7 – Module operations—Linked modules60 TASCAM DM-24 Reference ManualUnit Change the delay units between samples (SP)and milliseconds (ms) using POD 3 at the bottom leftof the screen.Fader control At the top of the screen is a buttonwhich allows the faders to be used for setting thedelay (as described in “Using the faders to changevalues” on page 14).Setup A master delay setting can be applied toselected channels by moving the cursor to the bottomleft position setting the desired value with POD 1 andpressing ENTER.The scope of the setting is determined using POD 2:either ALL, EVEN (even-numbered channels), ODD(odd-numbered channels), 1-8, 9-16 or 17-24.When ENTER is pressed, a popup message appears(Ch parameters setup?). Press ENTER again to con-firm, or a cursor key to cancel.PRE/POST The delay can be applied pre-or post-fader. This setting is made globally, for all 24 chan-nels and cannot be made individually.Move the cursor to the bottom right of the screen,and turn POD 4 to select between PRE and POST faderoperation.Linked modulesModules which may be linked in stereo pairs must beadjacent to each other, with the odd-numbered mod-ule of the pair being the lower-numbered. That is,modules 3 and 4 may be linked, but modules 4 and 5may not.When modules have been linked, pressing the SELkey of one module of the pair selects the pair.The parameters and settings which are shared by thepair are:Channels Digital Trim, Gate (only Ch1-16), Com-pressor, EQ, Aux1-6 (Pre/Post, Level), Mute, FaderLevel, Assign, Delay, Solo (On/Off, Defeat setup),Input select, Aux1-2 select, Compressor insert point,Assignable send/return, Grouping.Master modules Compressor, Mute (except Ste-reo), Fader Level, Assign.Linking and unlinking modulesModules may be linked either by means of the link-ing screen (see the section on groups for details) orby means of the SEL keys if the option has been set(“ST Link by SEL key” on page 21).1 Press and hold down the SEL key of one ofthe pair of modules to be linked.2 Press the SEL key of the other module in thepair to be linked.To unlink modules, repeat the process (press andhold down one SEL key of the pair, and press theother SEL key).NOTEWhen two faders are linked, you may find that movingboth faders together produces a feeling of stiffness inthe controls, as each fader is constantly attempting tokeep up with the other. We suggest that in the case oftwo linked faders, you only move one fader. Even if themovement of a fader may seem a little rough or jerkywhen you are moving the other fader of the pair, it isonly the physical control that exhibits this symptom.The change in the actual signal level of the secondchannel will be as smooth as the fader movement thatyou are making.
