Hi all!
I have a number of keyboards and samplers that I would love to be able to run simultaneously thru my DP-32SD in stereo, but at that point the total number of mono inputs will exceed the 8 of the system.
Not understanding too well the difference between TRS as a balanced line or TRS as stereo line, I bought some Y-splitter cables that will take the respective L or R channel of my instruments and combine them into a single TRS. So they arrived, I hooked them up to the DP-32SD, and then quickly discovered that this sums the two signals into one mono (and my kicks are gone).
At this point I am prepared to just accept that a stereo signal will take up 2 inputs of the unit, except one thing is still confusing me: sometimes my inputs differ (in the mixer screen) in regards to phase and pan/balance. For example, my input A will show Balance instead of Pan and two phase options, yet other inputs will be normal mono (pan option and single phase). And from my fiddling, I can't find a direct relationship between this phenomena and track assignment. If the inputs are all mono individually, why is there this option for balance and stereo phase?
I'm 98% sure I'm overlooking something glaringly obvious, if so please (softly) berate me.
