Computer keyboard
You can use your computer's keyboard just as you would use the console's SOFT KEYBOARD screen.
Touch screen

mark is displayed to the left of the IP address. Even if you select a TF series console that does not have a "restricted" mark displayed next to
it and click the CONNECT button, depending on the connection status of other TF Editor and TF StageMix sessions, a message may be
displayed that indicates you cannot connect to the console.
The following sync directions are available.

NOTICE
Information about phantom power
When phantom power is not needed, set the +48V button to the off position.
Observe the following when using phantom power to prevent damage to the console or connected devices, and signal noise.
• Do not set the +48V button to the on position when the device connected to the input jack does not require phantom power.
• Do not connect or disconnect cables when the +48V button is set to the on position.
• Before turning phantom power on or off for a channel, first set the channel's volume to the minimum level.
NOTE
When using phantom power, noise may be generated if there is a difference in the impedance between the hot and cold of the device connected
to an input jack.

6 EQ output level meter
Displays the EQ output level.
7 EQ graph
Displays the parameter settings of the EQ and filter. As you adjust the settings of each band, the results are reflected in the
graph.
When using 1-knob EQ mode, you can adjust the 1-knob level slider.
When using manual mode, you can drag the handles displayed in the graph to adjust the corresponding settings. When HPF
is turned on, you can drag the HPF handle to adjust the cutoff frequency. You can also adjust HPF independently when using
the Intensity type for 1-knob EQ mode.
<1-knob EQ mode> <Manual mode>
How does 1-knob EQ mode work?
1-knob EQ mode allows you to adjust several parameters at once with just one operation. It makes EQ adjustment quick and easy.
The console contains Presets that are configured for a variety of instruments. You can use 1-knob EQ mode to adjust the EQ
settings that are saved in Presets without disturbing the overall balance of your mix.
You can even configure EQ settings using manual mode, then switch to 1-knob EQ mode and use the Intensity type to adjust the
amount of EQ applied to the channel. In this case you can adjust from 0% (no EQ applied) to 50% (the EQ settings you made using
manual mode) and 100% (increased intensity of the EQ settings you made using manual mode). This makes it very easy to fine-
tune your EQ settings with just one operation.
If 1-knob EQ mode type is set to Vocal or Loudness, you can adjust the EQ between 0% (no EQ applied) and 100% (maximum EQ
applied).
8 Keyboard display
You can click the bottom of the graph where no parameters are displayed to display a keyboard. This helps you visualize how
the frequencies correlate to musical pitches.

How does 1-knob COMP mode work?
1-knob COMP mode allows you to adjust the amount of compression applied to the signal with one operation. By sliding the 1-knob
level slider to the right, more compression is applied. In situations where raising the fader or gain could cause clipping at louder
points in the signal, compression can deliver a more consistent sound.
1-knob COMP takes some of the worry out of compression by allowing you to adjust the balance between threshold, ratio and out
gain easily.

AUTOMIXER screen
Sets the AUTOMIXER that can be used for CH1–CH8.
About the AUTOMIXER
The AUTOMIXER is a function for automating the sound mixing of conversation heard in conferences, talk shows and so on. This
function detects mics that are enabled and automatically optimizes the gain distribution to maintain a consistent system gain with
multiple mics, eliminating the need for the engineer to keep watching the fader levels.
How the AUTOMIXER works
The TF series AUTOMIXER uses the Dugan speech system, which automatically adjusts the gain of up to 8 mics.
Unlike limiters or auto-level controllers, the Dugan speech system lets the engineer control individual levels as usual, even when
more than one person is talking at the same time. Also, the audio on the mics is detected and the gain is automatically distributed
when no one is talking, so the faders can be left up.
1 AUTOMIXER ON button
Turns the AUTOMIXER on/off for the respective channel.
When one person speaks, while using multiple mics When two people speak, while using multiple mics
When one person talks, the gain on that mic instantly rises, and the
gain on other mics is lowered. This works the same when another
person speaks.
When two people talk at the same time, the gain between the two mics
is automatically distributed to provide a uniform total gain, and the gain
on the remaining mic is lowered.
NOTE
• The AUTOMIXER is placed directly after the channel ON for CH1–CH8.
• When the Pre button for SEND TO AUX on CH1–CH8 is off, signal is sent from directly after the AUTOMIXER to the AUX bus.
• When CH1–CH8 are stereo linked together, the AUTOMIXER parameters will not be linked.
NOTE
We recommend that you leave the AUTOMIXER off for audio that does not contain speech components, such as live concerts.

2 Level indicator
Use this indicator to check whether the input gain going into the AUTOMIXER is appropriate.
Off: No input signal, or not enough input level
Lighted green: Input gain is appropriate
Lighted red:Overload input

Displays the gain that was adjusted using the AUTOMIXER.
4 Weight indicator
Displays the value that was set in the 5 Weight text box as a bar graph.
5 Weight text box
Adjusts the signal level inputted into the AUTOMIXER side chain. When this is set to the same value as other channels, the
gain of audio signals that are inputted at the same time will be equally distributed. When this value is increased, the gain of
audio signals that are inputted at the same time will be distributed to create a louder sound compared with other channels.
Setting range: -100.0 dB, -29.5 dB–0.0 dB (default setting)–15.0 dB
6 Group selection button
Selects whether to assign either AUTOMIXER group a or b. You can use groups to independently create two types of mixes.

NOTE
• When using a touchpanel display, the program may not respond to touchpanel operations as expected if you perform several touchpanel
operations in a short time. In this case, use a mouse or trackpad temporarily, or temporarily move the program to the background.
• If there are too many files displayed in the left pane, it may take more time than expected to sort or select items. This is not a malfunction;
wait for the program to respond. We recommend keeping the number of files displayed in the left pane to less than 1000.
• When displaying a folder in the left pane of the Manage Library/Scene screen, do not perform any operations on that folder directly using
your computer's File Explorer or Finder. If you do, it may take more time than expected to refresh the Manage Library/Scene screen.
