Channel Control Bank; Proc(Ess) Bank; General Bank - Behringer DDX3216 Operating Manual

Groups can span more than one fader menu page.
A second press on the fader bank switches CH 1-16 or
CH 17-32 displays the CHANNEL LIB page, where you can save
and recall all channel processing settings for the selected channel.
To navigate between the two menu pages, either press the
corresponding fader bank switch or use the PREVIOUS and
NEXT switches to the right of the display.

2.7.2 Channel control bank

Fig. 2.19: Channel control bank
The channel controller above the fader is always assigned to
the same channel as the fader below it, and can be used to
control one of nine channel parameters (channel pan, or the
send level of one of the four aux or four FX sends). The eleven
LEDs surrounding the controller indicate its current position.
The parameter assigned to the controller is selected by means
of nine dedicated switches located in the switch block in the left
console section. These switches also display the menu page for
the selected function. When the function DISPLAY FOLLOWS
CHANNEL CONTROL (PREFS page in SETUP menu) is enabled,
the first press of the CHANNEL CONTROL switch also displays
the associated menu page (send, FX 1-4 or LIB page). When this
function is off, the menu page will be displayed only by pressing
the CHANNEL CONTROL switch a second time; in this mode,
only the channel controller function will be changed. As with all
display pages, multiple presses of the CHANNEL CONTROL
switch display the available menu pages (which can also be
done with the PREVIOUS and NEXT switches to the right of the
display).
The FADER functions for the rotary control are not available
for all channels. For example, the bus outputs have no aux or
effect sends, nor do they have a pan parameter. In this case, the
LED ring around the controller will be off, and turning the controller
will have no effect. Instead, the display will read "FUNCTION
NOT AVAILABLE".
AUX 1-4
Assigns one of the four aux sends to the channel controllers.
FX 1-4
Assigns one of the four FX sends to the channel controllers.
PAN
Assigns the channel pan to the channel controller. The channel
controller in the MAIN strip exclusively functions as BALANCE
control for the stereo mix. However, for this purpose, MAIN
CONTROL AS AUX/FX MASTER on the PREFS page in the SETUP
menu needs to be deactivated (ex works).

2.7.3 Proc(ess) bank

Fig. 2.20: Proc(ess) bank
All input channels as well as the main mix outputs are equipped
with a comprehensive set of dynamics and equalization functions.
Inputs 1-16 also have delay sections.
The signal processing in the selected channel is adjusted by
means of on-screen controls. The CHANNEL PROCESSING
switches (PROC) display the menu pages for the corresponding
functions in the selected channel: EQ, gate, compressor, phase/
delay and routing. Many of the CHANNEL PROCESSING menus
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS
comprise several pages. Use the PREVIOUS and NEXT switches
to the right of the display to scroll through the available menu
pages (or press the CHANNEL PROCESSING switch several
times). The channel processing functions are described in full
detail in chapter 3 "DIGITAL CHANNEL PROCESSING".

2.7.4 General bank

Fig. 2.21: General bank
These switches access menu pages for various console
settings or to activate specific functions. In some cases, several
pages are grouped together, and you can scroll through them
with the PREVIOUS and NEXT switches or by pressing a GENERAL
switch several times.
METERS
Displays the menu page for controlling the level meters, which
are specifically described in chapter 6 "MONITORING AND LEVEL
METERS".
MONITOR
Display the menu page for controlling the monitor speakers via
the Control Room monitor output. This switch flashes whenever
the signal source assigned to the Control Room output is not the
stereo main mix. The monitoring functions are discussed in
chapter 6 "MONITORING AND LEVEL METERS".
COPY
Opens the COPY dialog, in which you can exchange data
between single channels. The COPY parameters are specifically
described in chapter 7 "GROUPS, PAIRS AND COPY FUNCTIONS".
PAIR
Opens the PAIR dialog, in which neighboring channels can be
grouped as stereo pairs. Pairing/grouping of channels is discussed
in chapter 7 "GROUPS, PAIRS AND COPY FUNCTIONS".
GROUP
Opens the GROUP dialog, in which you can organize faders
and mutes in groups. The FADER menu shows the current mute
and fader groups. Fader and mute groups are specifically
described in chapter 7 "GROUPS, PAIRS AND COPY FUNCTIONS".
ISOLATE
Temporarily disables, or "isolates" all groups, but has no effect
on paired channels. The LED in the ISOLATE switch lights up, as
long as all groups are disabled. When the ISOLATE switch is
engaged, all members from one group can be set independently of
each other, for example, to re-adjust the balance between grouped
channels. When ISOLATE is turned off, all groups are re-activated,
using the new mute and fader positions as link values.
SETUP/OSC
Displays the SETUP menu for controlling the parameters word
clock, user preferences and oscillator. Details on this can be
found in chapter 12 "SETUP".
I/O
Displays the menu pages for the input/output and multi-output
routing, S/PDIF input/output and "dither" for the digital outputs of
optional I/O modules. More on these menu pages can be found in
chapter 8.2 "I/O Routing".
FILES
Displays the menu pages for saving, loading and deleting files,
and for updating the operating system. Details on these functions
can be found in chapter 9 "FILE MANAGEMENT".
MMC/MIDI
Displays the menu pages for the MIDI and MMC settings (MIDI
Machine Control). For detailed information please read chapter
13 "MIDI CONTROL".
