TASCAM 788 Operational Tutorial  •  8/2000 Edition  

Recording & Editing Functions

There are three locate points 
on the surface of the 788 
labeled IN, OUT, and TO.  
These can be used as
standard locate points, 
although these do have a 
specific application with 
editing and auto-punching.  
(These functions will be
addressed in the sections on
editing and auto-punching.)  
The rest of the locate points 
are stored in the LOCATE 
menu of the 788.

To store a locate point in the IN, OUT, or TO points, 
press SHIFT plus the IN, OUT, or TO button.  To recall 
the point, just press the IN, OUT, or TO button.

To store a locate point in any of the other locate 
points, press SHIFT and LOCATE.  The locate point
will be stored in the next available memory point.  

To recall IN, OUT or TO locate 
points, simply press their 
dedicated buttons on the 
surface of the 788.  To recall 
any of the other locate points, 
press LOCATE, dial up the 
locate point you want to 
recall, and press ENTER/YES.

If you want to know the 
time location of any of 
the locate points, you can 
use the LEFT and RIGHT 
ARROW keys to toggle between the locate point titles 
and times. 

If the locate point is close to what you want, but not
exactly where you want, you can adjust the position
of it.  Highlight the locate point you want to adjust
and press TRIM.  The screen will go to the JOG 
window, showing a waveform view so you can more
accurately place the locate point.  To save your new
location, press ENTER/YES.  If you want to get out of
this screen without changing anything, press EXIT/NO.

The normal resolution of the 
locate points would be to the
frame.  This would typically 
yield a 1/30th of a second 
accuracy.  If you want more 
resolution, you can adjust to 
sub-frame accuracy using 10 
sub frames to a frame.  This 
yields a 1/300th of a second 
accuracy.

The time display shows hours, minutes, seconds, frames, 
and sub-frames.  One of these time denominations will 
be underlined; the one that is underlined can be adjusted 
by the JOG/DATA wheel.  To move the cursor around, use 
the arrow keys.  This gives you editing resolution accurate
to the sub-frame. 

The other way to get to sub-frame accurate locate points
is to use the JOG/DATA capabilities mentioned earlier
in this section.  You can enter the JOG/DATA mode by
pressing STOP+PLAY together, then pressing the RIGHT 
CURSOR key until you are zoomed in at 32x aspect ratio.
That scrubs at the sub-frame level.

While 999 locate points will probably mean you won't 
ever run out of locate points, it might be more to 
sort through than you realistically want.  If you want
to delete a locate point, highlight it in the locate 
menu and press DELETE.

The locate points will receive a generic name like 
"Mark_001".  You can give them more descriptive names 
like "NorikzSolo", or whatever you want. To name a 
locate point, press LOCATE to get into the LOCATE menu, 
highlight the locate point you want to name and press 
SHIFT and MENU/TITLE.  You can give it a 10 character 
name.

As you play through the song, 
you may notice that the home 
screen will show you some 
location information.  The 
upper left area will flash 
messages confirming a location 
point has been stored.  The 
section to the right will display 
the last locate point that was 
passed.

To store the current time
to the IN point, press 
SHIFT+ IN.

The OUT and TO locate
registers are set in the same
way.  You can also press 
SHIFT + LOCATE to store 
points in the next available
locate memory point in the
LOCATE menu.

Time locations can be fine
adjusted to sub frame 
accuracy.  Scroll to the sub-
frame column, and adjust 
with the JOG/DATA wheel.
