To use the global screen: 1 With the SHIFT indicator off, press the ASSIGN key. 2 Continue to press the ASSIGN key, or press soft key 3 to display the BUSS screen. 3 Use the Ó and Á keys or dial to move the cursor along the row. The § and ¶ keys move between the blocks, and the SEL indicator of the currently-highlighted channel lights (if the fader layer containing the channel is selected). Alternatively, use the SEL keys of the channels to move the cursor and highlight the channels on the screen. Channel 1 is highlighted here. 4 Use POD 4 to move the cursor at the right of the screen to select the buss groups (1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8), the stereo output (ST), direct out (DIR) or AUX 1-2 (see below). 5 Press ENTER to assign/de-assign the highlighted channel to and from the selected group. The appropriate CH ASSIGN key indicators light and go out as the selections are made in this way. Alternatively, if the SEL key of the selected channel is lit (that is, the fader layer of the selected channel is active), use the dedicated ASSIGN keys to change the assignments. NOTE Direct output is only possible from channels 1 through 16.

AUX 1-2 The AUX 1-2 setting at the bottom of the POD 4 list does not have a corresponding hardware key or indicator. It is used to switch a link between the stereo output and aux 1-2, or aux 1-2 may be assigned to the stereo outputs. Obviously, only one of these assignments may be made at one time. The first of these assignments (stereo to aux 1-2) is only possible when the AUX 1-2 POD 4 button is highlighted, and when the cursor is on the ST module (bottom right of screen). The second such assignment (aux 1-2 to stereo) is possible only when the AUX 1-2 POD button is not highlighted, and the cursor highlights the AUX module (to the left of the ST module-lower right). In either case, press the ENTER key. If the other assignment has been made, a popup message appears 40 TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual

5 – Setting up the I/O—Channel-to-buss assignments (global)
40
TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual
The inputs are chosen in a similar way to the input/
return selection for channels 1 through 24.
The cursor is moved to the “patch cord” linking the
inputs to the digital input (either
D IN1
or
D IN2
), and
the dial and
ENTER
key are used to change the
“patch” setting.
Channel-to-buss assignments (global)
These may be made either on a central “global”
basis, or individually, channel by channel.
NOTE
Surround modes are treated in a similar, but different,
manner. See “Surround operations” on page 107 for
full details of how to make assignments in surround
mode.
To use the global screen:
1
With the
SHIFT
indicator off, press the
ASSIGN
key.
2
Continue to press the
ASSIGN
key, or press
soft key 3 to display the
BUSS
screen.
3
Use the
Ó
and
Á
keys or dial to move the
cursor along the row. The
§
and
keys
move between the blocks, and the
SEL
indi-
cator of the currently-highlighted channel
lights (if the fader layer containing the chan-
nel is selected).
Alternatively, use the
SEL
keys of the chan-
nels to move the cursor and highlight the
channels on the screen. Channel 1 is high-
lighted here.
4
Use POD 4 to move the cursor at the right of
the screen to select the buss groups (
1-2
,
3-4
,
5-6
and
7-8
), the stereo output (
ST
), direct out
(
DIR
) or
AUX 1-2
(see below).
5
Press
ENTER
to assign/de-assign the high-
lighted channel to and from the selected
group. The appropriate
CH
ASSIGN
key indi-
cators light and go out as the selections are
made in this way.
Alternatively, if the
SEL
key of the selected
channel is lit (that is, the fader layer of the
selected channel is active), use the dedicated
ASSIGN
keys to change the assignments.
NOTE
Direct output is only possible from channels 1 through
16.
Master settings
The on-screen buttons
ALL CH
ON
(soft key 1) and
ALL CH OFF
(soft key 2) are used to
assign or de-assign all channels from the assignment
highlighted using POD 4.
AUX 1-2
The
AUX 1-2
setting at the bottom of the
POD 4 list does not have a corresponding hardware
key or indicator. It is used to switch a link between
the stereo output and aux 1-2, or aux 1-2 may be
assigned to the stereo outputs. Obviously, only one of
these assignments may be made at one time.
The first of these assignments (stereo to aux 1-2) is
only possible when the
AUX 1-2
POD 4 button is high-
lighted, and when the cursor is on the
ST
module
(bottom right of screen).
The second such assignment (aux 1-2 to stereo) is
possible only when the
AUX 1-2
POD button is
not
highlighted, and the cursor highlights the
AUX
mod-
ule (to the left of the
ST
module—lower right).
In either case, press the
ENTER
key. If the other
assignment has been made, a popup message appears
