The Trigger Recording function allows recording to
start automatically in response to an audio input, so
that it’s easy to begin recording even when both
hands are occupied in playing an instrument. You
can also use a foot switch to start or stop recording.
The Scrub function lets you listen to the recorded
sound of a track just as if you were manually mov-
ing the reels of an open-reel tape recorder – a great
convenience when you need to find the exact begin-
ning of a phrase.
The Locate Point Memory function (four points for
each song) and Mark Memory function (100 points
for each song) allow you to register locations within
a song, making it easy to mark and jump instantly to
transitional points within the song. Names can also
be assigned to marks.
The Program Play function lets you play back multi-
ple songs in the order you specify. These songs can
then be recorded to MD or DAT to create your own
album.
An optional CD-RW drive can be installed. If the
CDRW-1 CD-R/RW drive option (sold separately) is
installed, you can create original CD’s without
requiring any other equipment. You can also backup
your song data, or record from an audio CD.
When recording and editing songs or phrases from a
record or CD, you can use tap input to input a
tempo that follows the song. Alternatively, you can
create tempo maps, or record MIDI clock messages
from an external device.
The D12 can synchronize with MIDI Clock, MTC, or
MMC-compatible sequencers or rhythm machines.
Standard connectors such as SCSI and S/P DIF (dig-
ital interface) are provided, allowing connection to
numerous external devices. The SCSI connector
allows external hard disks, CD-R/RW, or removable
disks to be used to record/play or backup data.
The S/P DIF connectors allow you to record digital
audio from an external digital device such as CD or
MD, and to directly output the mixdown of a song
you created for recording on an external DAT or
MD.
AUX OUT jacks allow external effect devices to be
connected.
The D12 is compact and lightweight, easily carried
into studios or wherever you need it.
WAV files can be imported/exported, making it easy
for audio data to be exchanged with your computer.
Mixer parameters can be controlled via MIDI. An
external MIDI sequencer can be used to implement
mixer automation.
Data backed up by the D8 and D16 digital recording
studio units can be restored into the D12, allowing
easy transfer of data. Playable D16 drives can also be
played back by the D12.
