5 – Channel modules : Module setup
86 TASCAM DM-4800 User’s Manual
• Automation status
•Pan mode
Where these settings are made using physical con-
trols, moving one control of the pair will move the
other control of the pair, and will affect the settings.
Only adjacent modules can be linked, with the odd-
numbered module being the left channel of the pair
(that is, 1 and 2 can be linked, but 2 and 3 cannot).
To link modules:
1 Press and hold the
SEL key of one module of
the pair to be linked.
2 Press the
SEL key of the second module. A
popup message appears:
3 Press
ENTER to link the two modules, or a
cursor key to cancel the operation.
• Unlink modules in the same way (press and
hold one
SEL key of the pair, and press the
other
SEL key to bring up a popup message).
It is also possible to use the
ST LINK screen brought up
using the
ST LINK/GROUP key.
Use the cursor keys or channel
SEL keys to move the
cursor and the
ENTER key to make or break links.
No popup message appears when making or break-
ing stereo links in this way.
Balance One major difference between stereo
linked channels and individual mono channels is in
the pan and balance controls (see “Pan and balance
settings” on page 84).
Linked dynamics Another major difference lies
in the way that triggers, etc. are set for the dynamics
processors of the module. See “Dynamics proces-
sors” on page 75 for details of how this works.
Mute groups
In each mute group of channels, there is one master
channel.
Altering the mute status of this master changes the
status of the slave channels of the group.
Slave channels can change their status independently
of the rest of the group. A slave channel can belong
to only one group at a time.
Use the
LINK/GRP key (ALT + 1) to bring up the
links screens:
