Tascam Fw-1884 Options

glossary point:

A rotary encoder is a digital "pot". there are 2 types of encoders, the old and the new one
In the principles, encoders are "pots" (they are not but it's easier to think this way) that issue not a value (a voltage for example like a normal pot) but data on which direction the pot is turned.

The old type (no more available) issues ASCII caracters in hex, they wear quickly, can not be replaced. They were used mainly in the 80s (like in the synths Oberheim Matrix).

The new type only issues 0 or 1 depending the direction you turn the knob.
