6 – Effects

The DM-3200 incorporates two internal effects: a TASCAM multi-purpose effect and a TC Works reverb. This section discusses the setup and use of these effects.

Routing the effects

As explained in “Routing” on page 47, internal effect inputs and outputs are treated as sources and destina- tions for routing.

The two screens shown here are examples of how the internal routing is used with the internal effects.

In the OUTPUT routing screen, the Aux sends are selected as outputs, and the terminal destination is selected as one of the internal effects.

Here, Aux 5 and Aux 6 are selected as aux sends to effect 1 (effect 2 would be set up in the same way).

For the return, the INPUT screen is used. The source is set to EFF RTN (effect return) and channels 17 through 20 are selected as effect returns.

WARNING

Since there are no dedicated effect returns, the chan- nels used for returns also have aux feeds that may acci- dentally be used to feed the effects being returned on that channel. If this is done, there will be a feedback loop that may damage your hearing, and your monitor- ing equipment.

Setting up the effects

The EFFECT key brings up the effect screens, where the basic setup of the internal effects is done.

First, an effect is recalled from the preset library, or from a setting previously stored on a CF card.

When the effect setting has been recalled, it may be used as it is, or edited using the editing screen.

After pressing the EFFECT key, pressing the POD 2 switch brings up the effect 1 library, for managing the library effects for the first effect loop, and press- ing the POD 4 switch brings up the effect 2 library,

for managing the other effect loop (shown in Figure 6.2, Effect library screen below):
