Quick start If you just cant wait to get started, this section will explain how to connect your guitar, record your playing on one track, and then play it back.

1. Preparations

Insert the card Insert the card (CompactFlash) into the card slot. (p.16) The CompactFlash card that came with your D4 is already formatted and contains the demo songs. How- ever, if you are using a new CompactFlash card, you will need to format it before you begin recording. (p.55)

If you format the CompactFlash card that was included with the D4, you will lose all the demo data (demo song and effect data) that it contained.

Connect your guitar Connect a shielded cable (mono phone plug) to your guitar. Connect the other end of the cable to the D4s [INPUT1] jack. Set the D4s [INPUT1] switch to GTR.

Step 1. Basic operation This section explains basic operation of the D4.

1. Selecting modes The functions of the D4 are organized into eleven modes selected by the [MODE] knob; and four sub-modes (Effect, Effect Write, Tuner, and Punch-Rec) accessed by pressing to various keys. You can access one of the sub-modes from any mode sim- ply by pressing the corresponding key. If a sub-mode is selected, you can press the [EXIT] key to return to the mode currently selected by the [MODE] knob.

Using the [PAN] knobs to select/edit parameters The [PAN] knobs can be used to edit the value of certain parameters. Use the [SEL] key to switch the function of the [PAN] knobs. An icon in the display indicates the parameter that can currently be edited. AMP/FX: If you press the FX [GUITAR+MIC], [INSERT/ GTR+VO], [MASTER], or [FINAL] key, the [PAN] knobs will edit effect parameters 15. SEND: If you press the [SEL] key to select SEND (and the [MASTER] key is lit), the [PAN] knobs will control the master sends and return.

If you use the [PAN] knobs to edit parameters in this way, the physical position of the [PAN] knobs will no longer match the actual panning of each track.

Canceling an edit (Undo/Redo) After performing a track editing operation, you can use the Undo function to return to the condition prior to exe- cuting the edit. If the undo icon is shown, you can press the [UNDO] key to execute the Undo function. After undoing, the Redo icon will light, and you can use the same operation to Redo the edit, returning to the con- dition prior to executing Undo. The Undo/Redo function also provides a convenient way to compare the original version to the edited version, allowing you to be sure the edit delivered the result that you wanted.

In order to use this function, the System mode UndoSys page setting AutoUndo must be turned On. (p.57)

Undo is maintained until the next time you record or per- form a track editing operation.

3. Combining multiple tracks There are two methods for combing multiple tracks that have already been recorded onto a single track or a stereo pair of tracks: Mastering and Bounce recording. These operations will free up more tracks so you can continue adding (recording) new tracks. Mastering is generally used when you are ready to make a nal stereo mix. Bounce recording can mix previously recorded tracks together with an external input source as the D4 records.

Combining tracks 14 onto two tracks Mastering 1 Select Mastering as the REC MODE mode.

Set the [MODE] knob to REC MODE. Use the [VALUE] dial to select Mastering. Press the [EXIT] key to return to Play mode.

3 Adjust the pan of the playback tracks. Press the [PLAY] key to begin play back, and adjust the stereo position (pan) of the recorded tracks (14).

If you are using only one recording destination track, set the pan to the far right if you are bouncing to track 1 or 3, or to the far left if you are bouncing to track 2 or 4. In this case, the monitor sound will also be panned all the way to one side, which is inconvenient for listening while you record. To pre- vent this from happening, turn the AutoPan setting On. The panning of the bounce source tracks will automatically be set appropriately for the bounce destination, and the monitor sound will also be automatically panned to the cen- ter. If you are using two recording tracks, this setting will be

Step 7. Using effects The effects section of the D4 provides 93 types of effects. It contains 100 preset effect programs and 100 user effect programs that combine these effects in various ways. The preset memories contain effect programs created by pro- fessional musicians and studio engineers. The user memo- ries can hold effect programs that you yourself create by editing the presets. There are four types of effect programs:

guitar/mic effects: (mono insert effect) insert/guitar+vocal effects: (two channel insert effect) master effects: (stereo master effect) nal effects: (stereo nal effect)

Step 8. Rhythm & tempo settings This section explains how to use the rhythm and metro- nome patterns, how to select a time signature, and how to adjust the songs tempo setting.

If you change the tempo after recording, the measures and beats displayed in the location counter will no longer match the audio in the track. The tempo only controls the playback speed of the rhythm patterns, and does not affect the play- back speed of the recorded tracks.

1. Playing rhythm and metronome patterns The D4 contains 87 various rhythm patterns, ranging from simple metronome patterns to more complex drums phrases designed for a particular style of music (p.91). When you have an idea for a song and want to begin recording, you can play along with the internal rhythm patterns as a guide.

Effect parameters

Effect types Use the four effect type keys ([GUITAR/MIC], [INSERT/ GTR+VO)], [MASTER], and [FINAL]) to select an effect type. (This selection determines the location in the signal path where the effect will be inserted.) Each effect program is based on one of the eleven different chains ways in which effect modules are connected. Each effect module in a chain can be edited and switched on/off independently. After youve edited an effect pro- gram, you can save it as user data.

Effect types and chain structure The following diagrams show the structure of each chain, and which chains can be used for each effect type.

will play relative to the volume of the guitar.

Youll need to adjust these settings appropriately for your guitar and pickup. A guitar synth works correctly when you play single notes on your guitar. You wont get the correct effect if you play chords. Unexpected results may occur if your instrument is not tuned correctly. If this occurs, please tune your instrument.

........ [0...10] ) ) ) )

open backed cab using four 10" 8 Ohm speakers, wired in parallel for a total of 2 Ohms impedance. Although origi- nally intended for bass guitar, this speaker rocks for many different styles.

VOX AC15 This is a 1x12" open backed combo using the famed VOX Blue Alnico speaker, manufactured by Celestion in Ipswich, England. The one we used was a modern re-issue that was housed in the VOX AC15TB combo. This speaker, which is 8 Ohms impedance, 15 Watts power handling, is amazingly full-bodied for a 1x12 open back cab, and, of course, helps bring the famous VOX chime to the forefront.

VOX AC30 Obviously, double the power double the speakers. 2x12" VOX Blue Alnicos, wired in series for 16 Ohms, adds even more of that great VOX tone. This time we modelled some great sounding originals from way back in the 60s. As speakers get old their tone changes, so this conguration adds a different slant on how these speakers sound.

AD412 This cabinet is one of VOXs latest products, and due to the fact we are extremely proud of it, and that it is without a doubt an exceedingly great sounding cabinet, we just had to include it with our cabinet models. The cabinet itself fea- tures custom designed Celestion speakers using Neody- mium magnets, one of the rst, if not the rst, cabinet to use this technology. It also uses some special cabinet acoustic design technology that is also a rst for VOX and 4x12s in general. Use it as a valid tonal option with any model, but especially the amp head models. We think you will like it!
