BUSS Link/BUSS PAN are Linked When checked, this option links the buss panning when a link is made between two busses.

SOLO

The solo modes on the DM-3200 can be set up in a number of different ways using this screen:

selected, the solo status of only that slave module is affected.

SOLO TYPE There are three options that may be selected here: PFL (pre-fader listen), AFL (after- or post-fader listen) and INPLACE SOLO. Briefly; the PFL option provides a way of listening to the signal before it is sent through the panpot and fader. The stereo outputs are unaffected (soloing is only done through the CR and STUDIO monitor outputs). An AFL selection will output the post-fader signal from the selected channels through the monitoring system. By contrast, soloing a channel in the Inplace Solo mode monitors the soloed signal(s) via the stereo and buss outputs while all the other signals are cut from the stereo and buss outputs.

MODE SELECT Either Mix Solo or Exclusive Solo can be selected here. The Mix Solo mode allows a number of channels (that is, all whose SOLO keys are lit in solo mode) to have their outputs added together to the solo mix. The Exclusive Solo mode only allows one channel (the one whose SOLO key was pressed last) to be soloed at one time.

SOLO LINK This option allows the fader and mute groups to be used with the solo function. This is explained more fully in the solo part of the section describing monitoring. Briefly, if one of the group options (MUTE GROUP or FADER GROUP) is enabled, selecting a group master module solos or unsolos the whole of the group. If a group slave module is

INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT This option is a defeat option to prevent channels selected in this way from being muted when other channels are soloed. It can be used with a pair of effect returns, for instance, so that these effect returns will always be added in the inplace mix, together with those other channels selected for inplace soloing. Inplace soloing will out- put the soloed channel(s) from the stereo outputs, and cut all other channels. Use the cursor keys (or chan- nel SEL key) to highlight a channel, and the ENTER key to change the status of the INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT setting.

Alternatively, use the SEL keys of the modules for direct selection and de-selection of the channels (use ENTER to make the setting).
