Tascam DM-3200 User Manual

Use the cursor to highlight a group (numbered at the 
side of the screen) and use the channel 

 keys to 

add the channels to the group. Change fader layers if 
necessary, to add other channels to the group.

The first channel added to the group becomes the 
master, marked by a solid “blob”. The 

 key 

flashes, when the group is highlighted on screen.

Other channels can be added to the group following 
the master, marked by hollow “blobs” (if a channel 
already belongs to a group as a slave, it is removed 
from its original group). Slave channels in a group 
have their 

 key lit. 

To remove a channel from a group, press its 

 key 

so that it is unlit.

Pressing the flashing master 

SEL key brings up a popup panel:

Pressing 

 removes the whole group (cursor 

keys cancel the clear operation and leave the group as 
is).

The POD 4 switch or 

turn the highlighted 

group on or off, but do not clear the settings.

A group can become a sub-

group of another group, using the matrix at the bot-
tom of the screen.

Move the cursor so that it highlights a master group 
(down the left side of the matrix—the 

 key corre-

sponding to the master group lights) and use 

 

keys 1 through 8 (regardless of layer) to set sub-
groups.

A “tree” diagram appears at the side of the matrix as 
you set up the groups:

In Figure 5.26, Grouping groups, group 5 is con-
trolled by group 3, which in turn is controlled 
(together with group 6) by group 4.

In other words, the 

 key of the master channel 

of group 4 affects the 

 keys of all channels of 

groups 3, 5 and 6.

The 

on-screen 

MUTE->FADER LINK

 button allows the set-

tings made for the mute groups to be transferred to 
the fader groups.

These work in the same way as for mute groups.

Master and slave channels are set for each group 
using the 

 keys, and groups can be grouped in 

exactly the same way as mute groups.

Groups can be turned on and off. 

Although these settings and actions are independent 
of the mute group settings described above, there is a 

FADER->MUTE LINK 

on-screen button that allows the 

settings made for the fader groups to be transferred to 
the mute group settings.
