Fig. 13.2: MACHINE CONTROL page in the MIDI menu
To operate the various transport controls press the master
controllers located below them (REWIND, FFWD, STOP, PLAY
and RECORD). Master controller 1 (LOCATE) transmits a LOCATE
command to the connected device. Turning master controllers
2-5 adjusts the times in the LOCATE TIME window: Master
controller 2 adjusts the hours, master controller 3 adjusts the
minutes, master controller 4 adjusts the seconds, and master
controller 5 adjusts the frames. Press ENTER to transmit the
current TAPE TIME to the LOCATE TIME window, where it is
stored in the selected LOCATE memory (MARK 1-9). A "0"
memory is also available, which cannot be stored to. The MARK
memories are selected with master controller 1.

13.3 RX/TX page in MIDI menu

On the RX/TX page in the MIDI menu you can define incoming
and outgoing MIDI messages more specifically.
Fig. 13.3: RX/TX page in the MIDI menu
When you check the checkbox below RX (Receive), the
DDX3216 receives the MIDI messages listed on the left. Check
the checkbox below TX (Transmit) to send MIDI messages.
PROGRAM CHANGE
Snapshots can also be changed by using program change
commands. Program change 0 corresponds to snapshot #1.
In order to recall various snapshots in sync to a running
playback, you can transmit program changes while loading a
snapshot. In this way, the program changes can be recorded on
a MIDI sequencer and sent back in sync to the running playback.
CONTROL CHANGE
Most of the controls and switches on your DDX3216 can be
remotely controlled from MIDI controllers. Additionally, you can
transmit the movements of controls and switches via MIDI
controllers, for example, to operate external MIDI devices from
the DDX3216. A list of all MIDI controllers transmitted and received
by the DDX3216 can be found in chapter 18.2 "MIDI control
changes".
MACHINE CONTROL
To allow for the reception/transmission of MIDI MACHINE
CONTROL commands, you need to check the associated
checkboxes.
DIRECT PAR. EXCL.
Changes to all controls that can be automated are transmitted
and received by the DDX3216 in the form of MIDI system exclusive
data. Check the appropriate checkboxes to enable these
functions.
A complete list of all MIDI sys-ex data received/transmitted by
the DDX3216 is available from your BEHRINGER Customer Support
team or our Internet web site at www.behringer.com.
"RX/TX Only" determines which parameter values in the various
sections are received/transmitted both via MIDI controllers and
MIDI sys-ex data.

The DDX3216 has two option slots on the rear panel, which
are used to enhance the console with optionally available
modules. For example, you can equip your console with additional
digital interfaces. Available modules are based on the formats
AES/EBU (8 inputs and 8 outputs), ADAT
8 outputs) and TDIF-1 (2 x 8 inputs and 2 x 8 outputs) as well as
a 19" interface unit for the connection of the AES/EBU interface
to XLR connectors. Only through the integration of these modules
you will be able to fully exploit the very special features of your
DDX3216, which is the digital routing of up to 32 signals.
At the moment, the following modules are available:

ADT1616
TDIF INTERFACE

Instructions on how to install the respective
interfaces are provided in the accompanying
installation manuals.
Fig. 14.1: INPUT page in the I/O menu
The I/O menu controls the routing of the interface inputs and
outputs. On the INPUT page (see chapter 8.2.1 "Input routing"),
you can determine which interface input is assigned to which
channel strip. This assignment is based on banks comprising 8
inputs each. For instance, you could assign inputs 1-8 of the
interface to channel strips 1-8 on the DDX3216.
Figure 14.1 shows a setup that has all inputs of the I/O modules
assigned to channel strips 1-32.
The MODULE page (see chapter 8.2.4 "MODULE page in the
I/O menu") assigns the 16 available outputs to the optional I/O
modules.
Fig. 14.2: MODULE page in the I/O menu
Each I/O modules is fitted with 8 or 16 outputs, and each group
of 8 outputs can be assigned to the internal outputs 1-8, 9-16 or
to the MULTI-MR outputs.
Figure 14.2 shows one ADAT
option slot, and one TDIF module in the second.
I/O outputs 1-16 are specific outputs for the I/O modules, which
can carry almost any mixer signal (OUTPUT page in the I/O menu).
The default assignment is mix busses 1-16.
