1 - Internal Effects on the DM-24-Patching and setting up effects WARNING Although it is theoretically possible to select both an aux send and an aux insert as input sources for an effect, a few seconds' thought will show that this will result in a feedback loop, resulting in possible damage to equipment (and ears!). You should therefore avoid making this type of setting. A popup message appears to show that the assignment has been made. Mono and stereo inputs The DM-24 internal effects are either single-channel or two-channel, as listed at the start of this section. At the top of the input/output patch section for each effect, there is a field called INTYPE (input type). In the case of single-channel effects, the only option available is Mono. In the case of dual-channel effects, there is a pair of radio buttons: Stereo and Mono. Select one of these as appropriate, depending on whether one mono source, or a stereo pair of sources (e.g. a pair of aux sends) will be used to feed the effect. Once again, we recommend that only pairs of inputs (e.g. stereo inserts, odd-even pair buss and aux inserts and odd/even pairs of aux sends) are selected as stereo inputs for the effects. The number of outputs available for an effect depends on a number of factors: the type of effect currently selected, the mono/stereo input type currently selected, and the destination of the effect (for instance, if effect 1 is patched in series with a single-channel effect used in effect 2, only one channel is output from effect 1). NOTE The same source cannot be selected twice to feed two different effect inputs (except for the aux sends). A popup message appears to warn of attempted duplicate assignments. Any send/return assignments made to the effects will override any assignments made to external send/return insert loops. The effect output destination cannot be selected here- the destination of the effect outputs is determined by the choice of the input source, and in the case of the aux sends by the settings made in the I/O screens. Example 1 (Loop/insert setting with 1=mono input and 2=stereo input In this example, the delay line is fed by a mono signal source (for example a microphone) and the output is spread between the left and right outputs. The stereo inputs to the plate reverb maintain the image of the stereo source (for example, if a pair of overhead mics has been set up to record a drum kit). 4 TASCAM DM-24 Effects
