2 - Basic operational concepts : Options While the FADER SENSITIVITY on-screen button is switched ON and this screen is visible, touching any of the faders with your fingers will illuminate the PREFERENCES The following general working preference settings are available from this screen: Figure 2.32: The PREFERENCES screen Fader Auto MODULE Select When enabled, this option allows a module to be selected whenever its fader is touched, in addition to the usual method of pressing the SEL key. In some screens, when this option is enabled, this may only mean that the module shown at the top left of the screen changes when its fader is touched. CH SOLO Key Auto MODULE Select When this is enabled, soloing a channel using the SOLO key brings up the MODULE screen. Select MODULE Return When checked, this option allows the MODULE screen of the appropriate module to appear if the SEL key of the module is pressed and held for about two seconds. ST Link by SEL key When checked, this option allows the stereo linking of two adjacent modules (provided the left module of the pair is odd-numbered) by pressing and holding the SEL key of one module and pressing the SEL key of the other. SEL Key Follows Fader Layer Status allows the setup of the automatic linking of the selected channel to the selected meter layer. When this option is selected, if a channel is selected, the fader layer is changed, and then the fader layer is changed back again, the originally-selected channel is automatically selected. For example, if this option is active, and SEL 2 key is lit with fader layer 1-16 active, fader layer 17-32 is STATUS/OL indicator for as long as the fader is touched. This provides a useful check for the sensitivity of the faders. then selected, SEL key 3 (channel 19) is selected, and then fader layer 1-16 is then re-selected, SEL key 2 will be active. If the option is not active, no SEL key which is lit remains lit when the fader layer is changed. Meter Follows SEL key When this option is checked, the meter layer automatically changes when the appropriate SEL key is pressed (see "Meters and faders" on page 79). The modes are as follows: Fader layer SEL keys CH 1-16 CH 1-16 CH 17-32 CH 17-24 CH 25-32 CH 33-48 CH 33-48 BUSS 1-16 BUSS 1-16 AUX 1-8 AUX 1-8 Meter layer CH 1-24 CH 1-24 CH 25-48 CH 25-48 BUSS 1-16 AUX 1-8 Automation fader OFF When this option is active (checked), in automation mode, when the automated mix is being read (played back), the faders do not move. Balance Level CENTER:0dB When two chan- nels are linked together as a stereo pair, the pan controls change to a balance control. In the center position, the level may either be set to 0dB (checked) or a 3dB cut (unchecked). AUX Mute follows CH Mute When this is checked, Aux sends from a channel are muted when the channel is muted. Encoder Mode Follows Current Screen This option switches the encoder function automatically (see "Encoders" on page 20) when a relevant screen (e.g. an aux send global screen) is selected. Current Screen Follows Encoder Mode The converse of the previous option; when the encoder mode is changed, the appropriate screen is shown. BUSS PAN Follows ST PAN When checked, and the BUSS PAN mode is ON, this option allows the stereo pan channel control to control the balance between the odd and even busses. No effect in surround mode. 34 TASCAM DM-3200 Owner's Manual
