Channel Routing And Busses; Channel Routing; Multi-Track Bus Faders; Aux And Fx Sends - Behringer DDX3216 Operating Manual

Master controller 3 (MIX) adjusts the amount of delayed signal
in relationship to the input signal. With a setting of 100% you will
hear the delayed signal only, with 0% only the input signal.
For pure delay with no signal processing, the MIX parameter is
set to 100% and FEEDBACK to 0%.
A single repeat can be realized with a FEEDBACK of 0% and
a MIX setting of below 100%. For multiple delay/echo effects,
both the FEEDBACK and MIX parameters are used.

4. CHANNEL ROUTING AND BUSSES

Your DDX3216 features a complete set of stereo main and
monitor busses, 16 multi-track busses, as well as four aux sends
and four FX sends. These busses can be used for a wide variety
of applications, e. g. as pre and post-fader sends (mono and
stereo), or as pre or post-fader multi-track sends with independent
panorama. Comprehensive routing facilities are also provided.

In order to display the CHANNEL ROUTING menu, press the
ROUTING switch in the CHANNEL PROCESSING section of the
switch block, and then the SELECT switch of the desired channel.
Master controllers 2-5 control the routing to the multi-track busses,
and master controller 6 controls the routing to the stereo main bus.
Each input channel can be routed to any of the 16 busses and
the stereo main mix. The feed to the stereo main mix is always
via the faders and the pan control, the feed to the multi-track
busses can be set pre or post-fader. Independent level and pan
controls for the multi-track busses are exclusively available in
the ROUTING menu of the channels.
Master controller 2 (LEVEL) determines the level that is sent to
the multi-track busses, and controls the pre/post-fader
assignment. Turn the controller to adjust the level to the multi-
track busses, independently of the level sent to the stereo main
mix. Press the controller to change the pre/post-fader switching.
When set to "pre", the signal sent to the multi-track busses is
pre-fader; when set to "post", it is post-fader. If the CHANNEL
MUTE AFTER FADER function on the PREFS page in the SETUP
menu is activated, the pre-fader signal of a muted channel will
not be muted when it is sent to a bus. Master controller 3 (PAN)
controls the pan of the signals routed to the multi-track busses.
If the FOLLOW CHANNEL function is on, the bus pan is the same
as the channel pan. If this function is disabled, the multi-track
bus pan is independent of the stereo main bus pan. The switches
below DESTINATION BUS route the signal to the 16 multi-track
busses. You can select more than one pair of multi-track busses.
Master controller 6 (MAIN) controls the routing to the stereo main
bus. This signal is always post-fader as well as post-mute/pan.
The faders for the multi-track busses are activated by pressing
fader bank switches BUS OUT 1-16 in the switch block. By
default, this will also assign the level meters to the multi-track
bus faders.
Normally, the multi-track bus outputs are available via the digital
I/O modules, but can also be assigned in the I/O menu to any of
the four multi outputs.
The multi-track busses can be grouped or paired using the
PAIR and GROUP switches.
Each of the 32 input channels has four aux and four FX sends.
The effect returns have four aux sends. The levels for each send
or aux path can be adjusted separately, and also their position in
the signal path (pre or post-fader) can be determined specifically.
4. CHANNEL ROUTING AND BUSSES
To take full advantage of these features, at least
one of the optional I/O modules needs to be
installed.
