5 – Channel modules : Module setup70 TASCAM DM-3200 User’s ManualModule setupThe fourth channel module screen is called the SETUPscreen and allows the setting of general parametersaffecting the use of the module. Note the block dia-gram at the top of this screen, showing the currentconfiguration of the channel module, along with theenabled/disabled status of the components (dynamicsprocessors, EQ, etc.). As changes are made to the set-ting, this block diagram is updated to reflect the cur-rent status of the module:As with the other module screens, the cursor keys areused to move a box around the screen, and the PODencoders and ENTER key are used to make changesto the parameters.NOTENote that buss modules allow the setting of Aux 1–2level and pan here, together with stereo level and pan.Aux modules provide only stereo level and pan here,and the stereo buss provides only Aux 1–2 level andpan.INPUT/RETURN selection On channels 1through 32, as explained earlier, two different inputsmay be selected, which may be switched or “flipped”globally in blocks of eight (“Flipping the channels”on page 48) or may be changed on this screen usingthe on-screen INVERT SRC (source invert) button (POD1, first row).When you press ENTER, a popup message askingyou to press ENTER once more to confirm the flipoperation (or a cursor key to cancel).GATE switching Use POD 2 on the first row as arotary switch to turn the gate for the module on oroff.AUX 1-2 SOURCE It is suggested that the aux 1and 2 sends are used as studio foldback (cue) sends.The fourth POD control on the first row of this screenallows you to choose pre-fader or post-fader inputs orthe return channel to be used as the feed to aux 1-2(this is independent of the input return selection).Dynamics insert point Depending on the basictype of processor (compressor or expander) that hasbeen recalled from the library, the screen may showCOMP (compressor) or EXP (expander). Use POD 1 tomove the insert point pre- or post-EQ.Dynamics on/off Depending on the basic type ofprocessor (compressor or expander) that has beenrecalled from the library, the screen may show COMP(compressor) or EXP (expander) here. Use the POD 2encoder (second line) to turn this dynamics processoron or off.Assignable insert position Use the POD 3encoder (second line) to turn the insert point of theassignable “soft” insert to pre- or post-fader position.Phase control Use the POD 1 encoder of row 3 toreverse the input phase of the channel module. If twochannels are linked, then a phase control for eachchannel will be shown (POD 1 and POD 2). Also, see“Phase/trim/delay” on page 71 below.Module delay A delay can be applied to channelson an individual basis, to compensate for the latencyof other equipment, the acoustic delays caused bymicrophone placement, etc. The delay time can beexpressed in milliseconds or in samples.The delay point can also be set to be pre- or post-module (see also “Delay” on page 72).Use the POD 3 encoder to set the delay time (in0.1ms or single sample steps).Move the cursor to the pre-post field and chooseeither pre- or post-module delay.The maximum delay time is 16383 samples, at everysampling frequency. In milliseconds, this equates to:Figure 5.16: Channel module SETUP screenFS Maximum delay (ms)44.1 371.548 341.388.2 185.796 170.7Table 5.17: Channel delay
