7 - Module operations-Common area indicators and controls Other common controls and displays Digital trim and pan There are also two other controls visible at the bottom of the screen-the digital trim and pan-above the soft key labels. These are dealt with below ("Digital trim control" on page 51 and "Pan control" on page 51. Phase switch This on-screen switch reverses the phase of the input signal (use the ENTER key to toggle on and off). In the case of linked pairs, each channel's phase is independently reversible. Assignable inserts If one of the assignable sends and returns has been assigned to this channel (two send/return pairs in the case of a linked pair), the insert can be turned on or off. The status of the insert (pre- or post) is shown by the small "cutout" on the left of the on-screen button. Pre-fader On Off Post-fader On Off EQ and buss assignments These buss assign- ments, together with the status of the EQ (on or off) are shown at the right of the screen. In addition, the EQ response curve is shown at the top of the screen. If the EQ is disabled, this is "grayed out", and is solid if the EQ is enabled. NOTE It is not possible to change the buss assignments or the EQ switching from here. Use the dedicated keys (to the left of the display screen) for this. Full details are in "Channel-to-buss assignments by channel" on page 41. Fader section The current fader position (which will almost always correspond to the physical fader position, except when automation motor control is turned off) as well as the mute status, is provided onscreen, as is the mute status of the module. The exact numerical value of the level is also displayed here. This allows the fader to be "normalized" easily, as when the fader is at the zero position, the on-screen fader knob is reversed. Input/return assignments The current assign- ments for this module, depending on whether it is being used as an input or return module, are shown. They cannot be changed from this screen. Use the fourth module (SETUP) screen ("Setup screen" on page 57) or the dedicated I/O setup to change these settings ("Setting up the I/O" on page 36). Meter The on-screen meter gives a reading taken from the defined metering point, which is switchable here between the input, pre-fader and post-fader. Digital trim control The digital trim control (POD 1 of the bottom row) allows the adjustment of the module level between -50dB and +10dB in 61 0.5dB steps. Pan control The pan control is on the bottom row of the PODs (that is, move the cursor to the bottom row and use the PODs). The pan control is controlled by POD 4. Hard left is represented by L, and hard right by R. The center position is represented by C, and there are 201 possible pan positions available. Mute and fader groups Any assignments to mute and fader groups are shown to the right of the screen. These cannot be changed here (see "Grouping" on page 69 for full details). See also "Global digital trim" on page 59. To center the pan position easily, move the cursor to the CENTER on-screen button, and press ENTER. If the channel is odd-numbered and is not part of a stereo linked pair, it can be ganged to the module to the right (even-numbered channels can be linked to odd-numbered channels to the left). If this GANG control is enabled (move the cursor to it and press TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 51
