Trigger settings

As mentioned earlier, the DM-3200 can have sources
assigned to triggers (up to eight), allowing dynamics
processors to be triggered by a wide range of input
signals.
The assignment of the eight input triggers is done
from the ROUTING INPUT screen.

You can use POD 4 to select another source
group at any time.
When you have set up the triggers, they are available
for use in any gate or compressor/expander. Note that
the same trigger can be used for many different pro-
cessors.
TIP
You can set up eight consecutive inputs as the eight
input triggers by moving the cursor to the bottom of
the screen (BATCH SETUP), selecting a group of eight
inputs using the dial, and pressing ENTER. This batch
assignment can later be "fine-tuned", changing only
one or two entries in the list, if required.
