TASCAM HS-20
6 – Overview of operation modes
This unit has the following three operation modes.
o Timeline mode
This mode provides a timeline-based working environment
similar to using a tape recorder. In timeline mode, two tracks
can be recorded and played back. Marks can also be edited.
o Take mode
This mode uses takes (files) as recording and playback units.
Two tracks can be recorded and one or two tracks can
played back. Marks can also be edited.
o Playlist Mode
This mode provides a playlist playback function.
One or two tracks can be played using playlist playback.
Timeline mode functions
The following functions can be used in timeline mode.
o Simultaneous recording and playback of up to two
channels is possible at all compatible sampling
frequencies.
o Mirror recording function utilizing dual slots.
o Recording and playback with timecode synchronization is
possible. (The optional SY-2 board is required.)
o A single file can be created from a designated time
interval in a timeline using the bounce function.
o Marks can be set, managed, edited and used for playback.
o Compatibility with the AES31 file standard allows import
and exchange of data with other devices.
NOTE
Since the AES31 file standard does not support sampling
frequencies of 176.4kHz and 192kHz, editing information
for those settings is created and saved in an original format
based on AES31.
In timeline mode, playback units are called “regions,” and their
extent is shown in the track area of the Home Screen.
