5 – Channel modules : Module setup74 TASCAM DM-3200 User’s ManualUse the cursor to highlight a group (numbered at theside of the screen) and use the channel SEL keys toadd the channels to the group. Change fader layers ifnecessary, to add other channels to the group.The first channel added to the group becomes themaster, marked by a solid “blob”. The SEL keyflashes, when the group is highlighted on screen.Other channels can be added to the group followingthe master, marked by hollow “blobs” (if a channelalready belongs to a group as a slave, it is removedfrom its original group). Slave channels in a grouphave their SEL key lit.To remove a channel from a group, press its SEL keyso that it is unlit.Clearing groups Pressing the flashing masterSEL key brings up a popup panel:Pressing ENTER removes the whole group (cursorkeys cancel the clear operation and leave the group asis).The POD 4 switch or ENTER turn the highlightedgroup on or off, but do not clear the settings.Grouping groups A group can become a sub-group of another group, using the matrix at the bot-tom of the screen.Move the cursor so that it highlights a master group(down the left side of the matrix—the SEL key corre-sponding to the master group lights) and use SELkeys 1 through 8 (regardless of layer) to set sub-groups.A “tree” diagram appears at the side of the matrix asyou set up the groups:In Figure 5.26, Grouping groups, group 5 is con-trolled by group 3, which in turn is controlled(together with group 6) by group 4.In other words, the MUTE key of the master channelof group 4 affects the MUTE keys of all channels ofgroups 3, 5 and 6.Linking fader groups to mute groups Theon-screen MUTE->FADER LINK button allows the set-tings made for the mute groups to be transferred tothe fader groups.Fader groupsThese work in the same way as for mute groups. Master and slave channels are set for each groupusing the SEL keys, and groups can be grouped inexactly the same way as mute groups.Groups can be turned on and off.Although these settings and actions are independentof the mute group settings described above, there is aFADER->MUTE LINK on-screen button that allows thesettings made for the fader groups to be transferred tothe mute group settings.TIPEither fader or mute groups can also be used as thesource for “solo groups”, where pressing the SOLO keyof the master channel will solo all slave channels.
