Basic operation
♦ Installable ADAT I/O board (DIB-8: optional)
This board provides eight channels of ADAT format digital input and output,
plus word clock input/output.
ADAT input/output supports 48 kHz/44.1 kHz sampling frequencies and
24/16-bit depths.
♦ Mixer section provides four-band EQ on each channel/track and eight-
band master EQ
The 56-channel/14-bus [*40-channel/12-bus] mixer section provides full-par-
ametric 4-band equalization with selectable high/low shelving on the mixer
channels, and 2-band shelving EQ on the sub-mixer.
The EQ applied to the input during recording is independent from the EQ
applied to the track during playback, so there is no danger of applying the
same EQ twice – a problem that often occurs on MTR units containing con-
ventional analog mixers.
Eight-band full parametric equalization is provided for the master EQ, allow-
ing you to make detailed adjustments to the tone during mastering.
♦ 100 scene memories, and MIDI control of mixer parameters
For each song, you can store one hundred scenes containing the fader, EQ,
pan, and effect settings of the mixer section. Scenes can be easily recalled
when desired as general-purpose settings. You can also use MIDI to switch
scenes, and to transmit and receive mixer parameters such as fader and pan.
♦ Scene automation switches scenes automatically (D16XD)
Scenes can switch automatically according to elapsed playback time.
♦ Record and play back mixer parameter automation events in synchroni-
zation with the song (D32XD)
Scene changes and mixer events such as fader movements and panning oper-
ations can be recorded and reproduced according to elapsed playback time.
Scene automation can be used to switch scenes automatically.
♦ Automation playback with moving faders (D32XD)
The D32XD uses seventeen 100 mm motorized - or “flying” - faders to adjust
the channel balance in realtime. When recording, playing back, or recalling a
scene when automation is on, the faders will move to their programmed loca-
tions. These faders are touch-sensitive. By touching a fader that is being auto-
matically moved by event automation, you can halt automatic changes for
that channel.
♦ Powerful modeling effects operated by control knobs
The built-in effects utilize Korg’s proprietary “ ” modeling technology to
deliver precise and powerful modeling sounds.
You can use the four control knobs to edit effect parameters quickly and intu-
itively.
The modeling effects include simulations of vacuum tube preamps, classic
amps and cabinets from around the world, and mic simulators for vintage
tube mics and modern studio condenser mics.
♦ Three independent effect systems for simultaneous use
You can use up to a total of twenty-seven [*eleven] effects, each with internal
56-bit processing: 24 [*8] insert effects, 2 master effects, and 1 final effect.
For each effect, you can select an effect program consisting of one of 52 differ-
ent effect algorithms (combinations of basic effects).
The effect programs include 128 preset programs created by professional
musicians and studio engineers, and 128 user effect programs that you can
use to create, edit and store your own custom effect settings.
