TASCAM DM-24 Effects

WARNING

Although it is theoretically possible to select both an
aux send and an aux insert as input sources for an
effect, a few seconds’ thought will show that this will
result in a feedback loop, resulting in possible damage
to equipment (and ears!). You should therefore avoid
making this type of setting.

A popup message appears to show that the assign-
ment has been made.

NOTE

The same source cannot be selected twice to feed two
different effect inputs (except for the aux sends). A
popup message appears to warn of attempted dupli-
cate assignments.

Any send/return assignments made to the effects will
override any assignments made to external send/return
insert loops.

The effect output destination cannot be selected here—
the destination of the effect outputs is determined by
the choice of the input source, and in the case of the
aux sends by the settings made in the I/O screens.

Mono and stereo inputs

The DM-24 internal effects are either single-channel
or two-channel, as listed at the start of this section.

At the top of the input/output patch section for each
effect, there is a field called

INTYPE

(input type).

In the case of single-channel effects, the only option
available is

Mono

.

In the case of dual-channel effects, there is a pair of
radio buttons:

Stereo

and

Mono

. Select one of these as

appropriate, depending on whether one mono source,
or a stereo pair of sources (e.g. a pair of aux sends)
will be used to feed the effect.

Once again, we recommend that only pairs of inputs
(e.g. stereo inserts, odd-even pair buss and aux
inserts and odd/even pairs of aux sends) are selected
as stereo inputs for the effects.

The number of outputs available for an effect
depends on a number of factors: the type of effect
currently selected, the mono/stereo input type cur-
rently selected, and the destination of the effect (for
instance, if effect 1 is patched in series with a sin-
gle-channel effect used in effect 2, only one channel
is output from effect 1).

Example 1 (Loop/insert setting with
1=mono input and 2=stereo input

In this

example, the delay line is fed by a mono signal
source (for example a microphone) and the output is
spread between the left and right outputs.

The stereo inputs to the plate reverb maintain the
image of the stereo source (for example, if a pair of
overhead mics has been set up to record a drum kit).
