Do not ap ply p hysical shock to this device. In p artic-ular, you m ust never m ove this device or app lyphysical shock wh ile the p ower is turn ed on . Thiscan cause par t or all of the d ata on d isk to be lost, ormay d amage the hard disk or interior comp onents.

When this device is moved to a location w here thetemperature is radically different, water dropletsmay cond ense on the d isk drive. If the device is usedin this condition, it may m alfunction, so please allowseveral hour s to pass before operating th e device.

Do not repeatedly turn the pow er on/ off. This mayda mag e not on ly the D16, but also any SCSI devicesthat are connected.

This device begins to access the hard disk imm edi-ately after the pow er is turned on.

Never tu rn off the power w hile the HDD access indi-cator is lit or blinking. Doing so can cause all or pa rtof the data on disk to be lost, or ma y cause ma lfun c-tions such as hard d isk damage.

If the hard disk has been damaged due to incorrectoperation, pow er failure, or accidental in terruptionof the pow er supply, a fee may be charged fo rreplacement even if this device is still w ithin itsw arrantee period.

Introduction

The D16 is a 16 track digital multi-track recorder(MTR) with full-digital p rocessing (

24 bit

internalprocessing,

16/24 bit

uncompressed

recording andplayback,

44.1 kHz

sampling frequency).

It contains a

16 track

recorder, a

24-channel 8-bus

mixer, and effects.

When using

16 bit

recording/ playback:

8

tracks can

be recorded simultaneously, and

16

tracks can beplayed back simultaneously.

When using

24 bit

recording/ playback:

4

tracks canbe recorded simultaneously, and

8

tracks can beplayed back simultaneously.

From recording to effect processing to mixing d ownto CD-R/ RW (a CD-R/ RW drive is req uired ), DATrecorder or MIXDOWN ,

all processing is pe r-formed completely in the digital domain

.

A

2.1 GB

hard disk is built-in, allowing a total of upto

6.5 hours

of recording (when recording one track

at 16 bits). A maximu m of

100

songs

16

tracks 8 virtua l tracks can be recorded , for a total maximu mof 12,800 tra cks of da ta.

All analog inpu ts in the mixer section use high-per-formance balanced p reamps to take full advantageof the aud io quality of full-digital processing.

Dedicated XLR inp ut an d guitar input jacks are p ro-vided, and supp ort a range from m ic level to +16dBu (beyond p ro aud io level) so that virtually anyaud io source can be connected.

All phone jack inpu ts use TRS balanced jacks tosupport balanced input. Of course, unbalanced input is also supp orted.

The D16 has a built-in mic that lets you imm edi-

ately record phrases that come to m ind.The S/P DIF digital input provides a sampling rateconverter tha t autom atically converts 48 kHz o r 32kHz sources to 44.1 kHz .

Each analog input/ mixer channel provides highEQ , mid EQ , and low EQ . The mid EQ has anadjustable cutoff frequency .

Since separate EQ is provided for the inpu ts and themixer, you w ill never have the p roblem of u ninten-tional dou ble EQ tha t can occur on MTR systemswith an analog mixer, when the EQ settings u seddu ring recording are re-applied d uring p layback.

A maximum of eight insert effects can be used on theanalog inputs/ m ixer channels. Two master effects accept sends from each channel. And lastly, a ded icatednal effect can be app lied to the master outpu ts. Inserteffects and master effects can be selected from 128/32/32

(total of 192 ) different preset programs, each of whichcombine up to v e of 98 varieties of h igh-quality effectwith settings created by professional musicians and stu-dio eng ineers. You can freely edit the p reset program s

and store them in one of 192 user areas. An exp ressionpedal (separately sold option) can be connected to con-trol an insert effect in realtime.

The effects built into the D16 mak e it easy for you touse detailed and pow erful modeling sounds pro-duced by Korgs modeling technology.

A tuner is built in, so that you can tu ne an instru-ment etc. whose sound is picked up by the internalmic, or check the tu ning of a playback track.

Fader, EQ, pan , and effect settings etc. of the mixersection can be stored as scenes , and up to 100 scenescan be recorded in each song. Scenes can beswitched as time elapses du ring playback, or youcan recall them wh en d esired as general-purposesettings.

Operations such as record, copy, and delete are per-formed using non-destructive editing . You can u seth e Undo function to retur n to the state beforerecording or editing, and then use the Redo functionto cancel the Und o operation. Undo allows you toreturn through the previous 99 recording or editingoperations.

Th e Auto Save function ensures that songs orphrases that you created by recording or ed iting areautomatically saved to d isk when you switch songsor tur n off the p ower, freeing you from h aving tomanu ally save your data.

Each track provides eight virtual tracks .

When record ing solo parts etc., you can sw itchbetween virtual tracks to record multiple takes, andselect the best one later. Or w hen bo un cing (ping-pong recording), you can specify an unselected vir-tua l track as the recording destination , so that six-teen tracks of recorded data can be m ixed d own totwo tra cks withou t erasing any of the sixteen tracks.By repeated ly bouncing sixteen tracks to two tracks,you can th eoretically create a song w ith 16 8 = 128tracks without erasing any of the original track data.

In addition to the metronome sound, the D16 pro-vides 215 different rhythm patterns in a wide rangeof musical styles, which can prov ide a recordingguid e with a m ore realistic sense of tempo. Evenwith out conn ecting a rhythm m achine, its easy tobegin recording along w ith a favorite rhyth m. Theserhythm patterns can also be recorded on a track.

1. ConnectionsThe diagram below shows a basic example of connec-tions when u sing the D16 to record. Make the app ropri-ate connections for you r system, substituting your ownequipment as necessary for the equipm ent shown here.

Be sure than the pow er is turned off while you aremak ing connections. If the pow er is on while con-nections are being mad e, your speaker system maybe dam aged, or other malfunctions may occur.

1 Connect the included AC/AC power supply.Connect the AC/ AC pow er supp ly to the AC/ ACpow er supp ly connector of the D16. Then p lug theother end into an AC ou tlet.

2 Connect your audio monitoring system.Use RCA phono cables to connect a pow ered mon -itor system (separ ately sold op tion: PM-15B am pli-ed speakers) etc. to the [MON ITOR OUT L/ R]jacks.

If you w ill be monitoring through headp hones,connect the 1/ 4" phon e plug of your head phon esto th e [PHO NES] jack.
