Handling of the internal hard disk Do not apply physical shock to this device. In particu- lar, you must never move this device or apply physi- cal shock while the power is turned on. This can cause part or all of the data on disk to be lost, or may dam- age the hard disk or interior components.

When this device is moved to a location where the temperature is radically different, water droplets may condense on the hard disk. If the device is used in this condition, it may malfunction, so please allow several hours to pass before operating the device.

Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly. This may damage the D32XD/D16XD.

This device begins to access the hard disk immedi- ately after the power is turned on.

Never turn off the power while the HDD access indi- cator is lit or blinking. Doing so can cause all or part of the data on hard disk to be lost, or may cause malfunc- tions such as hard disk damage.

If the hard disk has been damaged due to incorrect operation, power failure, or accidental interruption of the power supply, a fee may be charged for replacement even if this device is still within its warranty period.

Data handling Incorrect operation or malfunction may cause the contents of memory to be lost, so we recommend that you save impor- tant data on a CD or other media. Please be aware that Korg will accept no responsibility for any damages which may re- sult from loss of data. Also, when digitally recording copyrighted audio material from a DAT or CD etc., you must obtain permission for use.

Printing conventions in this manual

Differences between the D32XD and D16XD In the text and illustrations of this manual, explanations enclosed by [* ] refer to the D16XD. Unless there are sig- nicant differences, the illustrations and LCD screens are taken from the D32XD.

Keys, buttons, and knobs Words or values printed on the panel, such as MASTER fader or REC/PLAY key are printed in bold type, and parameter values are printed in bold type within dou- ble quotation marks. Bold type is also used to indicate content within the text that we wish to emphasize.

Parameters that appear in the LCD screen Parameters that appear in the LCD screen are printed within double quotation marks. However, bold type is also used for screen items such as the Yes button and CH cell. The D32XD/D16XD uses Korgs TouchView LCD tech- nology, allowing a parameter, cell, button, or icon dis- played on the screen to be selected simply by touching it. For most operations, you can also use the cursor keys (, , , ) to move to the desired parameter, and press the ENTER key to make a selection. The example operations described in this manual mainly use the TouchView panel.

Steps (1) (2) (3) ... Steps in a procedure are indicated as (1) (2) (3) ...

Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Korg D32XD Xtended Denition/D16XD Xtended Def- inition Digital Recording Studio. To take full advantage of the D32XD/D16XDs functions, and to enjoy trouble- free use, please read this manual carefully and use this product only as directed. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Included items Make sure that the following included items are present.

Before using the D32XD/D16XD for the rst time

Please observe the following points when using the D32XD/D16XD.

Power on/off The D32XD/D16XD is a precision instrument, similar to a personal computer, equipped with an internal hard disk drive and a CD-R/RW drive. When turning the power on and off, follow the procedures shown below.

Before you turn on the power, make sure that the power cable is firmly plugged into the D32XD/D16XD and into an AC outlet.

Power-on (1)Lower the D32XD/D16XDs MONITOR LEVEL knob to the

position. Set the volume controls of your external equip- ment to their lowest position.

(2)Turn on the power of external input devices such as key- boards that are sending audio to the D32XD/D16XD.

(3)Turn on the main power switch (POWER ON) located on the rear panel of the D32XD/D16XD. The STANDBY indicator will light. The D32XD/D16XD is now in the standby condition.

(4)Press the power (ON) key located on the top panel to turn the D32XD/D16XD on. The opening screen will appear in the LCD, and then the SelectSong tab page of SONG page mode will appear. The next time you turn the power on, the song that been selected prior to the previous power-off will be selected.

(5)Turn on the power of your external output devices, such as the monitor system to which the D32XD/D16XD is send- ing audio. If the power is turned off accidentally while the D32XD/D16XD is being used, the D32XD/D16XD itself or its internal hard disk drive may be damaged.

Power-off (1)Lower the D32XD/D16XDs MONITOR LEVEL knob to the position.

(2)Turn off any devices connected to the D32XD/D16XDs outputs, such as your monitor system.

(3)Hold down the D32XD/D16XDs power (ON) key (for 23 seconds) and the shutdown LCD screen appear. If you press the Yes button in the LCD screen, the song will be saved automatically, and the D32XD/D16XD will enter the standby state. This process is called shutdown. If you press the No button, you will return to the previous screen.

(4)Press the main power switch (POWER ON) located on the rear panel of the D32XD/D16XD to turn off the power.

(5)Turn off any devices (such as keyboards) connected to the D32XD/D16XDs inputs. When turning the power off, you must perform the shutdown process. Never turn off the main power switch or dis- connect the power cable before shutdown has been completed.

If you turn off the main power switch or disconnect the power cable before shutdown has been completed, data or user settings will be lost, and the hard disk may be damaged.

The audio you record into the D32XD/D16XD and the mixer and effect settings you make are automatically saved when you select a song or perform the shutdown process.

Perform the shutdown process when you have finished all activities such as playback or recording. If you will not be using the D32XD/D16XD for an extended period of time (for example when you have finished working for the day), you must turn off the main power switch on the back of the D32XD/D16XD.

Adjusting the Sensitivity of the Moving Faders (D32XD) The D32XD has touch-sensitive moving faders. By touching a fader that is being automatically moved by event automation, you can halt automatic changes for that channel. By default, the moving fader sensitivity is set to a standard value. However, we recommend that you adjust the sensitiv- ity so that it will be optimal for your environment and the way in which you use the D32XD.

(1) Press the SONG key, and then press the SelectSong tab.

(2)Press TouchSenseAdjust in the song list to highlight it, and then press the Select button.

(3)Press the 116/1732 key to switch to faders 1732 (the 1732 LED will light).

(4) Press the SYSTEM key, and then press the Control tab.

(5)Set the Fader Touch Sens value to 30 using the value dial or the +/ keys. If youre using a grounded power cable, set the value to 80.

(6)Press the PLAY key to start playing the song Touch- SenseAdjust (the faders will move automatically). Then touch the faders.

(7) If the icon changes to the icon when you touch two or more faders simultaneously, increase the Fader Touch Sens value.

(8) If touching one fader halts the movement of adjacent faders, decrease the Fader Touch Sens value. If you need to touch a larger number of faders simultaneous- ly, increase the Fader Touch Sens value slightly.

Repeatedly playing back the song TouchSenseAdjust (in- cluded on the internal drive when the D32XD is shipped) for an extended period of time will shorten the lifespan of the fad- ers. Use this song only when you need to adjust the touch sensitivity of the faders; do not play it back continuously for any other purpose.

TouchView LCD Both the angle and contrast of the LCD (p.9) can be adjusted for optimal visibility. If it seems that the items displayed in the TouchView LCD are not aligned with the locations required to select them, please perform the Calibration operation (p.95). In the default factory settings, the D32XD/D16XD is set to sound a beep when you select any parameter or operation shown in the touch screen. If you want to silence this beep, press the SYSTEM key, and in the Control tab page turn the Beep setting off (p.126).

Setting the calendar When a song is saved, the file is time-stamped with the date and time provided by the internal calendar. Set the calendar clock (p.180) before you use the D32XD/D16XD for the first time, after replacing the calendar battery (p.179), or if you need to change the calendar date and time for any other reason.

When the D32XD/D16XD is shipped, the calendar time will not have been set.

Connection example This diagram shows typical connections when using the D32XD/D16XD. Connect your equipment as appropriate for your system.

Cautions when making digital connections If any of the synchronization settings of the D32XD/D16XD do not match those of the con- nected device, noise may occur. Turn down the faders or minimize the volume of your monitor speakers before you change settings.

If you select a song that has a different sampling frequency, noise may occur when the change occurs. Turn down your monitors before you make such a change.

Main features Features enclosed by [* ] are for the D16XD.

32 [*16]-track digital multi-track recorder The D32XD/D16XD provides studio-quality sound with 64-bit internal processing, 24/16-bit recording and playback, and 96 kHz/48 kHz/44.1 kHz uncompressed recording.

When using 48 kHz/44.1 kHz sampling and 16-bit depth 1

When using 48 kHz/44.1 kHz sampling and 24-bit depth 1

When using 96 kHz sampling and 24-bit depth 1

Each track (including the master track) has eight virtual tracks, allowing you to use a total of 256 [*128] + 16 tracks for each song.

1 The number of simultaneously recordable tracks will be different when you use punch recording.

XLR input jacks with +48V phantom power, analog inputs, dedicated gui- tar input jack, and digital connectors To maximize the benet of the D32XD/D16XDs full-digital processing, all of the analog inputs use high-performance balanced pre amps.

The eight +48V phantom-powered XLR input jacks contain high-performance mic preamps. Each of the phantom power supplies can be switched on/off individually, so you are free to mix condenser mics and dynamic mics.

All phone jack inputs (except for the guitar input jack) are the TRS balanced type. Unbalanced inputs may also be connected to these jacks. A wide range of audio sources can be connected, ranging from mic level all the way up to +26 dBu, exceeding normal professional levels. A dedicated guitar input jack is also provided.

The S/P DIF digital input supports sampling frequencies of 96 kHz/48 kHz/ 44.1 kHz, and 24- and 16-bit depths.

8-channel analog input board (AIB-8: optional) provides a total of sixteen analog inputs Using the optional AIB-8, you can add eight more analog inputs, for a total of sixteen. Balanced TRS jacks are provided, and unbalanced inputs may also be connected to these jacks.

8-channels of analog compression provided for the analog input section Analog compressors allow you to apply dynamics processing to adjust the level of the analog signal before it is converted into digital data. This provides the distinctive character of analog compression that cannot be duplicated by a digital compressor, and can prevent clipping before A/D conversion.

An analog compressor board (ACB-8: optional) can also be installed on the 8- channel analog input board (AIB-8: optional). If the AIB-8 and ACB-8 are both installed, you can assign analog compressors to all sixteen analog inputs.

Maximum simultaneous recording/playback 16 tracks/32 [*16] tracks

Maximum simultaneous recording/playback 8 tracks/16 tracks

Maximum simultaneous recording/playback 4 tracks/8 tracks

Installable ADAT I/O board (DIB-8: optional) This board provides eight channels of ADAT format digital input and output, plus word clock input/output. ADAT input/output supports 48 kHz/44.1 kHz sampling frequencies and 24/16-bit depths.

Mixer section provides four-band EQ on each channel/track and eight- band master EQ The 56-channel/14-bus [*40-channel/12-bus] mixer section provides full-par- ametric 4-band equalization with selectable high/low shelving on the mixer channels, and 2-band shelving EQ on the sub-mixer. The EQ applied to the input during recording is independent from the EQ applied to the track during playback, so there is no danger of applying the same EQ twice a problem that often occurs on MTR units containing con- ventional analog mixers. Eight-band full parametric equalization is provided for the master EQ, allow- ing you to make detailed adjustments to the tone during mastering.

100 scene memories, and MIDI control of mixer parameters For each song, you can store one hundred scenes containing the fader, EQ, pan, and effect settings of the mixer section. Scenes can be easily recalled when desired as general-purpose settings. You can also use MIDI to switch scenes, and to transmit and receive mixer parameters such as fader and pan.

Scene automation switches scenes automatically (D16XD) Scenes can switch automatically according to elapsed playback time.

Record and play back mixer parameter automation events in synchroni- zation with the song (D32XD) Scene changes and mixer events such as fader movements and panning oper- ations can be recorded and reproduced according to elapsed playback time. Scene automation can be used to switch scenes automatically.

Automation playback with moving faders (D32XD) The D32XD uses seventeen 100 mm motorized - or ying - faders to adjust the channel balance in realtime. When recording, playing back, or recalling a scene when automation is on, the faders will move to their programmed loca- tions. These faders are touch-sensitive. By touching a fader that is being auto- matically moved by event automation, you can halt automatic changes for that channel.

Powerful modeling effects operated by control knobs The built-in effects utilize Korgs proprietary modeling technology to deliver precise and powerful modeling sounds. You can use the four control knobs to edit effect parameters quickly and intu- itively. The modeling effects include simulations of vacuum tube preamps, classic amps and cabinets from around the world, and mic simulators for vintage tube mics and modern studio condenser mics.

Three independent effect systems for simultaneous use You can use up to a total of twenty-seven [*eleven] effects, each with internal 56-bit processing: 24 [*8] insert effects, 2 master effects, and 1 nal effect. For each effect, you can select an effect program consisting of one of 52 differ- ent effect algorithms (combinations of basic effects). The effect programs include 128 preset programs created by professional musicians and studio engineers, and 128 user effect programs that you can use to create, edit and store your own custom effect settings.

6

In addition, each song has 32 editable song effect programs. You can also control effects in realtime from an external MIDI controller or from an expression pedal (EXP-2, XVP-10: sold separately).

Sophisticated editing functionality Non-destructive editing functions (possible only on digital recorders) allow you to perform numerous edits without compromising the high audio quality. In addition to auto and manual punch-in/out, there are Undo and Redo func- tions that allow you to audition the before and after versions of any edit, before making it permanent. You can use Undo to retrace your steps through the sixteen most recent recording or editing operations! A total of twelve types of track editing operation are provided, including a convenient Time Expansion/Compression function that lets you match up phrases of differing tempo after recording, and a Normalize function that appropriately boosts the volume and increases the dynamic range of low-level recordings. For each song you can assign one hundred markers (with names) and six locate points to keep track of (and instantly access) the locations of all your edits.

Easy operation The TouchView system lets you operate the D32XD/D16XD simply by touch- ing the large 320 240 pixel LCD screen a revolutionary leap in fast, intui- tive operation. Knobs for editing the effects are located below the large LCD screen, and ded- icated EQ and send knobs are located to the right of the screen, making it easy to adjust these parameters in realtime.

Internal hard disk drive A high-capacity hard disk drive is built-in, providing approximately three hours of recording time per GB (16-bit, 44.1 kHz, single track recording).

CD-R/RW drive for creating audio CDs You can use the CD drive to backup/restore song and effect data, import/ export audio les, and create audio CDs. You can also insert an audio CD in the drive, and patch the audio to a mixer channel for recording or playback. You can create an audio CD either by writing songs individually using Track At Once or by using Disc At Once with the album edit function.

USB connection for easy data exchange with your computer The USB connector makes it easy to exchange data with your computer. You can connect the D32XD/D16XD to your computer and use 2 GB of the D32XD/D16XDs hard drive capacity as a PC drive for shared data.

What is ? (Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System) is Korgs

proprietary technology for digitally recreating the numerous factors that pro- duce and influence a sound, ranging from the sound-production mechanisms of acoustic instruments and electric/electronic musical instruments, to the resonances of an instrument body or speaker cabinet, the sound field in which the instrument is played, the propagation route of the sound, the elec- trical and acoustic response of mics and speakers, and the changes produced by vacuum tubes and transistors.

The balanced XLR jacks for INPUT 18 provide +48V phantom power for use by condenser mics; you can switch this on/off independently for each channel.

Your equipment may be damaged if you connect or disconnect a condenser mic with phantom power turned on. You must turn phantom power off before connecting condenser mics.

2 MONITOR LEVEL knob This knob sets the volume level of the signal being sent from the MONITOR OUT L/R jacks.

3 PAD buttons The pad will reduce the input level by 26 dB. The pad is on when the switch is pressed in. You can extend the adjustable range of the TRIM knob by turning the pad on when using a line input. Leave the pad switched off for a low-output device such as a mic or guitar.

4 TRIM knobs These knobs adjust the input level. The LED located at the upper right of each knob will light to indicate the following conditions.

Lit green: an input signal is present Lit orange: nominal input level Lit red: input overload

Use the TRIM knob to make adjustments so that this indicator does not light red when the input level from the connected device reaches its loudest point. The TRIM knob has a range of +14 to 34 dBu when PAD is on, or 12 to 60 dBu when PAD is off. The markings around the knob indicate the input level. The input level will depend on the instrument or performance, but the approximate ranges are as follows.

60 40 dBu: mic input 30 dBu: guitar, bass guitar 10 dBu: consumer audio devices such as a CD player +4 dBu: keyboards or studio equipment If the TRIM knob is raised when nothing is connected to the input, hum or noise may re- sult. Keep the trim knob at its lowest setting when the channel is not in use.

5 CH SELECT keys Pressing one of these keys will select the track that is currently active in the Ch View, EQ/ATT, or the various SEND tab pages. The selected CH SELECT key will light.

6 CH ON/SOLO keys The operation of these keys will depend on the mode selected by the CH ON/SOLO mode key (See item 11). In CH ON mode, these keys enable/disable each channel. They can be used as a channel mute function. The key will be lit when on (enabled) and dark when off (disabled). In SOLO mode, pressing a key will turn the SOLO on/off for that channel. You may solo more than one channel if desired. In SOLO mode, the selected keys will blink.

7 REC/PLAY keys These keys switch each recorder track between the record and playback modes. Each time you press one of these keys, the track status will change.

Key lit green: PLAY (playback) Key lit red: REC (record)

If the master track MASTER TRACK STATUS key is set to PLAY, all tracks will automatically be muted (Key dark).

8 PAN knobs (1...16) ----------- D16XD These knobs adjust the pan (left/right position) of the stereo signal being sent from each channel to the master LR bus. If pairing is on, these knobs will func- tion as specied by the Pan Mode setting in the Ch Pair tab page.

9 Channel faders (1/1716/32) [*(116)] The faders adjust the recording/playback volume of each channel. The D32XD has touch-sensitive moving faders.

Do not apply excessive force to the moving faders. Doing so will create excessive load, and may damage the motors of the moving faders.

Do not place any objects on the moving faders. Objects placed on the faders may fall when the faders move, and will subject the faders to strain, possibly damaging them.

10 116/1732 key ----------- D32XD This switch selects whether the channel faders, REC/PLAY keys, CH ON/SOLO keys, and CH SELECT keys will apply to channels 116 or to channels 17-32. Each time you press this, the setting will alternate between 116 and 1732, and the 116 (green) or 1732 (orange) indicator at the right will light.

11 CH ON/SOLO mode key This key switches the mode of the CH ON/SOLO keys. Each time you press this key, the indicator at left will indicate whether the CH ON (lit green) or SOLO (lit orange) mode is selected. Pressing a CH button in the MIXER, SOLO/MONI- TOR Solo tab page will forcibly switch to SOLO mode.

12 MASTER TRACK STATUS key This key switches the master track between recording/playback/mute. The set- ting will alternate each time you press this key.

Key lit green: PLAY (playback) Key lit red: REC (record) Key dark: muted

13 MASTER fader The MASTER fader adjusts the overall volume. When the master track is being recorded, this fader sets the recording level. The D32XD has touch-sensitive moving faders.

Normally, you will leave the MASTER fader set to 0 dBu while recording on the individual tracks, and use the channel faders to adjustment the mix so the output does not distort.

Do not apply excessive force to the moving faders. Doing so will create excessive load, and may damage the motors of the moving faders.

Do not place any objects on the moving faders. Objects placed on the faders may fall when the faders move, and will subject the faders to strain, possibly damaging them.

14 DISPLAY UP/DOWN By pressing this button on the back edge of the display, you can adjust the angle of the LCD screen over seven steps for best visibility.

Do not use excessive force to move the screen.

15 LCD screen The D32XD/D16XD features Korgs TouchView technology. This allows you to select pages, tabs, and parameters by simply using your nger to touch the but- tons, icons or edit cells shown in the LCD screen. During recording or playback, this screen displays volume information (level meters), time data (locations), and various parameters.

The response of the TouchView display can be set using the Calibration operation (p.95). Use the Calibration procedure if the location on the screen that must be touched to select an item is not perfectly aligned with where the item is displayed.

4. Effects and EQ (equalizer) If you want to record the sound of the connected devices without any further processing, proceed to 5. Recording. If you want to use the D32XD/D16XDs internal effects and 4-band parametric EQ to process the sound before it is record- ed, read the following sections Applying effects to the input sound and Ad- justing the EQ.

Applying effects to the input sound Its also easy to apply the D32XD/D16XDs effects after recording the sound (p.29).

Heres how to apply effects to the input from your guitar.

(1)Press the EFFECT key and select the Routing A [*EFFRouting] tab page.

(2)Press the InsEFF1 IN/TR cell (it will become highlighted) and use the +/ keys to select IN. IN stands for Input, and TR stands for Track; choose IN if you want to apply the effect to the input sound, or TR if you want to apply the effect to the play- back.

(3)Press the InsEFF1 CH cell (highlighted) and use the +/ keys to select 1.

(4)Press the InsEFF1 edit cell (highlighted). Then press the Select button.

(5)The Select Effect Category dialog box will appear. Here you can select what type of effect you want to use on the guitar. For this example, select Dynamics&Filter from the Mono category.

(6)The Select EFF Program dialog box will appear. Here you can select the effect. For this example press Compressor and then press the OK button.

With this setting, Compressor can be applied as insert effect 1 to the sound from input 1.

You can apply effects to the mic and keyboard inputs in the same way.

(7)Set InsEFF2 to IN, and CH to 2. For the InsEFF2 edit cell, select the Room effect from Reverb&Delay in the Mono category.

(8)Set InsEFF3 to IN and CH to 3, and set InsEFF4 to IN and CH to 4. For the InsEFF3 edit cell, select the Rotary Speaker effect from SFX&etc in the Stereo category. Because this is a stereo effect, the same effect will automati- cally be selected for InsEFF4. (p.56 Effects)

For details on editing the parameters of the effects you selected, refer to 4. Editing the effects (p.59).

Step 4: Mixdown and mastering Mixdown refers to the process of applying insert effects, master effects, and EQ to the recorded tracks, adjusting the overall balance, and then combining everything into a two- track stereo mix. Once you have mixed-down a song, you can apply a final ef- fect and EQ to add compression and adjust the overall tone to create a finished master; this process is called master- ing. On the D32XD/D16XD, you can perform the mastering and the stereo mix-down at the same time.

1. Applying effects and EQ to individual channels

Applying effects to individual channels/tracks (Insert Effect) You can apply an effect to the playback of an individual track by assigning an insert effect to that mixer channel.

(1)Press the EFFECT key and select the Routing A [*EFFRouting] tab page.

(2)Press the IN/TR cell (it will become highlighted), and use the +/ keys to select TR.

(3)Perform the actions described begin- ning with step (3) under Applying effects to the input sound (p.24).

Applying EQ to each channel/track (1)Press the MIXER key, and select EQ/PHASE/REC [*EQ/ATT/PHASE] in the

page jump menu. Then select the EQ/ATT tab page. You can move from another tab page or page mode directly to the EQ/ATTtab page by turning one of the EQ knobs or pressing one of the EQ keys (High, Hi-Mid, Lo-Mid, Low) located at the right of the LCD screen.

(4) Use the ZOOM buttons to adjust the size and range of the displayed waveform.

(5) Turn the value dial to nd the location while you listen to the sound. The track audio will play back according to the direction and speed at which you turn the value dial. The Loc cell and the vertical bar indicate the location of the audio you are hearing.

When you reach the desired location, press the STORE key and register the location in a LOC key or a mark.

Finding a zero-cross point If you press the Search Zero button, the location will move only to points where the waveform level crosses the 0 point. Turn the dial toward the right to move to the next zero-cross point. Turn the dial toward the left to move to the previous zero- cross point.

When using loop playback, or when setting IN, OUT, TO, and END points for a track editing operation, setting the location at a zero-cross point will ensure a smoother transition.

You cannot hear the audio while the Search Zero button is on.

You can store your own settings in a user compression pro- gram, and recall it in the same way as a preset program.

The analog compressors are particularly effective in cases such as the following:

If the input material uctuates widely between low and high levels, adjusting the level according to the high por- tions will make the volume too low when a low-level por- tion follows. In such situations, use compression to hold down the volume of the high-level portions and boost the low-level portions, making the volume more consistent.

When inputting a vocal from a mic, compression can be used to prevent the peaks from clipping during climactic passages or shouts.

Compression can be used to enhance the sound of a gui- tar, making it more cohesive.

Due to the characteristics of analog circuitry, it will take approxi- mately 15 minutes after power-on for the value of the parameter settings to stabilize.

Using the analog compressors

3. Mixer settings Adjust the overall sound of your song by using the mixer sec- tion to set the volume, tone, and pan settings for input or playback.

For details on effect settings, refer to Effects (p.56).

3-1. Adjusting the volume

Adjusting the volume level of each channel Use the channel faders to adjust the input or playback vol- ume. Raise or lower the fader to adjust the volume. If channels are paired, use the odd-numbered channel

fader (p.49). You can store these settings in a scene (p.52). On the D32XD you can record these adjustments as auto-

mation (p.54).

The channel faders have a range from silence () unity gain (0 dB) +6 dB of gain.

Inputting a source at the maximum level Ideally, an audio source you want to record should be input at the highest possible volume that does not cause clipping. To record at the ideal maximum level on the D32XD/D16XD, make adjustments according to the signal flow described be- low.

1. Analog input jack (INPUT 116) TRIM This is the rst adjustment that affects the level of the input source. Channels to which an insert effect is not applied

Refer to 1-1. Analog input, step (4) (p.42). Channels to which an insert effect is applied

Access the EFFECT, InsertEff tab page, and select the effect for the channel you are adjusting.

Set Trim to 100. Adjust the TRIM knob so that the FX IN level

meter does not reach CLP when the audio signal is input.

For details, refer to 4-3. Insert EFF (p.119).

Since the signals from the S/P DIF or ADAT jacks are input at unity gain (0 dB), you do not need to adjust the TRIM.

2. Insert effect TRIM In some cases, applying effects to the input signal you adjusted in step 1 may increase the volume, causing dis- tortion. In this case, make the following adjustment. Access the EFFECT, InsertEFF tab page, and use the

InsEffect edit cell to select the effect whose level you want to adjust.

Adjust Trim so that the FX OUT level meter does not reach CLP when the audio signal is input.

For details, refer to 4-3. Insert EFF (p.119).

3. Attenuator Finally, applying EQ may increase the volume level, causing the sound to distort. In this case, make the fol- lowing adjustment. Access the MIXER, EQ/PHASE/REC [*EQ/ATT/

PHASE], EQ/ATT tab page, use the CH SELECT keys to select the channel that you are inputting, and set the REC/PLAY key to REC.

Adjust ATT so that the PRE level meter does not reach CLP when the audio signal is input.

For details, refer to 3d-1. EQ/ATT (p.109).

Adjusting the overall volume level Use the MASTER fader to adjust the volume of the MASTER OUT jacks and the level of the signal being recorded on the master track.

Use the MONITOR VOLUME knob to adjust the volume of the MONITOR OUT jacks.

Use the MONITOR VOLUME knob or PHONES VOLUME knobs to adjust the volume of the headphone jacks.

3-2. Adjusting the pan Use the PAN knobs to adjust the pan (stereo position) of each channel. You can store these settings in a scene (p.52). If channels are paired, you can select how the PAN knob

will operate. (p.102) On the D32XD you can record these adjustments as auto-

mation (p.54).

3-3. EQ (Equalizer) The EQ can be used to cut unwanted frequency regions such as hiss, or to shape the tonal character by boosting or cutting a specific low- or high-frequency region. The D32XD/D16XD provides channel EQ for adjusting the tone of each channel, and master EQ for adjusting the tone of the master bus.

Channel EQ You can use four-channel full-parametric EQ to adjust the tone of each channel.

Adjust the channel EQ in the MIXER, EQ/PHASE/REC [*EQ/ ATT/PHASE], EQ/ATT tab page, or in the CH VIEW, Ch View tab page.

When you operate one of the EQ knobs or keys located at the right of the LCD screen, the EQ/ATT tab page will appear automati- cally, allowing you to edit the EQ immediately. However if you are in the CH VIEW Ch Routing tab page, you will make adjustments in the Ch View tab page.

Applying EQ to an audio input You can apply EQ to an audio input, and record the EQed sound.

(1) Input an audio signal. (p.42 1. Inputting audio to the mixer)

(2) Access the MIXER, EQ/PHASE/REC [*EQ/ATT/ PHASE], EQ/ATT tab page, and make sure that the REC/PLAY key of the channel whose EQ you want to adjust is set to REC (key lit red).

(3) Press the appropriate CH SELECT key, and make sure that it is set to IN.

(3) Use the Pan Mode radio buttons to select how the PAN knob will operate for paired channels (p.102).

3-6. Group settings (D32XD) On the D32XD, multiple channels can be assigned to a Group. Operating the fader of any channel assigned to that group will adjust the volume of all channels in the group while maintaining their relative volume balance. This can be extremely useful. As an example, you could assign all the Drum tracks to one group, and use a single fader to bring all the drum tracks up and down in the mix. In addition to fader groups, you can also assign each channel to a CH ON group. Switching the CH ON key of any channel in that group will switch all channels in the group. In this way, if you had three tracks of backing vocals, you could turn all three off with a single key.

Fader groups (1) Access the MIXER, PAIR/GROUP, FaderGroup tab

page.

(2) Use the radio buttons to select a group (AD) for each channel fader.

(3) Use the Fader Group On buttons AD to enable the desired groups. You may enable more than one group.

CH ON groups (1) Access the MIXER, PAIR/GROUP, ChOnGroup tab

4. Storing/recalling a scene You can register frequently-used mixer settings at a desired location and store them as a scene for later recall. After recalling a scene, you can store it again as a new scene, or edit some of the mixer settings and store (overwrite) it back into the same scene memory.

Default Scene is automatically registered at the beginning of the song when you create a new song (p.36), and always saves the state of the mixer settings at the end of the song. If automation is off and a scene is not selected, or if automa- tion is on but a scene has not been stored at the beginning of the song, the mixer settings of the default scene will be used, and will appear in the selected scene cell as the current scene.

Since the D32XD uses moving faders, the faders will auto- matically move to the appropriate positions when you recall a scene. You can view the other parameters in the SCENE, Mix View tab page to see how they have changed.

The faders of the D16XD do not move.

You can store the desired scenes at various locations in the song so that if Automation is turned on, these scenes will be selected automatically when playback reaches the corre- sponding locations. (p.54 5. Automation)

You can store up to one hundred scenes for each song.

A scene can contain the following settings.

Channel parameters CH ON, Play EQ, ATT, send, insert effect assignment, fader, pan

Effects Program numbers of the insert effects, master effects, and nal effect

Effect return, MASTER fader, AUX level, master EQ

MASTER fader settings included in a scene will be valid when playing back the tracks or when recording the master track, but will be ignored when playing back the master track.

Caution when storing effects in a scene Scenes contain the effect program numbers. If you store a scene when you have edited the effect parame- ters but not stored the effect program, the scene will contain the unedited effect program. If you edit an effect program, be sure to save the effect pro- gram before you store the scene.

4-1. Storing a scene (1) Adjust the mixer settings.

Adjust the channel faders, PAN knobs, EQ, and effects to the settings that you want to store.

(2) Press the STORE key. The Stored Time dialog box will appear. If you decide not to store the scene, press the Exit button.

The scene contains the mixer settings and the location at the point you press the STORE key.

(3) Press the SCENE key to store the scene. The settings will be stored, and the dialog box will close.

The scenes you store are numbered in ascending order. You can perform steps (2) to store a scene even while the song is being played or recorded.

4-2. Recalling a scene Heres how to recall mixer settings that you registered as a scene.

(1) Access the SCENE, Automation [*EditScene] tab page, and turn Automation OFF.

If Automation is ON, you will only be able to recall the scene that is registered at the current location.

5. Automation Automation is a function that automatically modifies mixer settings as the song location changes during playback. The D32XD provides two types of automation; scene auto- mation and event automation. The D16XD provides scene automation.

If automation is turned on, the D32XDs moving faders will automatically move up and down when you replay the moves saved using event automation, or when you switch to a scene whose fader values differ. Use the SCENE, MixView tab page to see changes that occur in other pa- rameters, or to see fader movements on the D16XD.

5-1. Scene automation This type of automation automatically switches mixer set- tings when the song location during playback or recording arrives at the registered location for that scene.

When you register a scene, the location is also registered along with the other settings. When the current location of the song matches the registered location of the scene, the Scene Automation function will automatically select this scene, causing the mixer settings to change to the settings of the scene.

You can also re-register a scene at a different location, or edit the mixer settings of the scene and overwrite it onto the same scene memory.

Using scene automation Scenes can be set to change automatically, when playback reaches the location where the scene was stored.

Store the scene at the location where you want the mixer settings to change (p.52 4-1. Storing a scene).

(1) Access the SCENE, Automation [*EditScene] tab page, and turn Automation ON. The automation indicator will light.

(2) Play back the song. Move to the location where you want the playback to start, and press the PLAY key. When playback reaches the location at which the scene was stored, that scene will be recalled.

Storing a scene at a different location You can recall a stored scene and store it again at a different location.

(1) Recall the scene that contains the mixer settings you want to store again at a different location. For the procedure, refer to 4-2. Recalling a scene.

(2) Move to the location at which you want to store the scene (p.38).

(3) Store the scene. For details, refer to 4-1. Storing a scene.

Editing the location of a stored scene You can edit the location of a stored scene to change when it will become active during playback.

(1) Access the SCENE, EditScene tab page, and select (highlight) the desired scene.

(2) Press the EditLoc button to display the Edit Scene Location dialog box.

(3) Edit the location, and press the Yes button to nalize the change. If you press the No button, you will return to the EditScene tab page without making any change.

You can also change the location in the EventList tab page.

5-2. Event automation (D32XD) This type of automation records mixer operation events such as fader movements or pan motion during playback, and re- produces these operations at the corresponding time during playback or recording. You can also selectively re-record the recorded events, or copy them to another location or a different channel. You can keep recording events until the Events Remaining indication reaches 0%. The following operations can be recorded as events.

Fader operations of each channel MASTER fader operations CH ON key operations of each channel Pan operations of each channel AUX send operations of each channel Effect send operations of each channel Expression pedal operations

Since the channel faders and the master fader are moving faders, they will move automatically according to the record- ed events. You can use the Undo function to restore recorded or edited automation events to their state prior to recording or editing.

If a scene is stored within the region where you want to record events, we recommend that you use the SCENE, SceneFilter tab page (p.106) to disable the settings of that scene for the param- eter(s) you intend to record, so that those parameters will be affect- ed only by the event automation.

Recording mixer operations There are two ways to record event automation. You can overwrite all events from the point where you start song playback/recording until the point where you stop (Over Write). Alternatively, you can record only the opera- tions that occur between two specified locations, or only for the region in which you actually operated the faders (Punch Write). (p.104) As an example, heres how to use Over Write to record events while the song plays back.

(1) Select the song that you want to use to record mixer operations.

(2) Move to the location at which you want to start record- ing automation, and store the mixer settings as a scene. Automation recording will start from the location of the scene you store here, and this scene will be the mixer set- tings at the beginning of the recording. If you want to use an existing scene, recall that scene,

move to the location at which you want to begin recording automation, and store the scene again.

(3) Access the Scene, Automation tab page, and select the channels for which you want to record mixer opera- tions. If you want to record events for a channel, press its but- ton to make it indicate .

(4) Use the Pan, CH ON, Send, Fader, and Expression radio buttons to select the type of event you want to record. You can record only one type of event at a time.

The D32XD/D16XD provides up to twenty-four [*eight] in- sert effects that you can insert into mixer channels, up to two master effects that can process the sends from each channel, and one final effect to process the master bus.

The D32XD provides two effect routes; Routing A and Routing B. Routing A consists of insert effects 18, master effects 1 and 2, and a final effect. Routing B consists of insert effects 924.

The D16XD provides one route, consisting of insert effects 1 8, master effects 1 and 2, and a final effect.

The number of simultaneously available effects will be different for a 96 kHz/24-bit song (How DSP power is allocated to the ef- fects).

The effect programs are common to all of the above types of effect. There are 128 preset effect programs. Each effect program is constructed from one of 52 different effect algorithms. There are 128 user effect programs in which you can store your own edited settings, and 32 song effect programs for each song, in which you can store effect settings for that spe- cific song.

Each song can store its own 32 song effect programs.

You cannot rewrite the preset effect programs. However, a preset effect can be recalled, edited and stored to a user program.

Effect type and size There are two types of effect program: stereo and mono. You can use either type of program as an insert effect, but mono programs cannot be used as master effects or as the fi- nal effect.

Insert effect 8 cannot use a stereo effect program.

Effect programs come in various different sizes. The size of an effect program will determine how much DSP power it uses. The total DSP power available for all of the effects is di- vided up into 32 [*16] blocks. The number of blocks of DSP power used by an effect program is referred to as the Effect Size - size-1, size-2, etc. As an example, the type of effect pro- grams that can be used to provide 24 [*eight] simultaneous insert effects are called size-1 programs. Relative to this, other more complex effect programs are categorized as size- 2 or size-4 programs. The size of each effect program is shown by an icon dis- played at the right of the effect name.

How DSP power is allocated to the effects On the D32XD/D16XD, the term DSP power refers to the total processing capability that can be used to process effect programs.

D32XD You can use a total of up to 27 effects (the total of insert, mas- ter, and final effects). However, you are limited to simultane- ously using no more than 16 effects within Routing A and no more than 16 effects within Routing B (if the songs sampling frequency is 44.1 or 48 kHz). This means that the available number of effects will depend on the combination of effect sizes. There is enough DSP power to process 16 sizes-worth of ef- fect programs each for Routing A and Routing B. However for a 96 kHz/24-bit song, the DSP power will process only 8 sizes-worth of effect programs for each routing. A total of eleven effects can be used within Routing A, and a total of sixteen within Routing B. A specific amount of DSP power is allocated to the insert, master, and final effects, and the breakdown for each type of effect is shown in the following table.

Number of effects and DSP power for each variety of effect

* For a 96 kHz/24-bit song, the maximum total size is 8 + 8.

If you use a size-8 effect for insert effect 1, insert effects 28 will be unavailable. Use Routing B insert effects 924.

If you use a size-8 effect for insert effect 8, the master and final ef- fects will not be available. So that the master effects and final ef- fects will be available, select the size-8 effect for Routing B insert effect 9, and select a size-1 effect for insert effect 8.

When you make effect assignments, pay attention to the DSP power indicator in the Routing A or Routing B tab pag- es.

For details, refer to Effects that can be used simultaneously (p.117, 118) in the reference section.

D16XD There is enough DSP power to process 16 sizes-worth of ef- fect programs (for a 44.1/48 kHz song). However for a 96 kHz/24-bit song, the DSP power will process only 8 sizes- worth of effect programs. A total of eleven effects can be used by insert, master, and fi- nal effects, but since the sum of the all the effect sizes is lim- ited to no more than 16 (for a 44.1/48 kHz song), the number of effects that can be used simultaneously will change, de- pending on the combination of effect sizes. A specific amount of DSP power is allocated to the insert, master, and final effects, and the breakdown for each variety of effect is shown in the following table.

Number of effects and DSP power for each variety of effect

* For a 96 kHz/24-bit song, the maximum total size is 8.

If you use a size-8 effect for insert effect 1, insert effects 28 will be unavailable. If you use a size-4 effect for master effect 1, master effect 2 will be unavailable.

When assigning effects, pay attention to the DSP power indi- cator in the EFFRouting tab page to see how much DSP power is available.

For details, refer to Effects that can be used simultaneously (p.121) in the reference section.

1. Using insert effects You use insert effects by inserting them into a mixer channel to process the sound of an input source or audio track.

D32XD You can use a maximum of 24 insert effects simultaneously. In Routing A, you can use a total of 8 sizes-worth of insert ef- fect if you are using the master and final effects. Since Routing B is only for insert effects, you can use up to a total of 16 sizes-worth of effects.

If you use a size-4 effect for insert effect 1, and a size-4 effect for insert effect 5, you will be able to use the master and final effects, as well as sixteen insert effects (924) in Routing B.

If you use size-2 effects for insert effects 1, 3, and 5, and a size-8 effect for insert effect 7, you will be able to use sixteen insert effects (924) in Routing B but will not be able to use the Routing A mas- ter effects and final effect. In such cases, you should assign the size-8 effect to Routing B insert effect 9, and not assign an effect to insert effect 7; this way, the master effects and final effect will also be available.

For a 96 kHz/24-bit song, the DSP power is limited to 8 sizes- worth for Routing A and 8 sizes-worth for Routing B; this limits the number of effects you can use. (p.56 How DSP power is allocated to the effects)

D16XD A maximum of eight insert effects can be used simultaneous- ly, and these effect programs may have a total size of no more than 8. In other words, you must assign effect programs so that their total size stays within this limit.

If you use a size-2 effect for insert effect 1, only six more insert ef- fects (38) will be available.

If you use a size-1 effect for insert effect 1, and a size-4 effect for insert effect 2, only three more insert effects (68) will be available.

In the case of a 96 kHz/24-bit song, the DSP power will proc- ess only 8 sizes-worth of effect programs, so the number of programs useable for each effect will be limited. (p.56 How DSP power is allocated to the effects)

1-1. Applying insert effects during recording

You can apply an insert effect to an audio input source con- nected to the input jack, to the audio being input from the in- ternal CD-R/RW drive, or from the built-in rhythm sounds, and record the sound processed by the effect.

For details on how to apply an insert effect on a channel in- put, refer to Quick Start. (p.24)

1-2. Applying insert effects during playback

You can apply an insert effect to the playback of a previous- ly-recorded track.

For details on how to apply an insert effect to the track play- back, refer to Quick Start. (p.29)

2. Using master effects To use a master effect, adjust the send level of each channel to send some of its signal to the effect. The master effects are typically used to apply reverb or to make the overall mix richer and better balanced. The D32XD/D16XD provides two master effects (MstEFF1 and MstEFF2), and these can be used simultaneously. How- ever if you use a size-4 effect, the available processing power of both master effects will be used, so only the master effect 1 settings will be applied.

To adjust the depth of the effect, adjust the send level from each channel. AUX send is used when applying external effects.

You can select an effect program for the master effect in the EFFECT, MstrEFF1/MstrEFF2 or the EFFECT, Routing A [*EFFRouting] tab page.

For details on how to use the master effects, refer to Quick Start. (p.30)

3. Using the nal effect The D32XD/D16XD provides one stereo-in/stereo-out final effect, which is applied to the master bus.

The final effect is used mainly with a dynamics-type effect program (such as compression) to adjust the overall level for mastering.

You can select an effect program for the final effect in the EF- FECT, FinalEFF or the EFFECT, Routing A [*EFFRout- ing] tab page.

For details on how to use the final effects, refer to Quick Start. (p.32)

4. Editing the effects You can edit the effect programs used by the insert effects, master effects, and final effect.

Editing the effect parameters

For an insert effect (1) Access the EFFECT, InsertEFF tab page.

(2) Select the insert effect (InsEFF124 [*8]) that you want to edit. Press the insert effect cell (highlighted), and use the value dial (or the +/ keys) to select an insert effect 124 [*8].

(3) The effect program assigned to the selected insert effect will appear. Below it, icons will show the algo- rithm used by that program. To select a different program, press the popup button and make your selection.

(4) If the algorithm contains more than one effect icon, press the cell below the icon you want to edit (it will become highlighted), and a list of the parameters for that effect will be displayed. If the program consists of only one effect, the displayed parameters are all that exist.

(5) Listen to the effect settings. When you turn the ON/OFF button OFF, the effect will be bypassed, and the effect icon(s) will be grayed-out. When you turn the button ON, the effect will be applied. This way, you can listen to the difference that the effect makes and listen to the original sound as a reference.

(6) Use the control knobs located below the LCD screen to edit the parameter values. To edit the value of a parameter, turn the control knob

of the location corresponding to that knob icon. To edit the second or lower row of parameter values,

press a knob icon in that row to select it. Now the four control knobs will correspond to that row.

(7) If the program consists of two or more effects, select the icon of the effect that you want to edit, and edit its parameters in the same way.

(8) Assign a name to the effect program that you edited. Press the Rename button to access the Rename dialog

box. (p.36 1-2. Renaming a song) After you have assigned the desired name, press the

OK button.

For a master effect or nal effect (1) Access the EFFECT, MstrEFF1 (or MstrEFF2)/

FinalEFF tab page.

(2) Perform steps (3) and following of For an insert effect, above.

Storing an effect program If the song is playing, press the STOP key. Press the Store button in the effect tab page to display the

Store Program dialog box. Press the Area list button and select either User or Song

from the list.

Press the number cell to specify the store-destination (it will be highlighted), use the value dial (or the +/ keys) to select the number, and then press the Yes button to store the effect program.

When you store the effect program, it will overwrite and replace any data that had been stored in that number.

5. Controlling effects from an external device

You can use an expression pedal or external MIDI controller to control the D32XD/D16XDs effects in realtime. For details on the effect parameters that you can control, refer to Effect parameter (p.152).

For a 96 kHz/24-bit song, you cannot control effects from an ex- ternal device.

You cannot control insert effects 924 of the D32XD from an ex- ternal device.

Using a pedal or MIDI to control an effect.

(1) Connect an expression pedal such as the EXP-2 foot controller (sold separately) or an external MIDI con- troller (p.12).

(2) Access the SYSTEM, Control tab page. In this example we will use a pedal to control the effect. In the Control Change area, set the Device cell to Pedal.

If you want to use MIDI to control the effect (rather than us- ing the pedal as in this example), you must specify the type of MIDI message that you want to use. Access the SYSTEM, Control tab page, and set Control MIDI CH to the MIDI channel on which that your external MIDI device is transmitting.

(3) Select the effect that you want to control. In the Assign eld, select the effect (Insert EFF1...8/Mas- ter EFF 1, 2/Final EFF) that you want to control.

(4) Select the effect program that you want to control. Press the EFFECT key for the effect you chose in step (3), and select an effect program in the appropriate tab page.

(5) Specify the parameter and range that you want to con- trol. A control icon will be added at the end of the effect

chain of the selected program. Press (highlight) this control icon to display the control-related parameters.

Turn Control on. Use the effect knobs to specify the range.

If you want to save these settings, store the program as de- scribed on Save Now (p.137).

(6) Operate your expression pedal or external MIDI con- troller to control the effect parameter you specied.

6. Using external effects You can output an effect send signal from the AUX OUT jacks and use an external effect processor to apply effects. Then connect the output of your external effect processor to the INPUT 18 jacks and return the effect signal to the master bus.

Sending the playback signal to an external effect proces- sor, and using INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 jacks to return it to the master bus

(1) Connect your external effect processor. Connect one of the D32XD/D16XDs AUX OUT jacks to the INPUT jack of your external effect processor, and connect the OUTPUT jacks of the effect processor to the D32XD/D16XDs INPUT 3 jack and INPUT 4 jack.

(2) Send the playback signal to the external effect. Access the MIXER, SEND (EFF/AUX [*/REC]), Aux-

Send tab page. Select the knob icon of the channel that you want to

send to the external effect, and use the buttons to adjust it.

Press the button located above the knob icon to select either pre-fader (PRE) or post-fader (PST) as the loca- tion from which the signal will be sent to AUX.

(3) Input the audio signal from the external effect proces- sor. Access the MIXER, INPUT/OUTPUT/CH ASSIGN,

SubMix 1-8 tab page. Adjust the Level of each channel to set the return

level, and adjust the Pan to set the return pan (p.101).

Tempo track You can record MIDI Clock data or Tap Tempo data on the tempo track, and use the tempo track to control the tempo of the song.

Recording MIDI Clock data from an external MIDI sequencer, and using it as the tempo track MIDI Clock data from an external MIDI sequencer can be re- corded as tempo data on the tempo track. You can use this when you want to synchronize a D32XD/ D16XD song with song data created on a MIDI sequencer in which the tempo changes continuously.

If MIDI Clock data was not received correctly from your MIDI se- quencer, recording may stop in the middle of the song.

(1) Specify the time signature of the song. If the time signature of the song data created on your MIDI sequencer changes during the song, create a new tempo map that begins where the time signature changes. (p.62)

Tempo settings will play back in synchronization, but meas- ures will become incorrectly aligned if the time signature changes do not match.

(2) Connect the MIDI OUT connector of your MIDI sequencer to the D32XD/D16XDs MIDI IN connector.

(3) Set your MIDI sequencer so that it will transmit MIDI Clock messages. Refer to the owners manual of your MIDI sequencer.

(4) Specify how you want to record the tempo. Access the TEMPO, TempoTrk tab page, and choose MIDI Clock.

(5) Record MIDI Clock data. Press the RecStart button to put the D32XD/D16XD in

the record-ready state. Start your MIDI sequencer. When the D32XD/D16XD starts receiving MIDI Clock

data from your MIDI sequencer, it will indicate Receiving MIDI Clock.

(6) When your MIDI sequencer nishes playing, stop the MIDI sequencer. When the D32XD/D16XD nishes recording, it will indicate Complete. Press the OK button.

(7) Check the tempo source. When you record the tempo track, the TEMPO, SetUp tab page Tempo Source will automatically be set to TempoTrk.

Tap tempo You can record the tempo track by pressing (tapping) the PLAY key at the beginning of each measure or on each beat while the song plays.

You can use a PS-1 foot switch (sold separately) instead of the PLAY key (p.126).

Tap tempo lets you record the tempo track after a song has already been recorded. If you record the tempo for a song for which you did not originally specify the tempo, you will be able to do the following things.

Edit tracks in units of measures Connect and synchronize external MIDI devices

(1) Specify the time signature of the song. If the time signature changes during the song, create a tempo map at the location where the time signature changes.

Tempo settings will play back in synchronization, but meas- ures will become incorrectly aligned if the time signature changes do not match.

(2) If you want to use a foot switch to input the tap tempo, connect an optional PS-1 foot switch to the FOOT SWITCH jack of the D32XD/D16XD.

(3) Specify how you want to record the tempo. Access the TEMPO, TempoTrk tab page, and choose MeasTap (tap at the beginning of each measure) or BeatTap (tap on each beat).

(4) Record the tap tempo track. Press the RecStart button to put the D32XD/D16XD in

record-ready mode. Tap tempo will be recorded from the beginning of the song.

When you press the PLAY key or a connected foot switch, the song will begin playing, and tap tempo recording will also begin.

While you listen to the playback, record the tap tempo by pressing the PLAY key or foot switch at the inter- vals you specied in step (4). The counter will be dis- played while you record the tap tempo.

When using the PLAY key to record tap tempo, do not strike the key any more forcefully than necessary. Doing so may damage the hard disk etc.

(5) After you have input the last tap, press the STOP key. For example if you are inputting four measures of a 4/4 time signature, tap four times in the case of MeasTap or sixteen times in the case of BeatTap to input up to the beginning of the fth measure. Then press the STOP key. If you input taps only until mid-way through the song, the tempo of the last-input measure or beat will be auto- matically copied to the end of the song.

(6) Check the tempo source. When you record the tempo track, the TEMPO, SetUp tab page Tempo Source will automatically be set to TempoTrk. Move to the beginning of the song, press the PLAY key to play back, and check the tempo.

The D32XD/D16XD has 32 [*16] channel tracks for each song. For each channel track, there are eight virtual tracks; A through H.

The D32XD/D16XD provides a separate master track for each song, and this master also has eight virtual tracks; A through H.

This is a two-channel track that is used for recording the final stereo mix of your song. If you want to create an audio CD, the data on the master track will be used. The following table shows the number of available tracks and the number of tracks that can be used simultaneously.

Number of simultaneously usable tracks for each Song Type

1. Recording The D32XD/D16XDs recorder can record analog or digital audio input sources assigned to mixer channels. Several types of recording are provided, as described below. You can also mix your song down to a two-track stereo mix, and record it on the master track.

1-1. Basic recording Heres how to record the audio signal that you specified in 1. Inputting audio to the mixer (p.42).

If you want to create a new song for recording, set refer to 1-1. Creating a new song (p.36).

(1) Create a new song (p.36 1-1. Creating a new song).

(2) Adjust the mixer settings (p.42 1. Inputting audio to the mixer).

(3) Apply effects to the audio input (p.56 Effects).

(4) Apply EQ to the audio input (p.48 Applying EQ to an audio input).

(5) Adjust the pan (p.48 3-2. Adjusting the pan).

(6) Check the recording mode. Access the REC/PLAY MODE, Rec/Play tab page, and set Rec Mode to Normal.

(7) Set the recording level. You can set the recording level in one of two ways. You can record at the optimum level simply by record-

ing at the level you specied in steps (1) through (4). Press the REC button to set it to PRE in the CH VIEW, Ch View tab page.

If you want to further adjust the channel fader and record at the adjusted level, set the REC button to PST in the CH VIEW, Ch View tab page.

With the PRE setting, the channel fader will send the input signal to the master bus, setting the monitor level. With the PST setting, the send level to the master bus will be the same as the recording level.

You can also make this setting in the MIXER, EQ/PHASE/ REC [*SEND (EFF/AUX/REC)], Rec Send tab page.

(8) Move to the location where you want to start record- ing. (p.38)

Return to the location at which you started recording, set the REC/ PLAY key of the tracks you recorded to PLAY (key lit green). Play back, and verify that your performance was recorded correctly.

The ATT setting in the EQ/ATT (or Ch View) tab page is common to recording and playback. If you have turned down ATT substantially for recording, you may need to ad- just it for playback.

1-2. Switching virtual tracks Each song contains up to 32 [*16] tracks and one master track. In addition, each track has eight virtual tracks, labelled A H. When you record or play back, you can specify which of these virtual tracks AH will be used. This means that you can switch between virtual tracks to record multiple takes of a performance, and then choose the best take.

(1) Select the desired virtual track. In the TRACK, Vtrk132 [*Vtrk116] tab page, use the buttons to select the track that you want to record, and then use the V-Level buttons (or the value dial or +/ keys) to select the virtual track.

In the case of a 96 kHz/24-bit song, the Vtrk132 [*Vtrk1 16] tab will be named Vtrk18.

For a 44.1 kHz/24-bit or a 48 kHz/24-bit song on the D32XD, the Vtrk 132 tab page will be named Vtrk 116.

If a virtual track already contains recorded data, this is graph- ically indicated by as shown in the illustration.

(2) Record. For details, refer to 1-1. Basic recording, steps (2)(11).

1-3. Recording additional tracks while you play back (Overdub- bing)

Heres how to record additional performances while you lis- ten to the playback of previously-recorded tracks.

(1) Prepare for recording. Refer to 1-1. Basic recording (p.64), steps (1)(7).

2-3. Playing back an album CD project

An album CD project lets you arrange songs in a desired or- der for playback. You can then record the output onto a DAT, MD, or cassette tape recorder.

Using the Album CD Project function to play back songs in a specified order and record them on an external recorder

(1) Use the Album CD Project function to specify the songs that you want to play back. For details, refer to Album CD Project steps (1)(4) (p.79).

When using Album CD Project, playback will stop if you move to a different screen.

(2) Connect your external recorder. Connect your external recorder to the D32XD/D16XDs MASTER OUT LR jacks or S/P DIF OUT jack.

(3) Record the output on your external recording device. Press the play button to play back the album CD

project, and adjust the recording level on your exter- nal recording device.

Return to the beginning of the album CD project, start recording on your external recording device, and then press the D32XD/D16XDs play button.

3. Track editing You can use track editing commands to copy a track, insert blank space, erase a track, delete a track, reverse a track, op- timize a track, exchange tracks, expand/compress a track, copy an entire track, exchange two entire tracks, create a fade-in/fade-out, or normalize the level.

In some cases, track editing may not be possible if there is insuffi- cient space on the song drive. You will need to allocate enough free space for the track editing operation.

Registering the edit region Specify the edit region by storing the appropriate points in the LOC1/IN through LOC4/END keys.

LOC1/IN key: IN point

LOC2/OUT key: OUT point

LOC3/TO key: TO point

LOC4/END key: END point

Use the counter or the FF, REW keys to move to the location you want to edit. Press the STORE key, and then press either LOC1/IN, LOC2/ OUT, LOC3/TO, or LOC4/END to store the location in that key. The location is stored the moment you press the key. For details, refer to Assigning locations to the Locate keys (p.38).

If you want to specify a location more precisely while viewing the waveform, press the Wave button in one of the editing screens, and use the Wave dialog box (p.139).

3-1. Track editing procedures

Copy a track (CopyTrk) This command copies the specified region (INOUT) of track data to another location (TO).

The INOUT region can be copied once, or multiple times in succession.

You can copy data from one track, or from multiple tracks simultaneously.

By using the clipboard, you can copy track data to a differ- ent song.

Here are some ways in which you can use this command. Repeatedly copy a phrase of several measures (such as a

drum pattern) to create a track that extends the entire length of song.

Copy the rst verse of a song to create the second verse. Record a favorite phrase from a track, and copy it to a dif-

ferent track.

Copying tracks within the same song

Copying the INOUT region of track 1 three times to the TO location of track 2

Select the virtual tracks of the copy-source (Source) and copy-destina- tion (Destination) before you make settings for this Copy operation.

(1) Specify the region that you want to copy. Set the following locations to specify the region for copying. Set the IN point to specify the beginning of the region

to be copied Set the OUT point to specify the end of the region to

be copied Set the TO point to specify the beginning of the copy-

destination

(2) Select CopyTrk. In the TRACK, EditTrk tab page, press the Edit Trk Type cell. In the Edit Trk Type dialog box, choose Copy Trk and press the OK button.

Using the clipboard to copy data to another song When you use the clipboard to copy data between tracks of songs that have a different sampling frequency and/or bit depth, the sampling frequency and/or bit depth will be con- verted automatically. You can specify whether dithering will be performed to make quantization noise less obtrusive when converting 24-bit data to 16-bit data.

If the sampling frequency of the song copied to the clipboard is dif- ferent from that of the copy-destination song, a certain amount of time will be required for the conversion to be performed.

Copying the INOUT region of track 1 once from the 48 kHz/24-bit song number 001 to the TO location of track 2 of the 44.1 kHz/16-bit song number 002
