Connections for recording analog sources
• Guitar, bass guitar ↔ [GUITAR IN] jack
• Mic (XLR) ↔ [INPUT 1], [INPUT 2] jacks
• Synthesizer etc. ↔ [INPUT 1]–[INPUT 8] jacks
A guitar or bass guitar that is being sent
through a compact effect device can be con-
nected to [INPUT 1]–[INPUT 8].
When inputting in stereo, you should select
two adjacent inputs (1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8) so that
track editing can be performed more effi-
ciently.
If you are recording from a connected mic, locate
the mic at a sufficient distance from the D16 so that
it does not pick up noise.
For more input examples, and details on sending
the input audio to mixer channels and auditioning
input signals, refer to p.16.
Connections for recording digital sources
• Optical digital (S/P DIF) output of a digital out-
put device such as CD or MD ↔ [S/P DIF] con-
nector of the D16 (use an optical digital cable for
connection)
For more input examples, and details on sending
the input audio to mixer channels and auditioning
input signals, refer to p.18.
4 Make other connections.
Connections for mixdown
Make connections to the recording device (DAT,
MD, cassette tape recorder etc.) to which the song
you created on the D16 will be mixed down.
• Optical digital (S/P DIF) input of a digital
recording device such as DAT or MD ↔ [S/P
DIF OUT] of the D16
• AUX IN inputs of an analog recording device
such as a cassette tape recorder ↔ [MASTER
OUT L/R] jacks of the D16
Connections when using external effects
If you wish to apply an external effect to the signal
from [AUX OUT] send output, use the [INPUT 1]–
[INPUT 8] jacks to receive the return signal(s).
In this case, you can choose whether the signal(s)
will be returned to the mixer channel(s) in the
same way as a conventional input, or sent directly
to the master bus. (→p.75)
Connections when using a foot switch to perform
manual punch recording, or playback/stop etc.
Connect the pedal switch (separately sold option:
PS-1) to the [FOOT SWITCH] jack.
Connections when using a foot pedal to control
effects
Connect the expression pedal (separately sold
option: EXP-2, XVP-10) to the [EXPRESSION
PEDAL] connector.
Do not connect a volume pedal, since it will
not function correctly.
Connections when controlling effects or switching
scenes from an external MIDI device
MIDI OUT connector of the external MIDI device
↔ [MIDI IN] connector of the D16. (→p.47)
Connections when synchronizing the D16 with a
MIDI sequencer etc.
MIDI IN connector of the sequencer etc. ↔ [MIDI
OUT] connector of the D16 (use a MIDI cable for
connections)
If you will be using MMC, connect the MIDI OUT
connector of the sequencer etc. ↔ [MIDI IN] con-
nector of the D16. (→p.47)
Connections when producing an audio CD on a CD-
R/RW drive
• SCSI connector of the CD-R/RW drive ↔ [SCSI]
connector of the D16 (use a SCSI cable to make
connections). (→p.48)
Connections when saving or backing up data on an
external hard disk or removable disk
SCSI connector of the external SCSI device ↔
[SCSI] connector of the D16 (use a SCSI cable to
make connections). (→p.48)
2. Turning the power on/off
Turning the power on
Use the following procedure to turn on the power of
the D16 and of the devices connected to it.
Before turning the power on, set the vol-
ume controls of all devices to the minimum
position, and turn on the power switches
beginning with the devices that are earliest
(first) in the audio signal chain.
1 Lower the D16’s [MASTER] fader to the
–∞ position. Then turn the volumes of the
external devices to the minimum posi-
tions.
2 Turn on the power of the external input devices
(keyboards etc.) that send audio signals to the
D16.
If an external drive is connected, turn on the
power of the external drive.
3 Press the [POWER] key of the D16 to turn on the
power.
The LCD screen will show the opening message,
and then the [SONG] “SelSong” tab page will
appear.
The song that had been selected when the power
was last turned off will be selected.
4 Turn on the power of the devices to which audio
signals are being sent from the D16, such as your
monitor system or MD recorder.
