4 – Routing & assignment : RoutingTASCAM DM-3200 User’s Manual 47• Assignment of modules to the 16 busses as well asto the stereo busses is carried out by dedicated keys(to the left of the display).• Assignment of physical hardware inputs to mod-ules, and of internal components to physical hard-ware outputs, together with the internal patchingbetween mixer sections, as well as the setting up ofthe “soft” inserts, is done in the ASSIGN screens (see“Routing” on page 47).RoutingUse the ROUTING screens to set up the routing of inputsources to modules, etc. as well as to set outputs.There are three of these screens: one for INPUT, onefor OUTPUT and one for the soft INSERTS.To enter these screens, press the ROUTING key untilthe appropriate screen is shown on the display.NOTEAssignment of channels to busses is done by means ofthe buss keys to the left of the display, or by means ofthe ASSIGN screens (use the ASSIGN key here).Input routingThe INPUT screen allows you to select input sourcesfrom a list composed of (mainly) the physical inputsof the DM-3200, and route them to input destinations(channels and dynamics triggers).1 Select the source group with the POD 4encoder.The input sources are as follows, as listed atthe lower right of the screen (1 in Figure 4.2,Routing inputs):2 Select the destination layer of these inputsources by using the POD 3 encoder (2 in Fig-ure 4.2, Routing inputs). Choose between:If either of the first two options is selected,each destination module is shown in the listwith an INP (input) and RTN (return) availablefor routing selection. Channels 33 through 48only present the input (though this has onlyreturn capabilities).3 Use the cursor keys to select the source field(either the input or return in the case of chan-nels 1 through 32), and use the dial to selectthe input source (from the available sourceswithin the selected source block).4 You must then press ENTER to confirm therouting selection.Figure 4.2: Routing inputsM/L Mic/line input channels (see “Mic/lineconnections” on page 39).TDIF1/TDIF2/TDIF3The three built-in TDIF 8-channel input ports(see “TDIF I/O” on page 40).ADAT The eight optical “lightpipe” inputs(see“ADAT “lightpipe” OUT & IN” onpage 40).DIN The two stereo digital inputs (see “Digitalinputs and outputs” on page 40).ASN RTN The four analog assignable returns (see“Analog inputs” on page 33).312EFF RTN The internal effect returns (see “Insertpatching” on page 50).2TRIN The 2-track master recorder inputs (see “2TR IN” on page 39).OSC Internal oscillatorSLOT1/SLOT2 The inputs provided by any cards fitted to theslots (see “Slot card configuration” onpage 42 for details).LOOPBACKoptionsExplained below (“Loopback options” onpage 48).CH 1-16 Channel modules 1 through 16CH 17-32 Channel modules 17 through 32CH 33-48 Channel modules 33 through 48DYN TRIGGER The eight dynamics processor triggers alsodescribed in “Trigger settings” on page 65
