Korg D1200 Musical Instrument User Manual

For example if you select “TONE,” three parameters
will appear; “BASS,” “MIDDLE,” and “TREBLE.”
You can adjust these parameters by turning the three
knobs located below the display. If you want to make
more precise adjustments, turn the [VALUE] dial to
adjust the value.
To return to the previous screen, move the cursor to the
“Exit” button in the upper right of the display and press
the [ENTER] key, or press the [CANCEL] key.
If the guitar input level is not appropriate, you may not
obtain the distortion or noise reduction effect you ex-
pect. Watch the input peak LED while you use the input
trim to adjust the level so that it is neither too low or too
high (clipping).
2. Applying a modeling effect to
your bass
The D1200 provides various modeling effects for use with a
bass, including dynamics-type effects as well as modulation
and ambience-type effects such as chorus and delay.
These effects can also be applied to clean (undistorted)
guitar sounds.
1 Press the [MODELING] key, move the cursor to [Bass]
in the middle of the screen, and press the [ENTER] key
or the [YES/OK] key to enter the bass modeling effect
screen.
2 Use the knobs located below the display to select the
desired type for the dynamics, vacuum tube, and ambi-
ent effects.
3 Edit the effect parameters.
Move the cursor to “DYNAMICS,” “TONE,” or “AMBI-
ENT” in the lower part of the display, and press the
[ENTER] key to access the effect parameter screen for
the corresponding effect.
For example when you access the DYNAMICS screen,
the three parameters “ATTACK,” “RELEASE”, and
“LEVEL” will appear. You can adjust the values of these
three parameters by turning the three knobs located
below the display. If you want to make precise adjust-
ments to a parameter, you can also use the [VALUE] dial
to edit the value.
If the sound is distorted, you can either lower the input
trim or lower the “DYNAMICS” level.
If the input level for the dynamics-type effect is not ap-
propriate, you may not obtain the result you want. Use
the trim control to adjust the level appropriately for the
input.
3. Applying a modeling effect to a
mic
The D1200 provides various modeling effects for use with a
mic, such as simulations of different types of studio, mic, and
dynamics-type effects. These effects are ideal for processing
signals from a dynamic mic or line input.
1 Press the [MODELING] key, move the cursor to [Mic] at
the right of the screen, and press the [ENTER] key or the
[YES/OK] key to enter the mic modeling effect screen.
2 Use the knobs located below the display to select the
desired type for studio, mic, and dynamics.
3 Edit the effect parameters.
Move the cursor to “STUDIO,” “MIC SIM,” or
“DYNAMICS” in the display, and press the [ENTER]
key to access a screen where you can edit the parameters
of the corresponding effect. For example if you enter the
DYNAMICS screen, three parameters will appear;
“ATTACK,” “RELEASE,” and “LEVEL.” You can adjust
these parameters by turning the three knobs located
below the display. If you want to make more precise
adjustments, turn the [VALUE] dial to adjust the value.
If the input level is too low or too high, dynamics-type
effects may not produce the result you expect. Accord-
ing to your input source, adjust the trim to obtain an ap-
propriate level.
If you are using line input, set the MIC SIM “IN MIC”
parameter to “Line.” If you are using a dynamic mic, set
the “IN MIC” parameter to the type of mic you are us-
ing.
4. Saving your modeling effect set-
tings
The modeling effects you edit in Modeling mode are pre-
served even when the power is turned off. When you turn on
the power again, the state of the three effects (for guitar, bass,
and mic) will be preserved.
A modeling effect that you edit in Modeling mode can also
be edited in greater detail as an insert effect. You will then be
able to save the edited insert effect as a user program, and re-
call it when desired.
You cannot use Modeling mode to edit an effect pro-
gram that has been saved as an insert effect.
