5 - Channel modules The channel modules are the "heart" of the DM-4800, corresponding to the channel strips on an analog console. Because they are used so often, and settings have to be made frequently, there are a number of ways of viewing and making the settings for these modules, as explained in this section. General principles There are several ways of setting many of the channel parameters. • The first is by means of the MODULE screens accessed with the MODULE keys (see "Jumping to commonly-used screens" on page 18). There are four module screens: DYNAMICS allows the setting of the modules' compressor/expanders (channels 1 through 48, stereo, aux and buss modules) and gates (channels 1 through 48). EQ allows the setting of the 4-band parametric EQ (channels 1 through 48). AUX/BUSS allows the setting of the aux sends and the buss assignments. SETUP provides a way of viewing and setting overall channel parameters. Various parameters and options are globally available from all module screens (see "Global module settings" on page 72). • The second way of viewing and changing the parameters is by means of the dedicated screens accessed through the screen mode selection keys (see "Basic operational concepts" on page 17) and the POD controls. These screens allow the viewing and setting of the same parameter for many different modules from the same screen. • The screens relating to the EQ, dynamics and aux sends may all be displayed, and the parameters changed using the "fat channel" controls (see "Fat channel" on page 27). • In addition, the encoders may be used to control one parameter (not all parameters may be controlled in this way, but commonly-used ones) of all the modules in the current fader layer or to control many parameters of the currently selected module. See "Encoders" on page 22 for details. TIP The encoder control methods can also be combined automatically with the screen displays. See the options "Encoder Mode Follows Current Screen" on page 44 and "Current Screen Follows Encoder Mode" on page 44 which enable automatic links between the screen and the encoder modes. NOTE Many of the screens and parameters described here apply only when the DM-4800 is in stereo mode. For differences and additional features implemented when surround mode is selected, see "Surround operations" on page 88. ASSIGN PARAMETERS screen Also note the PARAMETERS screens (available from the ASSIGN key), which allows a number of different settings to be applied to many channels simultaneously.
