below).
Implementation of the MIDI Machine Control "STEP" Command
The addition of this command allows the MX-2424 to respond correctly to the Jog Wheel on the
Mackie Digital 8-Bus Console, which issues STEP commands when the wheel is turned.
(This change has been tested satisfactorily with D8B software version 3.0).
Front panel alphanumeric entry of characters
A front panel alphanumeric entry mode has been added for all data entry areas.
NOTE: The latest hardware will have the letter layout silk screened onto the front panel, the older
hardware will not. If you have older hardware, please contact your local TASCAM Parts
distributor for a sticker that can be applied to the front panel.
