Dynamics processors
This section covers the use of the DM-3200’s built-in
compressor/expanders and gates.
Compressor/expander dynamics processors are avail-
able in all modules except channel modules 33
through 48.
Gates are available in channels 1 thorough 32 (input
only).
The module screen accessed by the DYNAMICS key
shows the settings for the currently selected input
channel (as shown by the
SEL
indicator).
If the selected channel is linked as part of a stereo
pair, the settings affect both channels.
LINK
This and the two trigger settings following,
apply both to compressor/expanders and to gates
(where available). The link features means that both
processors are linked by a common trigger signal.
The two processors must be in adjacent channels of
an odd-even pair (e.g. channels 3 and 4 can link their
processors, channels 4 and 5 cannot).
The linking of the gates or expanders cannot be
turned off when two channels have been linked. The
above screen display shows
L=R when the channels
are linked.
When two channels are not linked, but the processors
are linked, the processor source can be selected.
Trigger mode (
TRG MOD
)
is only valid when two
gates or expanders are linked. This option (selected
using the dial and
ENTER key) allows the triggering
for both processors to be initiated by the left channel,
the right channel, or
BOTH
(both channels act as trig-
gers—in other words, the first channel to be triggered
will automatically activate the second channel’s
processor).
Trigger selection
Allows the selection of a chan-
nel (1–32), the selected module (shown as SELF ) or a
globally-defined trigger source (see “Input routing”
on page 47), shown as
TRGx as the trigger for the
compressor (this can include a mic/line source routed
to a trigger).
TIP
By feeding an input signal through a channel with EQ
and selecting this as a trigger source, you can imple-
ment sidechain compression, without the use of a single
patch cord!
Turning the processors on and off
There is
a key to the right of the assign bank marked
EQ/DYN
.
This key has three functions, depending on whether it
is pressed alone or with other keys:
The three indicators beside the key show the current
status of the selected channel.
