8 – Remote operation
The DM-3200 is capable of acting as a remote control unit for a wide variety of external devices. The exact
functionality of the machine control depends, of course, on the device to be controlled.
The device control is carried out through the MIDI
connections, including the USB MIDI ports (for
MMC), or the serial port via P2 protocol (
RS-422
).
Different devices can be selected for simultaneous
control by the DM-3200, with different devices being
controlled in different ways. For instance, it is possi-
ble to select one device to have its transport functions
controlled by the DM-3200, while the DM-3200 con-
trols the track arming functions of another device.
NOTE
In this section, the term “controller” is used to refer to a
part of the DM-3200 software controlling an external
device, rather than a hardware feature of the device or
the DM-3200.
Selecting devices for transport control
The
REMOTE
key is used to set up external devices
for transport and machine control.
1
With the
ALT
indicator lit, press the
REMOTE
key.
2
Use the POD 2 key to bring up the machine
control screen (
MACHINE CTRL
):
3
With the cursor pointing to either the
<-ADD
or
INFO
buttons at the right of the display, use the
dial to scroll through the list of devices on the
right of the screen that may be controlled by
the DM-3200 (
SUPPORTED DEVICES
).
4
When a device to be controlled by the DM-
3200 is selected in the list, move the cursor to
the
<-ADD
button, and press
ENTER
. The
device will be added to the list.
To obtain more information regarding a particular
item in the list of devices which may be controlled by
the DM-3200, highlight the item, move the cursor to
the
INFO
button, and press
ENTER
. A popup screen
provides information regarding the list item.
At the bottom of the list is a key to the method used
for controlling each item in the list:
The current list of devices (at the time of writing) is:
Other devices may be added to the list of supported
devices in the future. If the list does not contain the
name of a device that you wish to control, please
contact your local TASCAM Web site regarding the
availability of a software upgrade which contains the
control capability for your device.
