5 – Channel modules
The channel modules are the “heart” of the DM-3200, corresponding to the channel strips on an analog con-
sole. Because they are used so often, and settings have to be made frequently, there are a number of ways of
viewing and making the settings for these modules, as explained in this section.
General principles
There are several ways of setting many of the chan-
nel parameters.
• The first is by means of the MODULE screens
accessed with the
MODULE
keys (see “Jumping to
commonly-used screens” on page 17).
There are four module screens:
DYNAMICS allows the setting of the modules’ com-
pressor/expanders (channels 1 through 32, stereo,
aux and buss modules) and gates (channels 1 through
32).
EQ
allows the setting of the 4-band parametric EQ
(channels 1 through 32).
AUX/BUSS allows the setting of the aux sends and the
buss assignments.
SETUP provides a way of viewing and setting overall
channel parameters.
Various parameters and options are globally available
from all module screens (see “Global module set-
tings” on page 60).
• The second way of viewing and changing the
parameters is by means of the dedicated screens
accessed through the screen mode selection keys
(see “Basic operational concepts” on page 16) and
the POD controls. These screens allow the viewing
and setting of the same parameter for many differ-
ent modules from the same screen.
• In addition, the encoders may be used to control
one parameter (not all parameters may be con-
trolled in this way, but commonly-used ones) of all
the modules in the current fader layer or to control
many parameters of the currently selected module.
See “Encoders” on page 20 for details.
The encoder control methods can also be combined
automatically with the screen displays. See the
options “Encoder Mode Follows Current Screen” on
page 34 and “Current Screen Follows Encoder
Mode” on page 34 which enable automatic links
between the screen and the encoder modes.
NOTE
Many of the screens and parameters described here
apply when the DM-3200 is in stereo mode. For differ-
ences and additional features implemented when sur-
round mode is selected, see “Surround operations” on
page 75.
ASSIGN PARAMETERS screen
Also note the
PARAMETERS screen (available from the
ASSIGN
key),
which allows a number of different settings to be
applied to many channels simultaneously.
The screen shows the channel modules (labeled 1
through 48), the 16 busses (1 through 16), the eight
aux sends 1 through 8) and the stereo buss.
1 Use the POD 4 encoder to select phase, gate
switching, compression, compressor/expander
insert point position (pre or post) or EQ on/
off.
2 Use the left/right cursor keys, wheel or
SEL
keys to navigate around the screen and the
ENTER key to turn the following on or off (see
later in this section for details of these channel
features).
Note that the only feature available for the
busses, the aux sends and the stereo buss is the
compressor/expander dynamics processor.
•
∅
—reverse (“pressed”) or normal phase (channel
modules only)
• GAT —gate dynamics processor (1–32)
• CMP —compressor/expander dynamics processor
(1–32, aux, buss and stereo)
•
PRE/PST
—pre/post EQ point for compressor (1–32)
• EQ —turns the EQ on and off for that channel mod-
ule (1–32)
It is also possible to use the POD 4 encoder to select
phase, gate switching, compression, software insert
position, compressor position, or EQ on/off as a glo-
bal setting, and use the POD 1 key (
ALL ON ) or POD 2
( ALL OFF ) to switch these on or off respectively.
