To ensure trouble-free enjoyment, please read this manual carefully and use the instrument as directed. 1. Main features · 16-track digital recorder The D1600mkII delivers studio-quality sound with 24-bit internal processing, 16/24-bit recording and playback, and uncompressed recording at a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. It allows a maximum of 16 tracks of simultaneous playback (16-bit) and up to 8 tracks of simultaneous recording. The recording time is a maximum of approximately 122 hours (16-bit, one track). Each track provides eight virtual tracks, meaning that you can record 128 tracks per song. · XLR input jacks with +48V phantom power supply, analog inputs, dedicated guitar input jack, and digital jacks All analog inputs of the D1600mkII use high-performance balanced head amps that take full advantage of its all-digital audio quality. The four XLR input jacks with +48V phantom power contain highquality mic preamps, allowing condenser mics to be connected directly. All phone jack inputs are balanced TRS-types. Unbalanced input is also supported. Levels from mic level to +16 dBu (higher than professional level) are supported, letting you directly connect a wide variety of audio sources. There's also a dedicated guitar input jack. The S/P DIF digital input contains a sampling rate converter, allowing 48 kHz or 32 kHz sources to be automatically converted to 44.1 kHz for recording. · Mixer section provides three-band EQ with sweepable mid-range · 100 scene memories, and mixer data transmission/ reception via MIDI The D1600mkII's 24-channel 8-bus mixer section provides 3-band EQ (high EQ and low EQ are shelving types, and mid EQ is a peaking type with adjustable center frequency) on every analog input and mixer channel. Since EQ is applied separately to the inputs and the mixer, you won't have the problem of recording EQ settings being re-applied to the playback ­ a mistake that's easy to make with MTR systems that have an analog internal mixer. Mixer parameters such as fader, EQ, pan, and effect settings can be stored as a scene, and each song can contain one hundred scenes. Scenes can be switched automatically as time progresses, or can be easily recalled when desired as general-purpose settings. Mixer data such as fader and pan can be transmitted and received via MIDI, allowing the mixer to be automated from an external sequencer. · Three independent effects usable simultaneously The three independent built-in effects (Insert, Master, and Final) use 44-bit internal processing. For each of these three effects, you can choose an effect program that consists of up to five effects taken from 98 types of high-quality effect. 128 insert, 32 master, and 32 final effects (total 192) created by professional musicians and studio engineers are provided as preset programs. You can edit these preset effect programs and store 192 more of your own in the user area. External MIDI controllers or an expression pedal (EXP-2, XVP-10: sold separately) can control an insert effect in realtime. · Sophisticated editing The non-destructive editing offered only by digital recorders lets you edit without impairing the high audio quality. You can use auto or manual punch-in/ out. The Undo function that lets you revert to the state prior to a recording or editing operation, in conjunction with the Redo that cancels the Undo, lets you step back through as many as 99 prior recording or editing operations. Ten different track editing commands include the convenient Time Expansion/ Compression operation that lets you match phrases of differing tempo after they have been recorded, and Normalize that boosts low-level tracks to the appropriate level. In each song you can assign 100 named Mark points and four Locate points, letting you move immediately to the song location where you want to edit. · Hard disk drive built-in · Hard disk USB drive and USB connector The D1600mkII contains a high-capacity 40 GB hard disk drive. Of the total capacity, 2 GB are allocated as a "USB drive*" that can be connected to your computer via the USB connector for sharing of data, and the remaining capacity is used as a "song drive" for holding your songs. WAV files can be imported or exported, making it easy to transfer audio data to or from your computer. * FAT 16 is supported · Create audio CDs using the CD-R/RW drive You can use the CD-R/RW drive to backup/restore songs and effect data, import/export WAV files, and create audio CDs. You can also insert an audio CD in the drive, patch the sound to a mixer channel, and record or play it. An audio CD can be written in two ways; you can write one song at a time using Track At Once, or you can insert markers in a single song (e.g., recorded from a live performance) and write each section as a track of an audio CD by using the Disc At Once method. 1 Listening to the demo song Preparations Basic operation Objects in the LCD screen and their functions Parts and their function Introduction Introduction · Auto Save function automatically preserves your data at power-off The D1600mkII features an Auto Save function that automatically saves your recorded or edited songs and phrases to the hard disk whenever you switch songs or turn off the power. LCD screens The parameter values shown in the LCD screens printed in this manual are explanatory examples, and may not necessarily match the displays that appear on your D1600mkII. What is ? (Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System) is Korg's proprietary technology for digitally recreating the numerous factors that produce and influence a sound, ranging from the sound-production mechanisms of acoustic instruments and electric/electronic musical instruments, to the resonances of an instrument body or speaker cabinet, the sound field in which the instrument is played, the propagation route of the sound, the electrical and acoustic response of mics and speakers, and the changes produced by vacuum tubes and transistors. 3.
