5 – Channel modules : Surround operations
76 TASCAM DM-3200 User’s Manual
When pan mode is off, the channel settings in the
BUSS ASSIGN screen look like channels 1 through 4 in
Figure 5.30, Surround assignment.
When pan mode is on, the channel settings in the
BUSS ASSIGN screen look like channels 5 through 8 in
Figure 5.30, Surround assignment:
The difference between these is that when pan mode
is off, the channels can be assigned individually to
the surround channels (following Table 5.29, Buss
assignments in surround mode).
When pan mode is on, the channels can be assigned
to the surround matrices as a whole (either 1 or 2).
• In both cases, the POD 3 encoder is used to set
the modules displayed on screen (the
SEL keys
can also be used).
• The POD 4 encoder is used to select the busses
to which the module is assigned, and the
ENTER key is used to assign the module, or
release the module from the assignment.
• The
ASSIGN indicators also mirror the cur-
rent assignment status, and the
ASSIGN keys
can also be used to make or break assign-
ments.
Note that when the pan mode is on, all the
ASSIGN
indicators of one buss group (surround matrix) are
turned on with one key.
Surround panning
There are two ways of viewing and setting the pan
position in the surround modes: an overview and a
detailed channel view (the L-R balance can also be
set in the
FADER screen).
In the overview screen, 24 modules’ basic surround
panning facilities are displayed:
Modules where the pan switch is off (channels 1
through 4 in Figure 5.31, Surround overview) cannot
have any parameters changed.
However, for channels with the pan mode on (chan-
nels 5 through 24 in Figure 5.31, Surround over-
view), the following controls may be used:
• Use the POD 3 encoder to select either sur-
round matrix 1 or 2.
• Use the POD 4 encoder to select the first 24
channel modules or the second 24 modules.
• POD 1 moves the channel position (shown as a
dot in the square) around from left to right
(
LR), and POD 2 moves it from front to rear
(
FR).
NOTE
In this screen, and the module surround screen, settings
are made independently for each channel, regardless of
the current channel link status.
Module screen When the pan mode is on, the
left-right and front-rear pan settings can be made
from the module screen:
