It is important to note the difference between the hardware inserts and the software inserts described here on the DM-3200. The hardware inserts are completely in the analog domain and apply only to the mic/line inputs.

The software inserts are available to many more internal modules. Although these insert loops may exit from the DM-3200 in either the analog or digital domain, they may also remain completely within the unit, using internal �patch� connections. These �soft� inserts allow 16 different input and output pairs to be defined as inserts at definable points in the DM-3200 signal path.

slots (note that a card such as the surround monitor card only has outputs and can therefore only act as a send group)

2 Select a send point in the SEND column from the group selected with POD 4 (this does not have to be the same as the return group�you could even have an analog send to an external effect with a digital return, for example). 3 Select the return point in the RETURN column from the group selected in the S/R TARGET area.
NOTE

Note that you cannot use a return module which has already been assigned as an input point.

When you have selected the send, return and module, you can then use the on-screen switches to select whether the insert point will be pre-fader (PRE) or post-fader (POST)�channel modules only, as the other modules do not allow the selection of the insert point, and this option is therefore not available when non-channel modules are selected. The insert point can also be turned ON and OFF here (allowing you to make easy A/B comparisons).

Send/return linking In some cases, the sends
and returns form a clearly-defined pair (for example, the assignable sends and returns). To make insert setup operations easier, check the S/R LINK checkbox at the bottom left of the screen. When this is checked, selecting a send point in the will automatically select the corresponding return point (or vice versa).
