This chapter describes how to adjust the DM1000’s Input Channel parameters.
About Input Channels
The input Channel section enables you to adjust the level and tone of the signals input to 
the DM1000 and route the signals to Bus 1–8, Stereo Bus, and Aux Out 1–8. The following 
diagram illustrates the Input Channel signal flow.
• (Phase)
This section switches the phase of input signals.
•GATE
This dynamics processor can be used as a gate or for ducking.
•COMP (Compressor)
This dynamics processor can be used as compressor, expander or limiter. The compressor 
can be pre-EQ, pre-fader, or post-fader. 
•ATT (Attenuator)
This section enables you to attenuate  or amplify the level of signals that will be input to the 
EQ. The attenuator enables you to prevent post-EQ signals from clipping and to correct sig-
nal levels that are too low.
•4 BAND EQ (4-band equalizer)
This parametric EQ features four bands (high, high-mid, low-mid, and low).
•INPUT DELAY (Input delay)
This section enables you to delay input signals. You can use this delay to fine-tune the timing 
between channels, or as a delay effect with feedback.
•ON (On/Off)
This section enables you to turn the channel on or off. The channel is muted with the Off 
setting.
•LEVEL
This section enables you to adjust the input level of the Input Channel signal.

•PAN
This section enables you to adjust the pan setting of the signals routed from the Input Chan-
nels to the Stereo Bus. You can also apply the pan setting to a pair of Bus channels.
If the internal Surround Sound setting is activated, the Surround Pan settings for 3-1, 5.1, 
and 6.1 channels are available (see page 125).
•AUX (Aux Send level)
This section enables you to adjust the level of signals routed to Aux Out 1–8. The signals can 
be routed to Aux Sends from either the pre-fader or post-fader position.
•INSERT
This section enables you to patch input signals to external devices via the on-board I/O con-
nectors or I/O cards, or insert the internal effect processors.
•METER
This section enables you to switch the metering position of the signal levels that are dis-
played in the Meter page or on the optional MB1000 Meter Bridge. (See page 39 for more 
information on selecting the metering position.)
Tip:  You can store these channel parameter settings in the Channel library. You can also store 
the Gate, Compressor, and EQ parameter settings to the corresponding libraries.

Setting the Input Channels from the Display
To set the Input Channel parameters, you can either move the cursor to the desired param-
eter on the display and change the value, or operate the desired button or control on the top 
panel to directly change the setting.
This section explains how to set the parameters via the display.
Switching the Signal Phase
To switch the phase of each Input Channel, press the [ /INSERT/DELAY] button repeat-
edly until the following  /INS/DLY | Phase page appears.
Move the cursor to the NOR/REV button of the channel for which you want to change the 
phase, then press the [ENTER] or [INC]/[DEC] buttons to change the setting.
ANOR/REV
These buttons switch the corresponding Input Channel phase. NOR buttons indicate 
normal phase, and REV buttons indicate reversed phase.
BGLOBAL
The GLOBAL NOR/REV buttons allow you to set the phase for all Input Channels 
simultaneously.
Delaying Input Channels
To set the delay for each channel, press the [ /INSERT/DELAY] button repeatedly until 
the page listed below that contains the desired channels appears.
-DLY 1-16 page
This page enables you to set the Delay function for Input Channels 1–16.
-DLY 17-32 page
This page enables you to set the Delay function for Input Channels 17–32.
-DLY 33-48 page
This page enables you to set the Delay function for Input Channels 33–48. Tip:  
•The name of the currently-selected channel is indicated in the upper-right corner of the 
screen.
•You can set the phase separately for each channel in a channel pair.

The parameters on these three pages (and the procedure for setting them) are the same.
ADELAY SCALE
The following buttons determine the units of the delay value shown below the msec 
value.
•meter............................. Units are set to meters.
•feet................................. Units are set to feet.
•sample........................... Units are set to samples.
•beat................................ Units are set to beats.
•frame............................. Units are set to timecode frames.
BGANG button
When this button is turned on (highlighted), the delay time for each channel in a chan-
nel pair can be set simultaneously. When this option is turned off, the delay time can be 
set for each channel in a channel pair individually.
CChannel section
You can set individual delay parameters here. The delay parameters include the follow-
ing items:
•msec............................... This parameter sets the delay time in milliseconds.
•meter/feet/sample/
beat/frame.................... The delay time can be set using units of meters, feet, samples, 
beats, or frames, which you select by using the DELAY SCALE 
buttons.
•MIX................................ This parameter sets the mix balance of dry (Input Channel) 
and wet (delayed) signals.
•FB.GAIN....................... This parameter sets the amount of delay feedback.
Tip:  
•The delay time range depends on the sampling rate at which the DM1000 is operating. (For 
example, at 44.1 kHz, the range is 0 through 984.1 msec.)
•If you select the DELAY SCALE meter or feet button, the distance value can be converted to 
the delay time based on sonic speeds (about 340 m/sec at 15 degrees Celsius). This option is 
useful if you wish to correct the timing difference between two sound sources that are far 
apart.
•If you select the DELAY SCALE beat button, a parameter box for setting a note that repre-
sents the beat and a parameter box for a tempo (BPM) setting appear below the DELAY 
SCALE parameter. Setting the note and BPM settings in these parameter boxes enables you 
to set a delay time that synchronizes to the song tempo.

respectively.
Tip:  
•The LOW-band EQ functions as a high-pass filter when the Q parameter in the LOW section 
is set to HPF. It functions as a shelving-type EQ when the Q parameter is set to L.SHELF.
•The HIGH-band EQ functions as a low-pass filter when the Q parameter in the HIGH sec-
tion is set to LPF. It functions as a shelving-type EQ when the Q parameter is set to H.SHELF.
Tip:  
•You can also press the buttons in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to select the desired 
band and use the rotary controls to directly edit the Q, F, and G parameters (see page 75).

Panning Input Channels
Input Channels can be panned in the range of L63 through CENTER to R63. To pan each 
channel, press the [PAN/SURROUND] button repeatedly until one of the following pages 
that contains the desired channels appears.
-Pan1-32 page
This page enables you to set the pan for Input Channels 1–32.
-Pan33-48 page
This page enables you to set the pan for Input Channels 33–48.
The parameters on these two pages (and the procedure for setting them) are the same. Move 
the cursor to the desired Pan control, then rotate the Parameter wheel to set the value.
APan controls
These knobs adjust the channel pan settings.
Press the [ENTER] button to reset the currently-selected Pan control to center.
BMODE
The MODE parameter determines how paired Input Channels are panned. There are 
three Pan modes as follows:
•INDIVIDUAL............... In Individual mode, paired Input Channel 
pan controls operate independently.
•GANG............................ In Gang mode, paired Input Channel pan 
controls operate in unison, maintaining the 
current pan range.
•INV GANG................... In Inverse Gang mode, paired Input Channel 
pan controls operate in unison but move in 
opposite directions.
Tip:  
•You can use the Encoders to change the Input Channel pan settings (see page 75). This is 
useful if you wish to change the pan settings quickly. You can also use the Joystick in the 
SELECTED CHANNEL section to change the pan settings, unless the DM1000 is in Sur-
round mode.
•Surround Pan is available when the DM1000 is in Surround mode. Refer to Chapter 11 
“Surround Functions” on page 125 for more information on Surround Pan.
