Surround Panning - Tascam DM-4800 Owner's Manual

When pan mode is on, the channel settings in the
BUSS ASSIGN screen look like all the channels in sur-
round set 3 (surround matrix 3) and channels 25
through 30 in surround matrix 2 in Figure 5.26, Sur-
round assignment.
When pan mode is off, the channel settings in the
screen look like all channels in surround
BUSS ASSIGN
set 1 (surround matrix 1), and channels 31 and 32 in
surround matrix 2as shown in Figure 5.26, Surround

Surround panning

There are two ways of viewing and setting the pan
position in the surround modes: an overview and a
detailed channel view (the L-R balance can also be
set in the FADER screen).
In the overview screen, 24 modules' basic surround
panning facilities are displayed:

•
Use the POD 3 encoder to select surround
matrix 1, 2 or 3 (
SRND SET
5 – Channel modules : Surround operations
).
The difference between these two modes is that when
pan mode is off, the channels can be assigned indi-
vidually to the surround channels (following Table
5.8, Buss assignments in surround mode).
When pan mode is on, the channels can be assigned
to the surround matrices as a whole (either 1, 2 or 3).
• In both cases, the POD 3 encoder is used to set
the modules displayed on screen (the
can also be used).
•
The POD 4 encoder is used to select the busses
to which the module is assigned, and the
key is used to assign the module, or
ENTER
release the module from the assignment.
• The indicators also mirror the cur-
ASSIGN
rent assignment status, and the
can also be used to make or break assign-
ments.
Note that when the pan mode is on, all the
indicators of one buss group (surround matrix) are
turned on with one key.
•
Use the POD 4 encoder to select the first 24
channel module layer, the second 24 or the
third 16 module layer (
Using the same assignments as in Figure 5.26, Sur-
round assignment, the modules where the pan mode
is off (channels 31 and 32 in matrix 2 in Figure 5.27,
Surround overview) cannot have any parameters
changed.
However, for channels with the pan mode on (chan-
nels 25 through 30 in matrices 2 and 3 in Figure 5.26,
Surround assignment), the following controls may be
used:
• POD 1 moves the channel position (shown as a
dot in the square) around from left to right
( LR ), and POD 2 moves it from front to rear
( FR ).
NOTE
In this screen, and the module surround screen, settings
are made independently for each channel, regardless of
the current channel link status.
