DM-24 version 2.0—Release notes—I/O setup changes
No assignment to a channel
When you are making assignments to the DM-24, as
described in “Assigning inputs to channels” on
page 40, a new “source” has been added to the list. This is a null assignment, indicated by four dashes on
screen
----
; in other words, no input is assigned to the
selected channel when this option is selected.
This null assignment applies to channel inputs, to
return sources, and to return blocks.
Group switching
Also note that there is now an option that allows a
whole group to be switched between input and return
settings, rather than your having to make individual
settings for each channel in the group, as described in
“Assigning inputs to channels” on page 40. Move the cursor to the on-screen “patch cable” of the
center box to the left of the channel list (as high-
lighted here), and use the dial and
ENTER
key to
change between
INPUT
and
RETURN
, as for individual
channels.
Mic/line routing to Aux 1-2
It is now possible to assign mic/line inputs to Aux 1
and 2, which is a similar concept to the way in which
aux 1 and 2 can be used for tape returns (1 through
16) in a tracking environment.
Now, when mixing, you can have channels 1 through
24 used as tape returns, 25 through 32 as effect
returns, and the sixteen mic/line inputs assigned to
aux 1 and 2. These two aux busses can then be stereo
linked, and assigned using the
ASSIGN BUSS
page to
the stereo buss outputs.
When this is done, you now effectively have 16 extra
channels with pan and level controls, making a total
of 48 mixdown channels (as in the
48ch MIXING
snap-
shot 000). These “new” channels are perfect for use
as MIDI instrument channels.
