2 – Basic operational concepts : Options34 TASCAM DM-3200 Owner’s ManualWhile the FADER SENSITIVITY on-screen button isswitched ON and this screen is visible, touching anyof the faders with your fingers will illuminate theSTATUS/OL indicator for as long as the fader istouched. This provides a useful check for the sensi-tivity of the faders.PREFERENCESThe following general working preference settingsare available from this screen:Fader Auto MODULE Select When enabled,this option allows a module to be selected wheneverits fader is touched, in addition to the usual methodof pressing the SEL key. In some screens, when thisoption is enabled, this may only mean that the mod-ule shown at the top left of the screen changes whenits fader is touched.CH SOLO Key Auto MODULE Select Whenthis is enabled, soloing a channel using the SOLOkey brings up the MODULE screen.Select MODULE Return When checked, thisoption allows the MODULE screen of the appropriatemodule to appear if the SEL key of the module ispressed and held for about two seconds.ST Link by SEL key When checked, this optionallows the stereo linking of two adjacent modules(provided the left module of the pair is odd-num-bered) by pressing and holding the SEL key of onemodule and pressing the SEL key of the other.SEL Key Follows Fader Layer Status allowsthe setup of the automatic linking of the selectedchannel to the selected meter layer.When this option is selected, if a channel is selected,the fader layer is changed, and then the fader layer ischanged back again, the originally-selected channelis automatically selected.For example, if this option is active, and SEL 2 key islit with fader layer 1-16 active, fader layer 17-32 isthen selected, SEL key 3 (channel 19) is selected, andthen fader layer 1-16 is then re-selected, SEL key 2will be active.If the option is not active, no SEL key which is litremains lit when the fader layer is changed.Meter Follows SEL key When this option ischecked, the meter layer automatically changes whenthe appropriate SEL key is pressed (see “Meters andfaders” on page 79). The modes are as follows:Automation fader OFF When this option isactive (checked), in automation mode, when theautomated mix is being read (played back), the fadersdo not move.Balance Level CENTER:0dB When two chan-nels are linked together as a stereo pair, the pan con-trols change to a balance control. In the centerposition, the level may either be set to 0dB (checked)or a 3dB cut (unchecked).AUX Mute follows CH Mute When this ischecked, Aux sends from a channel are muted whenthe channel is muted.Encoder Mode Follows Current ScreenThis option switches the encoder function automati-cally (see “Encoders” on page 20) when a relevantscreen (e.g. an aux send global screen) is selected.Current Screen Follows Encoder ModeThe converse of the previous option; when theencoder mode is changed, the appropriate screen isshown.BUSS PAN Follows ST PAN When checked,and the BUSS PAN mode is ON, this option allowsthe stereo pan channel control to control the balancebetween the odd and even busses. No effect in sur-round mode.Figure 2.32: The PREFERENCES screenFader layer SEL keys Meter layerCH 1–16 CH 1–16 CH 1–24CH 17–32 CH 17–24 CH 1–24CH 25–32 CH 25–48CH 33–48 CH 33–48 CH 25–48BUSS 1–16 BUSS 1–16 BUSS 1–16AUX 1–8 AUX 1–8 AUX 1–8
