Faders The fader settings correspond to the layer currently selected with the fader keys. The FADER page shows both mute and fader groups and the fader position plus their respective values in decimal format. Press one of the four fader buttons to switch between the four available layers (Ch 1-16, Ch 17-32, Bus Out 1-16, AUX/FX). Channel Control and to adjust the send masters. For example, press the AUX 3 key to use the channel controllers to adjust the AUX 3 send levels for each channel. The blue CHANNEL CONTROL keys determine the functions of the various channel controllers. Depending on which key you select, the channel controllers will perform the associated function. Press one of the AUX keys to display the AUX Sends page, where you can use the display encoders to control the four AUX sends from the Send page, press one of the keys repeatedly to display the respective Effects page and finally the LIB (library) page, where you can save your own effects settings. The useful A/B function allows you to make easy comparisons between two different effect variations. With the keys FX 1 through FX 4 you can adjust the channel and master sends as well as configure the four internal effects. Starting Proc (Processing) The COMP page with added graphics allows easy adjustment of the compressor parameters. The compressor’s characteristic curve displays exactly how the signals are being processed, while the input and gain reduction level meters give you visual level control. The same applies to the GATE page. The third page here is the LIB page, which allows you to save your settings. The EQ page displays all relevant information on the currently selected channel EQ, showing you which frequencies are being processed in what manner. The graphic window complements the value display. The channel controllers allow signal processing via the four fully parametric EQ bands. This page also gives access to the sweepable high-pass filter. Finally, the LIB page can be used to save and recall various settings. The PHASE/DELAY page allows effective compensation for any runtime-induced sound deterioration, which is caused for example by multiple microphones placed at various distances to the sound source. In addition, the input delay can be used for effects. Just set the parameters Feedback, Mix and Delay to achieve the effect you want. The BPM indicator allows easy adaptation to the song tempo. 9 This ROUTING page is available on each channel. Here, you can route the single channels to the 16 busses, either pre or postfader. The Pan control adjusts the volume ratio within a paired bus, e.g. 1 and 2. General ton gives you access to the clock settings, while PREFS (Preferences) allows you to customize all operating functions. The Input Matrix allows you to assign the physical inputs in groups of 8 to the 32 channels on your DDX3216. It is also possible to route one input to two channels to allow various processing or mix parameters of the same signal. Configuration of installed options is handled on the Output page. Here, you can assign signals to the four multi outputs. Use the display controllers to dial in the desired settings. Signals can be selected from any of the 16 busses, the main output, the 8 sends and/or the solo bus. Fader and mute groups can be formed easily by selecting the channels/mutes in question. If you wish to change the volume settings within a group later on, use the Isolate key to temporarily “dissolve” the group and adapt the volumes. The Pair function allows you to form stereo channel pairs. The oscillator can also be routed to all busses and sends, as well as the main and solo busses. A wide variety of waveforms can be generated for maximum flexibility. Additionally, the SETUP/OSC but- Automation channels to be recorded are enabled with the AUTO/REC buttons on each channel. The Relative Mode simplifies editing of an existing dynamic mix. The internal dynamic automation can be synchronized with external devices. The display controllers also allow you to control external tape machines via MMC (MIDI Machine Control). The 10 The built-in PCMCIA card slot enables quick storage and backup of user data. The various FILES pages allow formatting of PCMCIA cards as well as data transfer via the serial interface with our free Windows® file exchange software or MIDI. Power-Packed Options ADT1616 16-Channel ADAT ® Interface for DDX3216 AES808/ACB808P 8-Channel AES/EBU Interface for DDX3216 /19" Connector Box TDF1616 16-Channel TDIF Interface for DDX3216 The ADT1616 gives you digital access to the numerous digital recorders, synthesizers and outboard gear that support the ADAT® multi-channel optical digital format. Its “double” I/O offers 16 inputs and outputs (2 x 8 each). The auto-clock data stream allows the DDX3216 to be synchronized with external ADAT® devices without an additional wordclock connection. Our AES/EBU interface complies with the AES3 format and allows for two-channel auto-clock/auto-sync transmission with a resolution of up to 24 bits with cable lengths of up to 1,500 feet. The AES808 offers 4 2-channel inputs and outputs and comes complete with the rackmountable breakout connector box ACB808P and a connection cable. The TDF1616 allows you to digitally transfer audio data to and from a TASCAM® digital recorder. Again, you get 2 x 8 inputs and outputs for 16-channel transmission with a single connection. Although TASCAM® recommends using a separate wordclock connection, later models of their digital recorders allow synchronization via the TDIF interface.
