TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 497 – Module operationsThe DM-24’s modules are controlled by a series ofscreens which allow the viewing and control of theparameters which can be set for each module.For the most part, modules have the same parametersavailable to them. If there are difference betweenmodule options, these are explained in the appropri-ate section.There are four module screens, accessed using the“soft keys” by the PODs. These screens control thechannel dynamics processing, EQ, the aux sends, andgeneral setup parameters.There is also a “common area”, which is always visi-ble, regardless of the module screen currently visible.The different parameters visible on each screen aregiven here:On-screen controls are operated as explained in“User interface” on page 12 (the dial and cursor keysare used to navigate so that a control is highlighted,and the value changed with the PODs and theENTER key).Selecting modulesTo select a module for editing using these modulescreens, press the MODULE key J to place the unitin module editing mode, followed by the SEL key nof the module to be edited.If two modules have been linked as a stereo pair,pressing the SEL key of either module of the pair willbring up the screen allowing control of both modules(see the section on “Linked modules” on page 60 forfurther details).It is possible to reverse this order; that is, press theSEL key and then the MODULE key.In addition, even if the MODULE key has not beenpressed (the DM-24 is not in module editing mode),it is possible to configure the DM-24 so that pressingand holding the SEL key of a module for more thantwo seconds will automatically select that module’sediting screen (“Select MODULE Return” onpage 21).It is also possible to select the module for editing(when the MODULE screen (or the DYNAMICS screen)is displayed) by touching the module’s fader, ratherthan pressing the SEL key (“Fader Auto MODULESelect” on page 21).Screen ParametersCommon area Dynamics switch, compressor insert,phase switch, assignable insert switch,buss assignment, EQ switch, EQ graph a,dynamics grapha , mute switch, fader,mute/fader groupinga, input sourceb,meter a, metering point, digital trim, panDYNAMICS Dynamics processor parametersEQ EQ parametersAUX Aux send levels, source selectSETUP Channel source, gate switch, aux 1–2source, compressor insert, compressorswitch, assignable insert, assignable insertswitch, phase, channel delaya.
