5 – Channel modules : Global module settings

Global module settings

These settings are common to the four different mod- ule screens, and do not change when the module screen is changed.

Figure 5.2: Common “global” module settings

Navigate to the appropriate on-screen control, and use the ENTER key to turn switches on and off, and POD 4’s encoder to adjust the fader level and pan/ balance control when these are highlighted.

NOTE

As explained in Figure 4.1, Module facilities on the DM- 3200, not every module is equipped with all these fea- tures. Only those features available on a selected mod- ule are actually shown on the display.

Input and return display Cannot be changed here, but shows the current input and return assign- ments.

EQ display and button The EQ display pro- vides a graphical display of the EQ settings. It cannot be changed. However, the EQ button allows the EQ of the channel to be switched in and out, allowing easy A-B comparisons.

GATE display and button The GATE display provides a graphical display of the gate settings, and cannot be changed. The GATE button allows the gate to be switched on and off for A-B comparisons.

COMP/EXP display and COMP button The COMP/EXP display provides a graphical display of the current compressor/expander settings, and cannot be changed. The COMP button allows the compressor/ expander to be turned on and off for comparison.

Compressor/expander point button Use this button to change the point at which the compres- sor/limiter is inserted in the channel between a pre- EQ (PRE EQ) or post-EQ (POST EQ) position (channels 1 through 32 only—busses, aux and the stereo buss are fixed at pre fader).

Meters and pick-off point button Show the current module levels. The button allows the pick-off point to be set as follows:

Channels 1–32	Channels 33–48	Buss, aux, stereo
INPUT	INPUT	—
PRE GATE	—	—
POST GATE	—	PRE COMP
PRE INSERT	—	PRE FADER
POST FADER	POST FADER	POST FADER

Fader Allows precise setting and echoes the physi- cal fader setting. When this is highlighted, it can be controlled using the POD 4 encoder.

Also see “Fader control” on page 61 for details of how to view and make fader settings globally.

TIP

You can use the one-step mode for ultra-fine control here. See “Encoder behavior” on page 23.

MUTE button Allows the module to be muted and un-muted (echoes the status of the hardware MUTE key).

PAN (BALANCE) control Use POD 4 to change the value of this control (pan changes to balance when channels are linked).

PAN follow button Use this control like the buss option described in “BUSS PAN Follows ST PAN” on page 34.

INSERT button (with linked or stereo modules, two such buttons are available), allowing you to turn the soft insert(s) on and off (see “Insert patching” on page 50) for details.

Phase button (with linked or stereo modules, two such buttons are available), allowing you to reverse the phase of the input on the selected channel(s).
