Tascam DM-3200 owner manual Routing & assignment Routing, Input routing

4 – Routing & assignment : Routing

•Assignment of modules to the 16 busses as well as to the stereo busses is carried out by dedicated keys (to the left of the display).

•Assignment of physical hardware inputs to mod- ules, and of internal components to physical hard-

ware outputs, together with the internal patching between mixer sections, as well as the setting up of the “soft” inserts, is done in the ASSIGN screens (see “Routing” on page 47).

Routing

Use the ROUTING screens to set up the routing of input sources to modules, etc. as well as to set outputs. There are three of these screens: one for INPUT, one for OUTPUT and one for the soft INSERTS.

To enter these screens, press the ROUTING key until the appropriate screen is shown on the display.

NOTE

Assignment of channels to busses is done by means of the buss keys to the left of the display, or by means of the ASSIGN screens (use the ASSIGN key here).

Input routing

The INPUT screen allows you to select input sources from a list composed of (mainly) the physical inputs of the DM-3200, and route them to input destinations (channels and dynamics triggers).

Figure 4.2: Routing inputs

EFF RTN	The internal effect returns (see “Insert
	patching” on page 50).
2TRIN	The 2-track master recorder inputs (see “2
	TR IN” on page 39).
OSC	Internal oscillator
SLOT1/SLOT2	The inputs provided by any cards fitted to the
	slots (see “Slot card configuration” on
	page 42 for details).
LOOPBACK	Explained below (“Loopback options” on
options	page 48).

2Select the destination layer of these input sources by using the POD 3 encoder (2 in Fig- ure 4.2, Routing inputs). Choose between:

CH 1-16 Channel modules 1 through 16

CH 17-32 Channel modules 17 through 32

CH 33-48 Channel modules 33 through 48

DYN TRIGGER The eight dynamics processor triggers also described in “Trigger settings” on page 65

1Select the source group with the POD 4 encoder.

The input sources are as follows, as listed at the lower right of the screen (1 in Figure 4.2, Routing inputs):

M/L	Mic/line input channels (see “Mic/line
	connections” on page 39).
TDIF1/TDIF2/	The three built-in TDIF 8-channel input ports
TDIF3	(see “TDIF I/O” on page 40).
ADAT	The eight optical “lightpipe” inputs
	(see“ADAT “lightpipe” OUT & IN” on
	page 40).
DIN	The two stereo digital inputs (see “Digital
	inputs and outputs” on page 40).
ASN RTN	The four analog assignable returns (see
	“Analog inputs” on page 33).

If either of the first two options is selected, each destination module is shown in the list with an INP (input) and RTN (return) available for routing selection. Channels 33 through 48 only present the input (though this has only return capabilities).

3Use the cursor keys to select the source field (either the input or return in the case of chan- nels 1 through 32), and use the dial to select the input source (from the available sources within the selected source block).

4You must then press ENTER to confirm the routing selection.
