4 – Routing & assignment : Channel-to-buss assignment52 TASCAM DM-3200 User’s ManualUse the POD 3 encoder to select banks of eight chan-nel modules at a time, and the display changes asthese are selected. You can also select busses ingroups of eight, as well as the aux sends (see below).Use the wheel or left and right cursor keys to navi-gate round the screen (you can also use the SEL keysor fader selection), and the ENTER key to assign andde-assign busses or the stereo (ST) or direct outputs(DIR). As you make and break these assignments, theindicators by the control surface keys mirror thescreen settings (and the other way round).Pan switch There is an invisible “pan switch”which links and unlinks pairs of busses (this alsodepends on the linked pan mode).When this switch is set, and busses are linked, theyare also joined for panning and they are assigned inpairs.However, when this switch is not set, the buss pairscan be split for individual assignment.• Pressing and holding the SHIFT key whilepressing one of the ASSIGN keys operates asplit or join function on a buss pair, allowingbusses to be individually assigned when split.In Figure 4.7, Buss assignments with the pan switchoff, channel module 3 is selected, and assigned onlyto buss 3, which has been separated from buss 4.The linked pan mode (“BUSS Link/BUSS PAN areLinked” on page 35) also determines whether split-ting a buss pair either splits the busses for channelsindividually (as in the example screen above), or alltogether for all channels. When this parameter is setoff, buss pairs may be split individually, and when itis on, buss pairs are split together.Note that buss assignment is also connected to mod-ule linking. In this illustration, channels 1 and 2 arelinked, but are assigned to busses 1 and 2. In thiscase, the assignments are linked, so assigning chan-nel 1 to buss 1 also links channel 2 to buss 1.Figure 4.7: Buss assignments with the pan switchoff
