Chapter 2: Recording on the DPS12

MAIN screen and TRACK VIEW screen

The MAIN screen or TRACK VIEW screen can be useful when you are recording or playing back on the DPS12.

(You can use the transport function and the locate function on either screen.) This section explains how to use the

MAIN screen and TRACK VIEW screen.

MAIN screen

The MAIN screen is a start point for various operations on the DPS12. When you turn on the power to the DPS12,

this screen always appears if a formatted disk (that contains a Project) is in the disk slot. The following informa-

tion is included in the MAIN screen.

1 Time counter

The time counter indicates the current recording or playback time. You can also enter a time value here to

move to the desired position. (See page 47.)

2 Remaining time

This field indicates a remaining time available for recording on the JAZ disk (or a connected external hard

disk). If some tracks have been selected by the [RECORD SELECT] keys, this field indicates the total of

available recording time on those tracks. If all [RECORD SELECT] keys are turned off, this field indicates

available recording time for a single track.

3 Busy meter

This meter indicates that the inserted JAZ disk (or the connected external hard disk) is being accessed. The

more the meter is moving, the more frequently the disk is being accessed.

4 Disc access indicator

This indicator lights up when the disk is being accessed.

CAUTION :

Do not turn off the power to the DPS12 while the disk is being accessed. Otherwise, the

JAZ disk or connected external hard disk may be damaged, and the data may be lost forever.

5 Level meter

The level meters indicate input levels and output levels. The meters have two different functions: TRACK level

meter and INPUT level meter. These functions are switched via the [F1] key/ [F2] key. (

mark appears on the selected function’s name.)
