The assignment of the eight input triggers is done from the ROUTING INPUT screen. Figure 5.9: Assigning dynamics processor triggers 1 Press the ROUTING key until the INPUT screen is shown. 2 Use POD 3 to select the DYN TRIGGER (dynamics trigger) option. 3 Use POD 4 to select the source group for the first trigger: mic/line inputs (M/L), one of the three TDIF inputs, the ADAT inputs, the digital inputs (DIN), the assignable returns (ASN RTN), the returns from the internal effects (EFF RTN, EFF1 L, EFF1 R, EFF2 L and EFF2 R), the input from the 2-track recorder (2TRIN) or the slot cards (1 or 2). Although the OSC (oscillator) and LOOPBACK options are available, they are not particularly useful here. 4 Move the cursor to the DYN TRIGGER 1 field, and use the dial to select the input from the source group. 5 Press ENTER when the input is selected (you must do this) and move to the DYN TRIGGER 2 field. You can use POD 4 to select another source group at any time. When you have set up the triggers, they are available for use in any gate or compressor/expander. Note that the same trigger can be used for many different processors. TIP You can set up eight consecutive inputs as the eight input triggers by moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen (BATCH SETUP), selecting a group of eight inputs using the dial, and pressing ENTER. This batch assignment can later be "fine-tuned", changing only one or two entries in the list, if required. TASCAM DM-3200 User's Manual 65
