26 TASCAM DM-24 Effects6 – TASCAM effectsThe general effects provided within the DM-24 asdescribed in “Internal Effects on the DM-24” onpage 3 may be used either as in-line inserted effects,or as part of an effect loop, using aux send andreturns.There are no hard and fast rules as to how theseeffects can be used, but on the whole, any effectwhere there is a wet/dry level is suitable for usewithin effect loops, and the others are suitable for useas insert processors.Common parametersThere are three parameters on the top row of thescreen for all of these effects, using PODs 2, 3 and 4.INPUT stands for input level. The input level of thesignal fed to the effect is adjusted using this control.MIX is the wet/dry balance of the output. When setto 0%, the output signal is composed totally of theoriginal signal, and at 100%, it is completely theeffect signal.NOTEThere is a slight unavoidable processing delay on someeffects. If you are using the effect as an insert, youshould probably keep this setting at 100%.OUTPUT The output level from the effect can beadjusted from Off, and then (in 5 dB steps): from–140 dB to –60 dB, (in 1 dB steps) from –60 dB to–20 dB and (in 0.1 dB steps) from –20 dB to 0 dB.Effect parametersThe different parameters for use within these effectsare as follows:ChorusRate Depth Pre- delay Feedback Wet Mix Level Dry level0.1 Hz to 10 Hz(91 steps)0% to 100%(101 steps)0.05 ms to500 ms(101 steps)0% to 90%(91 steps)–40 dB to –0 B(41 steps)–40 dB to +20 dB(61 steps)De-esserThreshold level Knee shape Center Frequency Output level Bypass–40 dB to –1 dB(40 steps)0.50 to 1.00(11 steps)1.0 kHz to 10 kHz(91 steps)–40 dB to _20 dB(61 steps)On/offDelayDelay Time Feedback Time Feedback Level Feedback Type Wet Mix Level Output level0.05 ms to650 ms(651 steps)0.05 ms to650 ms(651 steps)0% to 90%(91 steps)Stereo/Ping-pong/Multi-tap–40 dB to –0 B(41 steps)–40 dB to +20 dB(61 steps)DistortionDrive Ratio Drive Boost EQ Pattern Output level0 to 42(43 steps)x 1 to x32(32 steps)Overdrive 1/2,Distortion 1/2,Amp 1/2–40 dB to +20 dB(61 steps)ExciterSense Frequency Output level Bypass0 to 42(43 steps)1.0 kHz to 10 kHz(91 steps)–40 dB to +20 dB(61 steps)On/offFlangerRate Depth Resonance Delay Wet Mix Level Dry level0.1 Hz to 10 Hz(91 steps)0% to 100%(101 steps)0.00 to 1.00(91 steps)0.05 ms to500 ms(101 steps)–40 dB to –0 B(41 steps)–40 dB to +20 dB(61 steps)Guitar CompressorRatio Attack Output level Bypass0 to 42(43 steps)0.1 ms to 5.0 ms(50 steps)–40 dB to +20 dB(61 steps)On/offPhaserSteps LFO Rate LFO Depth Resonance Output level Bypass1 to 16(16 steps)0.1 Hz to 10 Hz(99 steps)0% to 100%(101 steps)0% to 100%(101 steps)–18 dB to +12 dB(31 steps)On/offPitchSemitone shift Pitch Fine Pre- Delay Feedback Wet Mix Level Dry level–12 to +12(25 steps)–50 to +50(101 steps)0.05 ms to500 ms(91 steps)0% to 90%(91 steps)–40 dB to –0 B(41 steps)–40 dB to +20 dB(61 steps)
