Control Details
Generally the FW-1082’s surface controls will function as expected, controlling their like
parameters in Sonar. For example: Faders, Mutes, Solos and Transport Control will
control those parameters in Sonar. Exceptions and specific details follow:
Additional Transport Keys
SET + REW = RTZ
SET + FF = Go to Tail
IN locates to the beginning of the selection area
OUT locates to the end of the selection area
SET + IN sets Punch IN point at the current playhead position
SET + OUT sets Punch OUT point at the current playhead position
SET + REC starts automation recording. A parameter must be armed for automation.
SHIFT + SET + IN sets Loop In Point at the current playhead position
SHIFT + SET + OUT sets Loop Out Point at the current playhead position
SHIFT + IN = sets Selection In Point at the current playhead position
SHIFT + OUT = sets Selection Out Point at the current playhead position
<<LOCATE locates to previous marker
LOCATE>> locates to next marker
SET + LOCATE>> = Drop Marker at the current playhead position
Transport Wheel
• Turn the data wheel clockwise to jog forward or counter-clockwise to jog
backward.
• When the SHTL key is off, the data wheel moves the transport in one measure
steps. Holding the SHIFT key reduces this to one-beat steps.
• When the SHTL key is on, the data wheel moves the transport in 1000-tick steps.
Holding the SHIFT key reduces this to 100-tick steps.
Special Keys
SHIFT + PLAY toggles the Audio Engine On/Off
SHIFT + STOP Resets Sonar
SHIFT + any SOLO key will un-solo all tracks.
SELect Keys
Pressing an FW-1082 SELect key alone will select that channel in Sonar. Holding
SHIFT while pressing SELect sets that channel’s fader to Unity in Sonar.
Holding the red REC key while pressing a SELect key will record-enable/disable that
track.
Pan & EQ
When the EQ/PAN LED is illuminated:
• The lowest of the four encoders shown at
right will control the Pan parameter of the
SELected channel in Sonar.
• The encoders labeled as GAIN,
FREQuency and Q will control those
parameters of the EQ band selected by the
illuminated buttons on the SELected
channel in Sonar. Bands 1-4 of Sonar’s
Channel EQ is supported.
• The first time an EQ Band key is pressed,
it selects the appropriate lower band,
pressing the same button again selects a
higher band. In this way, up to eight
bands can be controlled. (Note: The
Sonar Channel Strip EQ does not support
external control of more than four bands.)
• Holding SHIFT while pressing an EQ
band key will enable/disable that EQ
band.
• Holding the SET key while pressing an
EQ band key will toggle through the
available EQ curve types.
Sonar can come with up to three types of EQ,
depending on the version you have. The FW-1802 can be set to control any of the three:
• Hold the EQ/PAN key while pressing one of the top three EQ band buttons to
select an EQ:
o EQ HI = Channel Strip Sonitus
o EQ HI MID = Plug-in Sonitus
o EQ LO MID = Plug-in FX EQ
Aux
When AUX 1-4 or AUX 5-8 is illuminated:
• The four encoders control the level of Aux Sends 1 – 4 or Aux Sends 5 – 8 of the
SELected channel in Sonar.
• Holding SHIFT while turning and encoder will adjust that Aux Send Pan.
• The four keys toggle Aux Send 1 – 4 enable/disable or Aux Send 1 – 5
enable/disable of the SELected channel in Sonar.
• Holding SHIFT while pressing one of the four keys toggles the Pre/Ppost state for
that Aux Send of the SELected channel in Sonar.
F-Key Shortcuts
The functions of the F-Keys are programmable in Sonar by selecting TASCAM FW-1082
under the Tools menu. The screen below will appear where you can configure the F-
Keys and save/load configurations.
Factory default settings are shown here:
F1 = Save
F2 = Undo
F3 = Copy
F4 = Paste
SHIFT + F1 = Enter
SHIFT + F2 = Redo
SHIFT + F3 = Cut
SHIFT + F4 = Delete
Arrow (Cursor) Keys
Use the Arrow keys to navigate around the on-screen menus, sub-menus and menu items.
Master Fader Assignment
You can switch the master fader assignment to the next or previous virtual main by
holding down SET while you press either the <BANK or BANK> key. The BANK LED
indicators will show which virtual Master the master fader is being assigned to.
Bank Keys
Press the BANK> key or the <BANK key, to shift the FW-1082's controls to the next 8 or
previous 8 channels, respectively.
Hold SHIFT and press the BANK> key or the <BANK key, to shift the FW-1082's controls
to the next or previous channel, respectively.
Hold SET and press the BANK> key to re-map all faders, mutes, solos and pans to Output
Busses (Master, Groups, Aux Sends) in groups of 8. The corresponding BANK LED will
flash when in this mode.
Hold SET and press the <BANK key to go to previous Output Busses or switch back to
normal track operation.
Flip
Pressing EQ/PAN while holding SHIFT will toggle Flip mode. While in Flip mode, the
faders can be used to control channel pan.
