5 – Channel modules : Global module settings
60 TASCAM DM-3200 User’s Manual
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-
3200, not every module is equipped with all these fea-
tures. Only those features available on a selected mod-
ule 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 32 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.
Also see “Fader control” on page 61 for details of
how to view and make fader settings globally.
TIP
You can use the one-step mode for ultra-fine control
here. See “Encoder behavior” on page 23.
MUTE button Allows the module to be muted and
un-muted (echoes the status of the hardware
MUTE
key).
PAN (BALANCE) control Use POD 4 to change
the value of this control (pan changes to balance
when channels are linked).
PAN follow button Use this control like the
buss option described in “BUSS PAN Follows ST
PAN” on page 34.
INSERT button (with linked or stereo modules,
two such buttons are available), allowing you to turn
the soft insert(s) on and off (see “Insert patching” on
page 50) for details.
Phase button (with linked or stereo modules, two
such buttons are available), allowing you to reverse
the phase of the input on the selected channel(s).
