5 – Channel modules : Global module settings
72 TASCAM DM-4800 User’s Manual
1 Use POD 3 to switch between the two screens.
2 Use the POD 4 encoder to select phase, gate
switching, compression, compressor/expander
insert point position (pre or post) or EQ on/
off.
3 Use the left/right cursor keys, wheel or
SEL
keys to navigate around the screen and the
ENTER key to turn the following on or off (see
later in this section for details of these channel
features).
Note that the only feature available for the
busses, the aux sends and the stereo buss is the
compressor/expander dynamics processor.
• ∅—reverse (“pressed”) or normal phase (channel
modules 1–64 only)
•
GAT —gate dynamics processor (1–48)
•
CMP —compressor/expander dynamics processor
(1–48, aux, buss and stereo)
• PRE/PST —pre/post EQ point for compressor (1–48)
•
EQ —turns the EQ on and off for that channel mod-
ule (1–48)
It is also possible to use the POD 4 encoder to select
phase, gate switching, compression, software insert
position, compressor position, or EQ on/off as a glo-
bal setting, and use the POD 1 key (
ALL ON ) or POD 2
(
ALL OFF ) to switch these on or off respectively.
Global module settings
These settings are common to the four different mod-
ule screens, and do not change when the module
screen is changed.
Navigate to the appropriate on-screen control, and
use the
ENTER key to turn switches on and off, and
POD 4’s encoder to adjust the fader level and pan/
balance control when these are highlighted.
NOTE
As explained in Figure 4.1, Module facilities on the DM-
4800, not every module is equipped with all these fea-
tures. Only those features available on the currently
selected module are actually shown on the display.
Input and return display Cannot be changed
here, but shows the current input and return assign-
ments.
EQ display and button The EQ display pro-
vides a graphical display of the EQ settings. It cannot
be changed. However, the
EQ button allows the EQ of
the channel to be switched in and out, allowing easy
A-B comparisons.
GATE display and button The GATE display
provides a graphical display of the gate settings, and
cannot be changed. The
GATE button allows the gate
to be switched on and off for A-B comparisons.
COMP/EXP display and COMP button The
COMP/EXP display provides a graphical display of the
current compressor/expander settings, and cannot be
changed. The
COMP button allows the compressor/
expander to be turned on and off for comparison.
Compressor/expander point button Use
this button to change the point at which the compres-
sor/limiter is inserted in the channel between a pre-
EQ (
PRE EQ ) or post-EQ ( POST EQ ) position (channels
1 through 48 only—busses, aux and the stereo buss
are fixed at pre fader).
Meters and pick-off point button Show the
current module levels. The button allows the pick-off
point to be set as follows:
Fader Allows precise setting and echoes the physi-
cal fader setting. When this is highlighted, it can be
controlled using the POD 4 encoder.
