52 TASCAM DP-32SD9 - Using Internal EffectsThis chapter explains the dynamic effects, guitar effects, andsend effects that can be applied to individual mic and guitarinputs.You can select one of four types of dynamic effects(COMPRESSOR, NOISE SUPPRESSOR, DE-ESSER, EXCITER) for usewith all inputs (A to H).The library settings of guitar and send effects can be used forother songs.Even when parameter settings are not stored in the library, effectassignments and parameters are always stored as part of a song.Dynamic effectsWhen you press the DYNAMICS button, the inserted effect forthe last selected input (INPUT A to H) is displayed.You can select one of the four types of effects (COMPRESSOR,NOISE SUPPRESSOR, DE-ESSER, EXCITER) and apply it to allinputs (A to H) (simultaneous application has some limitations).You cannot use multiple types of dynamic effects simultaneously.CAUTIONWhen using a guitar effect together with a dynamiceffect, the dynamic effect can be inserted on amaximum of 2 channels.The selected input (A to H) and on/off state are shown on thescreen.Inserting a dynamic effectPress the DYNAMICS button to open the DYNAMICS screen.Press the SOURCE button to select the input (A to H) where youwant to insert the dynamic effect.Press the F3 (SELECT) button to select the effect that you wantto insert. Press the F4 (ON/OFF) button to set the selectedeffect to ON and insert it.You can also align the cursor with INSERT EFFECT on theMixer screen and use the JOG/DATA dial to turn the effect on/off.Adjusting dynamic effectsYou can edit the parameters of the selected dynamic effect. Theparameters differ depending on the effect type.Use the CURSOR (5/b/g/t) buttons to select the parameterthat you want to change, and then use the JOG/DATA dial to setthe value.NOTEThere is no preset or library function for dynamic effects.Guitar effectsThis unit has multi-effects for guitar. You can insert and use theseeffects on tracks.Inserting a guitar effectPress the EFFECT button to open the GUITAR EFFECT/SEND EFFECT screen (the last displayed effect appears).If the SEND EFFECT screen is open, press the F1 (GUITAR)button to open the GUITAR EFFECT screen.If there is any effect already inserted on a track, the SELECTbutton lights and the track number appears in the upper rightcorner of the screen.If no effect has been inserted, the SELECT button is unlit, andTRACK -- appears in the upper right corner of the screen.Press the SELECT button of a track to insert the effect on it.You can also align the cursor with INSERT EFFECT on theMixer screen and use the JOG/DATA dial to turn the effect on/off.NOTEA guitar effect has a mono input and a mono output, but wheninserted on a stereo track, it can have a stereo output and sometypes will have a stereo effect.CAUTIONSince guitar effects are mono, when they are insertedon stereo tracks, the effect is sent only to the odd-numbered track. (See the illustration below.)• For example, when inputs G and H are assigned to stereotrack 9/10 and you insert a guitar effect, the effected soundwill be recorded on track 9 (input G).• Since some effects work in stereo, we recommend that youset the track type to stereo, and then assign the same inputto both odd and even numbers. (For example, assign inputH/H to tracks 9/10.)Odd trackMono input Stereo inputEven trackOdd trackEven trackEFFECT
