4 – Routing & assignment : Routing
TASCAM DM-3200 User’s Manual 47
• 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).
1 Select 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):
2 Select the destination layer of these input
sources by using the POD 3 encoder (
2 in Fig-
ure 4.2, Routing inputs). Choose between:
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).
3 Use 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).
4 You must then press
ENTER to confirm the
routing selection.
