TASCAM 2488neo

2 − Setting up and basic knowledge

Many keys have two functions: the first is written in nor-
mal (white) type, and the second is written under this in
white on a green background.

To access these second shifted functions:

1 Press the

SHIFT

key so that the indicator lights.

2 Press the key whose second function you want to

use. The

SHIFT

indicator goes out.

NOTE

As the 2488neo is shipped from the factory, if you
press the SHIFT key and do not press another key
within a second or so, the SHIFT indicator goes out.
This prevents you from accessing unwanted functions
by accident. If you hold down the SHIFT key while you
are looking for the next key, it will stay on.

You can change this behavior so that the SHIFT key
becomes a non-latching key—that is, you have to
press and hold it while you are pressing the other
key, or a latching key that stays on until the other key
is pressed. See “Shift key behavior” on page 97 f
or
details of how to make this change.

Several shifted functions are not indicated on the panel.
