BUSS Link/BUSS PAN are Linked When
checked, this option links the buss panning when a
link is made between two busses.
SOLO
The solo modes on the DM-3200 can be set up in a
number of different ways using this screen:
MODE SELECT Either Mix Solo or Exclusive Solo can
be selected here. The
Mix Solo mode allows a number
of channels (that is, all whose
SOLO keys are lit in
solo mode) to have their outputs added together to
the solo mix. The
Exclusive Solo mode only allows one
channel (the one whose
SOLO key was pressed last)
to be soloed at one time.
SOLO LINK This option allows the fader and mute
groups to be used with the solo function. This is
explained more fully in the solo part of the section
describing monitoring. Briefly, if one of the group
options (
MUTE GROUP or FADER GROUP) is enabled,
selecting a group master module solos or unsolos the
whole of the group. If a group slave module is
selected, the solo status of only that slave module is
affected.
SOLO TYPE There are three options that may be
selected here:
PFL (pre-fader listen), AFL (after- or
post-fader listen) and
INPLACE SOLO. Briefly; the PFL
option provides a way of listening to the signal
before it is sent through the panpot and fader. The
stereo outputs are unaffected (soloing is only done
through the
CR and STUDIO monitor outputs). An
AFL selection will output the post-fader signal from
the selected channels through the monitoring system.
By contrast, soloing a channel in the
Inplace Solo mode
monitors the soloed signal(s) via the stereo and buss
outputs while all the other signals are cut from the
stereo and buss outputs.
INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT This option is a defeat
option to prevent channels selected in this way from
being muted when other channels are soloed. It can
be used with a pair of effect returns, for instance, so
that these effect returns will always be added in the
inplace mix, together with those other channels
selected for inplace soloing. Inplace soloing will out-
put the soloed channel(s) from the stereo outputs, and
cut all other channels. Use the cursor keys (or chan-
nel
SEL key) to highlight a channel, and the ENTER
key to change the status of the INPLACE SOLO DEFEAT
setting.
Alternatively, use the
SEL keys of the modules for
direct selection and de-selection of the channels (use
ENTER to make the setting).
