Important

Please observe the following points when using the D3200.

Introduction

for the first time

Before using the D3200

Power on/off

The D3200 is a precision instrument, similar to a personal computer, equipped with an internal hard disk drive and a CD-R/RW drive. When turning the power on and off, follow the procedures shown below.

Before you turn on the power, make sure that the power cable is firmly plugged into the D3200 and into an AC outlet.

● Power-on

(1)Lower the D3200’s MONITOR LEVEL knob to the

–∞ position. Set the volume controls of your external equipment to their lowest position.

(2)Turn on the power of external input devices such as key-

boards that are sending audio to the D3200.

(3)Turn on the main power switch (POWER ON) located on the

rear panel of the D3200.

The STANDBY indicator will light. The D3200 is now in the “standby” condition.

A certain amount of time will be required from when you turn on the main power until the STANDBY indicator lights.

(4)Press the power (ON) key located on the top panel to turn

the D3200 on.

The opening screen will appear in the LCD, and then the SONG page will appear.

A certain amount of time from when you press the power-on key until the opening screen appears.

The next time you turn the power on, the song that had been selected prior to the previous power-off will be selected.

(5)T urn on the power of your external output devices, such as

the monitor system to which the D3200 is sending audio.

If the power is turned off accidentally while the D3200 is being used, the D3200 itself or its internal hard disk drive may be damaged.

Cautions when making digital connections

If any of the synchronization settings of the D3200 do not match those of the connected device, noise may occur. Turn down the faders or minimize the volume of your monitor speakers before you change settings.

If you select a song that has a different sampling frequency, noise may occur when the change occurs. Turn down your monitors before you make such a change.

Basic operation

Main features

♦ 32-track digital multi-track recorder

The D3200 provides studio-quality sound with 64-bit internal processing, 24/16-bit recording and playback, and 48 kHz/44.1 kHz uncompressed recording.

When using 48 kHz/44.1 kHz sampling and 16-bit depth

Maximum simultaneous recording/playback 16* tracks/32 tracks

When using 48 kHz/44.1 kHz sampling and 24-bit depth

Maximum simultaneous recording/playback 12** tracks/16 tracks

*16 channels is the maximum, combining 12 analog inputs, + 2 digital inputs (S/P DIF L,R), + 2 Session Drums (L,R). **12 channels using any combination of analog inputs, digital inputs and Session Drums.

Each track (including the master track) has eight virtual tracks, allowing you to use a total of 256 + 16 tracks for each song.

1 The number of simultaneously recordable tracks will be different when you use punch recording.

❖

❖1

♦ Session Drums™

The D3200 is equipped with Korg’s unique Session Drums™. Using the Session Drums™ to control the internal drum sounds you can play, create, modify and record a drum track for your song. The Session Drums™ even have their own dedicated fader. For added realism, you can access a number of real-time control elements - such as shufﬂe, dynamics and humanize - all using the convenient Knob Matrix.

♦ XLR input jacks with +48V phantom power, analog inputs, dedicated guitar input jack,

and digital connectors

To maximize the beneﬁt of the D3200’s full-digital pr ocessing, all of the analog inputs use high-performance balanced preamps.

The eight +48V phantom-powered XLR input jacks contain high-performance mic preamps. Each of the phantom power supplies can be switched on/off individually, so you are free to mix condenser mics and dynamic mics.

All phone jack inputs (except for the guitar input jack) are the TRS balanced type. Unbalanced inputs may also be connected to these jacks. A wide range of audio sources can be connected, ranging from mic level all the way up to +4 dBu, exceeding normal professional levels. A dedicated guitar input jack is also provided.

The S/P DIF digital input supports sampling frequencies of 48 kHz/44.1 kHz, and 24- and 16-bit depths.

♦ Mixer section provides four-band EQ on each channel/track and four-band master EQ

The 44-channel 12-bus mixer section provides four-band full parametric EQ on mixer channels 1– 24, and two-band shelving EQ on mixer channels 25–32 and on the sub-mixer. The EQ applied to the input during r ecording 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 conventional analog mixers. Four-band full parametric equalization is provided for the master EQ, allowing you to make detailed adjustments to the tone during mastering.

♦ 100 mixer scene memories, plus 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 and event mixer automation

Scene changes and mixer events such as fader movements and panning operations can be recorded and reproduced according to elapsed playback time. Scene automation can be used to switch scenes automatically.

♦ Powerful modeling effects featuring real-time control via the Knob Matrix

The built-in effects utilize Korg’s proprietary “ ” modeling technology to deliver precise and powerful modeling sounds. You can use the sixteen real-time controllers of the Knob Matrix to edit effect parameters quickly and intuitively. The modeling effects include simulations of vacuum tube preamps, classic amps and cabinets from ar ound the world, and mic simulators for vintage tube mics and modern studio condenser mics.

♦ Three independent effect systems provide eleven simultaneous effects

You can use up to a total of eleven effects, each with internal 56-bit processing: 8 insert effects, 2 master effects, and 1 ﬁnal effect. For each effect, you can select an effect program created using one of 52 different effect algorithms (combinations of basic effects). The effect programs include 128 preset programs created by professional musicians and studio engineers, and 128 user effect pr ograms that you can use to create, edit and store your own custom effect settings. In addition, each song has 32 editable song effect programs. You can also control effects in real time from an external MIDI controller or from an expression pedal (EXP-2, XVP-10: sold separately).

♦ Sophisticated digital editing tools

Non-destructive editing functions (possible only on digital recorders) allow you to perform numerous edits without compromising the high audio quality. In addition to auto and manual punch-in/out, there are Undo and Redo functions that allow you to audition the “before” and “after” versions of any edit, before making it permanent. You can use Undo to retrace your steps through the sixteen most recent recording or editing operations! A total of twelve types of track editing operation are provided, including a convenient Time Expansion/Compression function that lets you match up phrases of differing tempo after recording, and a Normalize function that appropriately boosts the volume and increases the dynamic range of low-level recordings. For each song you can assign one hundred markers (with names) and six locate points to keep track of (and instantly access) the locations of all your edits.

Main features

♦ Intuitive interface designed for ease-of-use

The D3200 is designed for enhanced usability and ease of operation. Controllers such as the centerclick ClickPoint™ and cursor keys can be used to quickly select parameters and tabs in the 320 240 pixel high-resolution LCD screen. The Knob Matrix is located below the high-resolution LCD screen, and allows you to edit parameter values quickly, in real time and on the ﬂy.

♦ Internal hard drive

A high-capacity hard disk drive is built-in, providing approximately three hours of recording time per GB (16-bit, 44.1 kHz, single track recording).

♦ CD-R/RW drive for creating backup disk and audio CDs

You can use the CD drive to backup/restore song and effect data, import/export audio ﬁles, and create audio CDs. You can also place an audio CD in the drive and use the CD Player function to play it. You can create an audio CD either by writing songs individually using Track At Once; or by using the Album CD Project and Disc At Once functions.

♦ USB connection lets you easily share ﬁles with your computer

The USB connector makes it easy to exchange data with your computer. You can connect the D3200 to your computer and partition a 2, 4, or 8 GB area of the D3200’s hard drive as a PC drive for sharing data.

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.

Turn on the REC/PLAY key, and press the CH1 channel key to select Record (key lit red).

(4) (8)

(7)Set the trim level.

As you play your guitar, the INPUT 1 peak indicator (the LED at the upper left of TRIM) will light. Adjust the TRIM knob so that your loudest playing does not cause the LED to light red.

(3)

(4)

(8)Set the fader level for monitoring.

Gradually raise the CH1 fader while playing your guitar, and you will hear sound from your monitor speakers. If you are using headphones, adjust both the PHONES LEVEL knob and the MONITOR LEVEL knob.

Using these same methods, we can assign the mic and keyboard inputs to their own channels.

(9)Assign input 2 to channel 2.

Click the CH2 SOURCE channel icon, and assign “2” (INPUT

2) as the input source for channel 2 (CH2 SOURCE). Using this setting, the sound of the mic connected to INPUT 2 will be sent to CH2. Set and check the mic level as described in steps (4)–(8).

(10)Assign input 3 to channel 3.

Click the CH3 SOURCE channel icon, and assign “3” (INPUT 3) as the input source for channel 3 (CH3 SOURCE). Repeat this step and assign “4” (INPUT 4) as the input source for channel 4 (CH4 SOURCE).

Using these settings, the keyboard connected to INPUT 3 and 4 will be assigned to CH 3 and 4. Set the pan knob of channel 3 all the way to the left; set the pan knob of channel 4 all the way to the right. Now you can monitor your keyboard in stereo. Check the keyboard sound and set the level as described in steps (4)–(8).

4. Adding EQ and EFFECTS

If you want to record without any further processing, proceed to “5. Recording.” If you want to use each inputs’s 4-band parametric EQ and/or apply the D3200’s internal effects as you record, read the following sections: “Applying EQ to the input sound” and “Applying effects to the input sound.”

Applying EQ to the input sound

On the D3200 it’s also easy to apply EQ after recording.

Channels 1–23 are equipped with a four-band parametric EQ to shape the tonal characteristics of the sound. Channels 24–32 feature a two-band shelving EQ. In the next example, you can apply EQ to your guitar.

(1)Press the EQ key to access the “EQ/ATT” tab page. (2)Choose a channel.

Click the CH cell, and use the value dial or the panel + or – keys to select channel 1, the channel assigned to your guitar input.

Alternatively, you can press the CH SELECT key and turn on a channel key to select the channel.

Quick Start

EQ window

(2)

(3)

(1)

(3)Use the Knob Matrix to adjust the EQ.

As you play, use the Knob Matrix to adjust the gain, center frequency, and Q values for each of the EQ bands. The resulting EQ curve will be displayed in the EQ window.

If the level meter clips, press the ATT knob icon in the LCD screen and adjust it to a value that does not cause clipping. Keep in mind that if you are boosting the gain in multiple bands, you are increasing the level of the signal overall, and you will need to use the ATT knob to control the level. Instead of increasing the gain in multiple bands, you might try decreasing certain bands, but keeping the difference in gain between the bands the same. This will keep the level more consistent and avoid distortion.

You can apply EQ to the mic and keyboard inputs as using the same method.

Step 1: PreparationsStep 2: Quick recordingStep 3: OverdubbingStep 4: Mixdown and

Step 2: Quick recording

(4)Adjust the EQ settings of channel 2.

Click the CH cell and use the value dial or the panel + or – keys to select the channel assigned to your microphone input 2 (channel 2). Now you can apply EQ to the mic connected to INPUT 2. Adjust the EQ as described in step (3).

(5)Adjust the EQ settings of channel 3.

Click the CH cell and use the value dial or the panel + or – keys to select the ﬁrst channel assigned to your keyboard. In this example, input 3 (channel 3). Now you can apply EQ to one channel of the stereo keyboard connected to INPUT 3. Adjust the EQ as described in step (3).

mastering

(6)Adjust the EQ settings of channel 4.

Click the CH cell and use the value dial or the panel + or – keys to select the other channel assigned to your keyboard. In this example, input 4 (channel 4). You can apply EQ to the other channel of the stereo keyboard connected to INPUT 3. Adjust the EQ as described in step (3).

The D3200 allows you to “pair” adjacent pairs of channels (odd, even). If you pair the two keyboard channels, the EQ settings you make for one channel will also be applied to the other channel as well, so you do not need to EQ each channel separately. (→p.46 “3-5. Pairing”).

Applying effects to the input sound

It’s also easy to apply the D3200’s effects after recording the sound (→p.28).

Here’s how to apply effects to the input from your guitar. First, let’s assign insert effect 1 to channel1; the guitar’s input channel.

(1)Press the EFFECT key and select the “EFFRouting” tab page. (2)Assign the effect routing.

Click the InsEFF1 IN/TR cell (it will become highlighted) and use the value dial or the +/– keys to select “IN.” IN stands for Input, and TR stands for Track; choose IN if you want to apply the effect to the input sound, or TR if you want to apply the effect to the playback.

(3)Select a channel.

Click the InsEFF1 CH cell (highlighted) and use the value dial or the +/– keys to select “1.” Insert Effect 1 is now assigned to the guitar’s input channel. Next, let’s choose an effect.

(4)Choose an effect type.

Select the InsEFF1 edit cell (highlighted), click the Select button. The Select EFF Category dialog box will appear. Here you can select what type of effect you want to use on the guitar. For this example, click “Dynamics&Filter” from the “Mono” category.

(2) (3)

(1)

(4)

(5)Choose an effect program.

The Select EFF Program dialog box will appear . Now you can select the effect. For this example, click “Compressor” and then click the OK button in the LCD screen (or press the panel YES key). Insert effect 1 is now applying a “Compressor” to the guitar

You can use the disc drive to create an audio CD from the master tracks you recorded. For details, refer to the Operation section, “CD” (→p.79).

Saving your song

On the D3200, the song data that you have recorded or edited and the parameters that you have set are automatically saved during the power-off operation when you return the D3200 to the standby mode. These settings are also saved when you select a different song. This is called “auto-save.” You can also save data manually (→p.42 “Saving a song”).

The auto-save that occurs when you select a song does not save the scene or effect settings you were editing. If you want to keep the settings you were editing, you must first return to the appropriate edit screen and Store them (→p.50 “4. Storing/recalling a scene,” p.56 “4. Editing the effects”).

Saving a song

Since the D3200 automatically saves song data and parameters when you perform the shut-down operation or when you select a song, it is not absolutely necessary for you to save manually. However if the power should be interrupted by a power failure or other accident, the data that has been recorded or edited since the most recent power-on (or since a song was last selected) will be lost. We recommend that you use this command to save the data periodically after recording or editing for an extended period, or if you are using the D3200 in an environment where the power supply is unreliable.

•To save the song, hold down the SONG key and press the ENTER key located in the edit controller section of the panel.

•You can store these settings in a scene (→p.50).

•You can record these adjustments as automation (→p.52).

The channel faders have a range from silence (–∞) through unity gain (0 dB) and up to +6 dB of gain.

Inputting a source at the maximum level

Ideally, an audio source you want to record should be input at the highest possible volume that does not cause clipping. To record at the ideal maximum level on the D3200, make adjustments according to the signal flow described below.

1. Analog input jack (INPUT 1–12) TRIM

This is the ﬁrst adjustment that affects the level of the input source.

• Channels to which an insert effect is not applied

Refer to 1-1. Analog input, step (4) (→p.43).

• Channels to which an insert effect is applied

• Access the EFFECT, “InsertEFF” tab page, and

select the effect for the channel you are adjusting.

• Set “Trim” to “100.”

• Adjust the TRIM knob so that the “FX IN” level meter does not reach “CLP” when the audio signal is input.

For details, refer to “4-2. Insert EFF” (→p.114).

Since the signals from the S/P DIF jacks are input at unity gain (0 dB), you do not need to adjust the TRIM.

2. Insert effect TRIM

In some cases, applying effects to the input signal you adjusted in step 1 may increase the volume, causing distortion. In this case, make the following adjustment.

• Access the EFFECT, “InsertEFF” tab page, and click the InsEffect edit cell to select the effect whose level you want to adjust.

• Adjust “Trim” so that the “FX OUT” level meter does not reach “CLP” when the audio signal is input.

For details, refer to “4-2. Insert EFF” (→p.114).

3. Attenuator

Finally, applying EQ may increase the volume level, causing the sound to distort. In this case, make the following adjustment.

• Access the MIXER, EQ/ATT/PHASE page, press the CH SELECT key, and use the channel keys to select the input channel you’re using.

•Press the REC/PLAY key, and use the channel keys to select Record mode for the channel you’re using.

3-11. Mixer Setup

Mixer Setup lets you store the current mixer settings for subsequent recall at a later time. This allows you to store mixer settings that you use frequently, and then recall them when creating a new song. You can also use this method to copy mixer settings to a different song. The current mixer settings are stored as a “mixer setup program.” You can store twenty of these mixer setup programs. A mixer setup program contains all the mixer parameters that are included in the song.

The mixer setup programs that you store can be backed-up and restored as “User Data” “Mixer Setup Data” (→p.83).

A mixer setup contains the following parameters.

• Channel Assign, and Sub Mixer assignments

• Pair, Group

• Fader, Pan, Play/Rec EQ

• ATT, CH ON, Phase, AUX/EFF Send, Rec Send

•Effect (all settings including the parameters being edited)

• Master Fader, Master EQ, Send Out level, Send Select All

• Solo, Monitor, Cue, Session Drums

• Channel keys when the REC/PLAY key is on

• Master track record/play

4. Storing/recalling a scene

You can register frequently-used mixer settings at a desired location and store them as a “scene” for later recall. After recalling a scene, you can store it again as a new scene, or edit some of the mixer settings and store (overwrite) it back into the same scene memory.

Default Scene is automatically registered at the beginning of the song when you create a new song (→p.35), and always saves the state of the mixer settings at the end of the song. If automation is off and a scene is not selected, or if automation is on but a scene has not been stored at the beginning of the song, the mixer settings of the default scene will be used, and will appear in the selected scene cell as the current scene.

You can store the desired scenes at various locations in the song so that if Automation is turned on, these scenes will be selected automatically when playback reaches the corresponding locations. (→p.52 “5. Automation”)

You can store up to one hundred scenes for each song. A scene can contain the following settings.

Channel parameters

CH ON, Play EQ, ATT, send, insert effect assignment, fader, pan

Effects

Program numbers of the insert effects, master effects, and ﬁnal effect

Effect return, MASTER fader, AUX level, master EQ

MASTER fader settings included in a scene will be valid when playing back the tracks or when recording the master track, but will be ignored when playing back the master track.

Caution when storing effects in a scene

Scenes contain the effect program numbers. If you store a scene when you have edited the effect parameters but not stored the effect program, the scene will contain the unedited effect program. If you edit an effect program, be sure to save the effect program before you store the scene.

5. Automation

Automation is a function that automatically modifies mixer settings as the song location changes during playback. There are two types of automation; scene automation and event automation.

When automation is on, you can use the SCENE “Mixer View” tab page to view fade-in and fade-out operations and scene changes in which fader values change.

5-1. Scene automation

This type of automation automatically switches mixer settings when the song location during playback or recording arrives at the registered location for that scene.

When you register a scene, the location is also registered along with the other settings. When the current location of the song matches the registered location of the scene, the Scene Automation function will automatically select this scene, causing the mixer settings to change to the settings of the scene.

You can also re-register a scene at a different location, or edit the mixer settings of the scene and overwrite it onto the same scene memory.

Using scene automation

Scenes can be set to change automatically, when playback reaches the location where the scene was stored.

Store the scene at the location where you want the mixer settings to change (→p.50 “4-1. Storing a scene”).

(1) Access the SCENE, “EditScene” tab page, and turn

Automation “ON.”

The automation indicator will light.

(2) Play back the song.

Move to the location where you want the playback to start, and press the PLAY key. When playback reaches the location at which the scene was stored, that scene will be recalled.

Storing a scene at a different location

You can recall a stored scene and store it again at a different location.

(1) Recall the scene that contains the mixer settings you

want to store again at a different location.

For the procedure, refer to “4-2. Recalling a scene” (→p.50).

(2) Move to the location at which you want to store the

scene (→p.38).

(3) Store the scene.

For details, refer to “4-1. Storing a scene.”

Editing the location of a stored scene

You can edit the location of a stored scene to change when it will become active during playback.

(1) Access the SCENE, “EditScene” tab page, and select

(highlight) the desired scene.

(2) Click the EditLoc button to display the Edit Scene

Location dialog box.

(3) Edit the location, and click the Yes button (or press the

panel YES key) to ﬁnalize the change.

If you click the No button (or press the panel NO key), you will return to the “EditScene” tab page without making any change.

You can also change the location in the “EventList” tab page.

5-2. Event automation

This type of automation records mixer operation events such as fader movements or pan motion during playback, and reproduces these operations at the corresponding time during playback or recording. You can also selectively re-record the recorded events, or copy them to another location or a different channel. You can keep recording events until the Events Remaining indication reaches 0%. The following operations can be recorded as events.

• Fader operations of each channel

• MASTER fader operations

• Channel On operations of each channel

• Pan operations of each channel

• AUX send operations of each channel

•Effect send operations of each channel

• Expression pedal operations

You can use the Undo function to restore recorded or edited automation events to their state prior to recording or editing.

If a scene is stored within the region where you want to record events, we recommend that you use the SCENE, “SceneFilter” tab page (→p.106) to disable the settings of that scene for the parameter(s) you intend to record, so that those parameters will be affected only by the event automation.

Recording mixer operations

There are two ways to record event automation. You can overwrite all events from the point where you start song playback/recording until the point where you stop (Over Write). Alternatively, you can record only the operations that occur between two specified locations, or only for the region in which you actually operated the faders (Punch Write). (→p.104) As an example, here’s how to use “Over Write” to record events while the song plays back.

(1) Select the song that you want to use to record mixer

operations.

(2) Move to the location at which you want to start record-

ing automation, and store the mixer settings as a scene.

Automation recording will start from the location of the scene you store here, and this scene will be the mixer settings at the beginning of the recording.

• If you want to use an existing scene, recall that scene,

move to the location at which you want to begin recording automation, and store the scene again.

(3) Access the Scene, “Automation” tab page, and select

the channels for which you want to record mixer operations.

If you want to record events for a channel, click its button to make it indicate “ ”.

(4) Use the Pan, CH ON, Send, Fader, and Expression

radio buttons to select the type of event you want to record.

You can record only one type of event at a time.

If you select Send, events will be recorded for the Send key (INTERNAL 1/2, AUX 1/2) selected by the cell beside the button.

Effects

The D3200 provides up to eight insert effects that you can insert into mixer channels, up to two master effects that can process the sends from each channel, and one final effect to process the master bus.

Effect type and size

There are two types of effect program: stereo and mono. You can use either type of program as an insert effect, but mono programs cannot be used as master effects or as the final effect.

Insert effect 8 cannot use a stereo effect program.

As an example, the type of effect programs that can be used to provide eight simultaneous insert effects are called “size1” programs. Relative to this, other more complex effect programs are categorized as “size-2” or “size-4” programs. The size of each effect program is shown by an icon “ ” displayed at the right of the effect name.

How DSP power is allocated to the effects

On the D3200, the term “DSP power” refers to the total processing capability that can be used to process effect programs.

to the master bus

The effect programs are common to all of the above types of effect. There are 128 preset effect programs. Each effect program is constructed from one of 52 different effect algorithms. There are 128 user effect programs in which you can store your own edited settings, and 32 song effect programs for each song, in which you can store effect settings for that specific song.

Each song can store its own 32 song effect programs. You cannot rewrite the preset effect programs. However, a preset

effect can be recalled, edited and stored to a user program.

There is enough DSP power to process “16 sizes-worth” of effect programs. A total of eleven effects can be used by insert, master, and final effects, but since the sum of the all the effect sizes is limited to no more than 16, the number of effects that can be used simultaneously will change, depending on the combination of effect sizes. A specific amount of DSP power is allocated to the insert, master, and final effects, and the breakdown for each variety of effect is shown in the following table.

2. Using master effects

You use insert effects by inserting them into a mixer channel to process the sound of an input source or audio track.

A maximum of eight insert effects can be used simultaneously, and these effect programs may have a total size of no more than 8. In other words, you must assign effect programs so that their total size stays within this limit.

1-2. Applying insert effects during

playback

You can apply an insert effect to the playback of a previously-recorded track.

For details on how to apply an insert effect to the track playback, refer to Quick Start. (→p.28)

To use a master effect, adjust the send level of each channel to send some of its signal to the effect. The master effects are typically used to apply reverb or to make the overall mix richer and better balanced. The D3200 provides two master effects (MstEFF1 and MstEFF2), and these can be used simultaneously. However if you use a size-4 effect, the available processing power of both master effects will be used, so only master effect 1 will be available.

Session Drums™

The D3200 is equipped with Korg’s Session Drums. By using Session Drums in conjunction with the Knob Matrix, you can easily create a realistic drum track for your song, without tedious programming. This drum track can be used as reference as you record, or as part of your completed song. Patterns are the basic elements of the drum track. By stringing different patterns together and adding fills, intro and ending patterns, you can create a program map. The Session Drums is recorded on its own dedicated track, so you can use the pattern map to play drum patterns and still have thirty-two tracks available for recording.

1. Listening to drum patterns

If the song is playing, press the STOP key to stop playback.

The D3200 contains 756 drum patterns (→p.176 “Drum Pat- tern List”).

(1) Access the SESSION DRUMS “DrmsMixer” tab page,

and click the “Assign” Monitor radio button.

For now, keep matrix knobs 5–8 all the way toward the left in their “OFF” position. We’ll get to these in the next section. For details on what each knob does, refer to “Auditioning the pattern map” (→p.59).

If you select a new pattern using the GROUP, SESS, or VARI knobs while a pattern is playing, the Session Drums will switch to the new pattern at the beginning of the next measure.

If you click the Fill button while a drum pattern is playing, a fill-in pattern will play at the beginning of the next measure, and then the Session Drums will revert to the previous drum pattern.

If you select a new pattern using the GROUP, SESS, or VARI knobs while a fill-in pattern is playing, the Session Drums will switch to the newly selected pattern when the fill-in ends.

If you click the Ending button while a drum pattern is playing, an ending pattern will play at the beginning of the next measure, and then the Session Drums will stop.

If you click the RUN button while the Session Drums are playing, the drumming will stop.

While the “SessionDr.” tab page is displayed, you can use the panel LOC 3 and LOC 4 keys instead of the on-screen RUN and

FILL buttons. You can also hold down the panel SESSION DRUMS key and press the LOC 3 key instead of the on-screen

Ending button.

(5) Use matrix knobs 1–4 to select the drum pattern that

you want to use for the starting measure.

• Use the GROUP knob to select the drum pattern

group.

• Use the SESS knob to select a pattern set from within

the current group.

• Use the VARI knob to select a variation of the cur-

rently selected pattern set. Turning the knob toward the right will make the pattern “busier” and add more sounds.

• Use the TEMPO knob if you want to set a different

tempo for this event.

(6) When you’ve chosen the drum patterns you want to

use, click the Record button (it will be highlighted), and then click the Play/Stop button (it will be highlighted) to start recording the drum map.

While the “SessionDr.” tab page is displayed, you can use the panel LOC 1 and LOC 2 keys instead of the on-screen Play/ Stop and Record buttons.

(7) As the pattern plays, use the VARI knob (matrix knob

3) to switch pattern variations.

Turning the knob toward the right will make the pattern “busier” and add more sounds.

(8) When you want to insert a ﬁll-in, click the FILL button

while the preceding measure is still playing.

(9) When you want to insert an ending pattern, click the

Ending button while the preceding measure is still playing. After the ending pattern has been recorded, a blank pattern will be recorded.

(10)If you want to record tempo changes as you record, use

the TEMPO knob (matrix knob 4).

The tempo settings used during recording will be saved as part of the tempo track. During recording, you can use the TEMPO knob to gradually increase or decrease the tempo, starting at that location. If you want the song to instantly change to a new tempo setting at the beginning of a specific measure, record at a fixed tempo, and then edit the pattern map (→p.64 “6-2. Pattern map tempo”) to change the tempo.

(11)At the last measure of the drum performance, click the

PLAY/STOP button to stop recording the pattern map.

You can use the “PatternMap” tab page to view the pattern map that you created in this way.

When you use the on-screen buttons or the panel keys to move between measures, the counter will automatically switch to the measure display.

As the pattern map plays, you can use the matrix knobs 5–8 to listen to other Session Drum features.

• Use the SHFFL knob to add various amounts of “shuf-

ﬂe” feel to your drum track.

• The ACCNT and INTNS knobs can add more dynam-

ics to your drum track. The ACCNT knob selects dif- ferent accent tables, and the INTNS knob sets depth of accent.

• The HUMAN knob adds introduces slight variations

in timing and velocity to add a more “human” feel to your drum track.

3. Recording with Session Drums

The drum track you create using Session Drums can be used in a variety of ways. You can listen to the drum track as a reference as you record your other tracks. The Session Drums can be assigned to inputs and recorded on channel tracks, allowing you to add insert effects as they are recorded. You can also introduce the drums to the master bus, so that the Session Drums will be mixed in as part of your master track.

Recording additional tracks as you listen to the drum track

Here’s how you can record a performance while listening to drum patterns as a guide rhythm.

(1) Access the SESSION DRUMS “DrmsMixer” tab page,

and set “Assign” to either Monitor or Master.

(2) Turn on the DRUMS key.

Use the DRUMS fader to adjust the volume.

(3) Connect your input devices, and begin recording.

Refer to “1. Inputting audio to the mixer” (→p.42).

(4) If Click Monitor is turned on in the SESSION DRUMS

“SessionDr.” tab page, the currently-speciﬁed drum pattern will play. If Click Monitor is turned off, the pattern map will play.

If Click Monitor is off and nothing is recorded in the pattern map, the drums will not play.

The drums themselves will not be recorded using this procedure.

5. Pattern maps

You can use Session Drums to create a pattern map in real time. When you do this, pattern map events will be automatically created each time you switch patterns. By editing existing events or adding new events to this pattern map, you can create a high-quality pattern map for the entire song.

You can’t create or edit a pattern map if the song’s Protect setting is turned on.

You can’t use the pattern map if the Click Monitor button is turned on (highlighted) in the “SessionDr.” tab page. Click the Click Monitor button to turn it off.

When creating or editing a pattern map, the types of events that can be edited will depend on the RecMode setting in the “Ses- sionDr.” tab page (→p.143 “11. Rec Mode”).

Creating a pattern map

You can add events to the pattern map to change the time signature, drum pattern, or tempo setting at the specified measure. By changing the number of measures and the drum pattern assigned to each event in the pattern map, you can create a drum performance for an entire song, including fill-ins and an ending.

Another way to create a pattern map is to use the “SessionDr.” tab page to make the changes in real time while you listen to the drum patterns, and then use the “PatternMap” tab page to edit each event.

The performance of the pattern map you create here is automatically recorded on the drum track, but you can also record it on a channel track or the master track (→p.59 “3. Recording with Session Drums”).

(1) Enable the pattern map.

• Access the SESSION DRUMS “SessionDr.” tab page.

•Turn the Click Monitor button off (normal display).

(2) Set the parameters for event “001” at the beginning of

the pattern map.

• Access the SESSION DRUMS “PatternMap” tab

page.

• In the list, select (highlight) “001:...”.

The pattern map consists of up to two hundred events; event “001” which specifies the pattern at the beginning of the song, and events “002” through (up to) “200” which specify pattern changes during the song.

• Click the Edit button to open the Edit Map Event dia-

log box. When the dialog box appears, you will automatically be in preview (audition) mode.

• Use the GROUP, SESS, and VARI knobs to select the pattern that event “001” will use.

• Use the TEMPO knob if you want to set a different tempo for this event.

• Use the Length cell to specify the number of measures that the pattern will continue playing.

The beginning of the pattern map is fixed at “001” and cannot be changed.

• When you’ve made the desired settings, click the OK button (or press the panel YES key).

(3) (2)

(3) If you want the time signature or drum pattern etc. to

change during the song, you can add more steps to the pattern map.

• Click the New button to open the New Map Event

dialog box.

• Use the GROUP, SESS, and VARI knobs to specify the

desired drum pattern.

• If you want to create a tempo change, use the TEMPO

knob to set the new tempo. The new tempo will begin with the ﬁrst measure in this event.

• If you want to select a blank pattern, a ﬁll, or an end-

ing pattern, click the Blank, Fill, or Ending buttons respectively.

• Use the Start Meas cell to specify the starting measure, and the Length cell to specify the number of measures.

• When you click the OK button (or press the panel key), the new event will be added to the pattern map. When you add a new event to the pattern map, the event numbers of the pattern map will be consecutively reassigned starting from the beginning of the song.

• By adding events to the pattern map, you can create the drum track for an entire song, including an intro, ﬁll-ins, switching patterns, and an ending.

•You can click the Prev button to preview (audition) the drum pattern assigned to an individual event.

(4) Listen to the pattern map you’ve created.

In the SESSION DRUMS “SessionDr.” tab page, click the Play button. The drum patterns will switch according to the pattern map you created. Alternatively, you can move to the beginning of the song, turn on the DRUMS key, and press the PLAY key to play back the song.

(3) Verify that the event was deleted as you intended.

Check the pattern map in the “PatternMap” tab page.

6. Tempo

The tempo of a D3200 song is controlled by the tempo track. By creating a pattern map, you can either have the entire song play back at one tempo, or enter tempo changes throughout the song to create variations in the tempo. It is also possible to record and play back tempo changes from an external MIDI device.

In order to change the tempo clock or to record a pattern map, you must turn off the Clip Monitor button in the “SessionDr.” tab page. (Refer to “Song Guide function”).

Playing the entire song at the same tempo

Record a pattern map. When doing so, don’t change the tempo setting. We suggest that you set the “SessionDr.” tab page parameter RecMode to Pattern, so that tempo changes are not recorded. All events will play at the tempo specified by the tempo track. (→p.64 “6-2. Pattern map tempo”)

Alternatively, you can edit the tempo of event “001” (the first event of the pattern map) to make the entire song play back at the tempo you specify. (→“6-2. Pattern map tempo”)

Changing the tempo during the song

If you want the tempo to change at a specific location, you can manually adjust the tempo at that point during recording. If you want the tempo to change at the beginning of a specific measure, you can edit the pattern map. The changed tempo will be maintained even if the pattern or session changes.

If you want to change the tempo of a pattern map, refer to “6-

2. Pattern map tempo” below.

The Song Guide function

Even without creating a song map beforehand, you can make a drum pattern play from the monitor outputs while you record, so that the drum pattern will function as a metronome for your performance. In the “SessionDr.” tab page, turn the Click Monitor button on (highlighted), and a drum pattern will play according to the pattern and tempo settings of the currently displayed “SessionDr.” tab page. The tempo map settings are ignored at this time. This is called the Song Guide function.

Drum patterns will not be recorded on the pattern track when you’re using this function.

6-1. Tempo track

You can record MIDI Clock data or Tap Tempo data on the tempo track, and use the tempo track to control the tempo of the song.

If the Click Monitor button is turned on in the “SessionDr.” tab page, the Click Monitor button will be switched off when you record the tempo track.

Recording MIDI Clock data from an external MIDI sequencer, and using it as the tempo track

MIDI Clock data from an external MIDI sequencer can be recorded as tempo data on the tempo track. You can use this when you want to synchronize a D3200 song with song data created on a MIDI sequencer in which the tempo changes continuously.

If MIDI Clock data was not received correctly from your MIDI sequencer, recording may stop in the middle of the song.

(1) Specify the time signature of the song.

If the time signature of the song data created on your MIDI sequencer changes during the song, create a new pattern map that begins where the time signature changes. (→p.58)

Tempo settings will play back in synchronization, but measures will become incorrectly aligned if the time signature changes do not match.

(2) Connect the MIDI OUT connector of your MIDI

sequencer to the D3200’s MIDI IN connector.

(3) Set your MIDI sequencer so that it will transmit MIDI

Clock messages.

Refer to the owner’s manual of your MIDI sequencer.

(4)

(5)

(4) Specify how you want to record the tempo.

In the SESSION DRUMS “TempoTrk” tab page, set Tempo Rec Mode to “MIDIClock.”

(5) Record MIDI Clock data.

• Click the RecStart button to put the D3200 in the

record-ready state.

• Start your MIDI sequencer.

• When the D3200 starts receiving MIDI Clock data

from your MIDI sequencer, it will indicate “Receiving

MIDIClock.”

(6) When your MIDI sequencer ﬁnishes playing, stop the

MIDI sequencer.

When the D3200 ﬁnishes recording, it will indicate

“Complete.” Click the OK button (or press the panel YES key).

Tap tempo

You can record the tempo track by pressing (tapping) the PLAY key at the beginning of each measure (or on each beat) as the song plays.

You can use a PS-1 foot switch (sold separately) instead of the PLAY key (→p.119).

Tap tempo lets you record the tempo track after a song has already been recorded. If you record the tempo for a song for which you did not originally specify the tempo, you will be able to do the following things.

• Edit tracks in units of measures

• Connect and synchronize external MIDI devices

(1) Specify the time signature of the song.

If the time signature changes during the song, create a pattern map at the location where the time signature changes.

Tempo settings will play back in synchronization, but measures will become incorrectly aligned if the time signature changes do not match.

(2) If you want to use a foot switch to input the tap tempo,

connect an optional PS-1 foot switch to the FOOT SWITCH jack of the D3200.

(3) Specify how you want to record the tempo.

Access the SESSION DRUMS, “TempoTrk” tab page, and choose Tempo Rec Mode, “MeasTap” (tap at the beginning of each measure) or “BeatTap” (tap on each beat).

(4) Record the tap tempo track.

• Click the RecStart button to put the D3200 in record-

ready mode. Tap tempo will be recorded from the beginning of the song.

• When you press the PLAY key or a connected foot

switch, the song will begin playing, and tap tempo recording will also begin.

• While you listen to the playback, record the tap tempo

by pressing the PLAY key or foot switch at the inter- vals you speciﬁed in step (4). The counter will be displayed while you record the tap tempo.

When using the PLAY key to record tap tempo, do not strike the key any more forcefully than necessary. Doing so may damage the hard disk etc.

(5) After you have input the last tap, press the STOP key.

For example if you are inputting four measures of a 4/4 time signature, tap four times in the case of “MeasTap” or sixteen times in the case of “BeatTap” to input up to the beginning of the ﬁfth measure. Then press the STOP key. If you input taps only until mid-way through the song, the tempo of the last-input measure or beat will be automatically copied to the end of the song.

(6) Check the tempo source.

Move to the beginning of the song, press the PLAY key to play back, and check the tempo.

6-2. Pattern map tempo

If you don’t specify a tempo in the pattern map, the tempo will be recorded according to the tempo track. However by setting the RecMode to Pat&T or Tempo, you can record a pattern map and manually record tempo changes. When you’re recording the pattern map, tempo changes will apply from the location where the change occurs (regardless of the measure of the pattern), and this tempo will be maintained until the next tempo change that occurs. If you want the tempo to change at the beginning of a measure (for example when you switch patterns), record with a fixed tempo, and then edit the tempo of the appropriate pattern map event. Subsequent events will also be automatically changed to this tempo.

Even if you edit the tempo of a pattern map event where tempo changes have already been recorded during the measure, the change will apply from the beginning of the measure.

Recorder

The D3200 has 32 channel tracks for each song. For each channel track, there are eight virtual tracks; A through H.

There is also a two-channel master track that is used for recording the final stereo mix of your song. If you want to create an audio CD, the data on the master track will be used. The D3200 provides a separate master track for each song, and this master also has eight virtual tracks; A through H.

The following table shows the number of available tracks and the number of tracks that can be used simultaneously.

1. Recording

The D3200’s recorder can record analog or digital audio input sources assigned to mixer channels. Then you’ll use the master track to combine the multiple recorded tracks into a two-track stereo mix.

Bounce recording

Bounce recording is a way to combine the data from multiple tracks down to just one or two tracks. The D3200 provides a stereo master track that is separate from the channel tracks. To perform bounce recording, just play back the tracks you want to bounce, and record them onto the master track. After listening to the Bounced data on the Master Track and verifying that it is correct, simply copy (overwrite) the master track to any of the real tracks or virtual tracks. (→p.132)

1-1. Basic recording

Here’s how to record the audio signal that you specified in “1. Inputting audio to the mixer” (→p.42).

(1) Create a new song (→p.35 “1-1. Creating a new song”). (2) Adjust the mixer settings (→p.42 “1. Inputting audio to

the mixer”). (3) Apply effects to the audio input (→p.54 “Effects”). (4) Apply EQ to the audio input (→p.45 “Applying EQ to

an audio input”). (5) Adjust the pan (→p.45 “3-2. Adjusting the pan”). (6) Check the recording mode.

Access the REC/PLAY MODE, “RecMode” tab page,

and click the “Normal” in the Rec Mode.

(7) Set the recording level.

You can set the recording level in one of two ways.

•You can record at the optimum level simply by recording at the level you speciﬁed in steps (1) through (4). Click the REC button to set it to “PRE” in the CH VIEW, “Ch View” tab page.

• If you want to further adjust the channel fader and record at the adjusted level, click the REC button to set “PST” in the CH VIEW, “Ch View” tab page.

With the PRE setting, the channel fader will send the input signal to the master bus, setting the monitor level. With the PST setting, the send level to the master bus will be the same as the recording level.

You can also make this setting in the MIXER, SEND (EFF/ AUX/REC), “Rec Send” tab page.

(8) Move to the location where you want to start record-

ing. (→p.38)

(9) Put the D3200 in record-ready condition.

1-2. Switching virtual tracks

Each song contains up to 32 tracks and one master track (stereo). In addition, each track has eight “virtual tracks,” labelled A– H. When you record or play back, you can specify which of these virtual tracks A–H will be used. This means that you can switch between virtual tracks to record multiple “takes” of a performance, and then choose the best take.

1-4. Trigger recording

Trigger recording is a function that automatically starts recording when the input signal level exceeds a specified value.

Trigger/RecStart

Recording will start when the input signal level exceeds the speciﬁed value.

You will not be able to execute recording if MIDI Sync is set to MTC.

Trigger/Punch In

When the input level exceeds the speciﬁed threshold value while the song is playing, the recorder will switch from playback to recording.

(1) Prepare for recording.

Refer to “1-1. Basic recording” (→p.64), steps (1)–(5).

(2) Adjust the settings for trigger recording.

Access the REC/PLAY MODE, “RecMode” tab page, and click either “Trigger/RecStart” or “Trigger/Punch

In” (the TRIGGER LED will light).

(3) Specify the input signal level (“Threshold”) at which

recording will begin.

(4) If you want recording to begin from a time slightly ear-

lier than the moment that the input signal exceeds the “Threshold” (i.e., so that the attack is recorded), you can set the “PreTriggerTime.”

Trigger recording will cause recording to start when the threshold is exceeded, but the PreTriggerTime lets you prevent the attack of the ﬁrst note from being cut off.

You can use the internal disc drive to create an original CD from any of your songs that have been mixed down to the master tracks. There are two ways to create a CD.

Track At Once

With this method, songs are written to CD individually, one at a time.

Disc At Once (Album CD Project)

With this method, you can arrange your completed songs in the desired playback order, and write all songs to the CD in one operation.

You can also import track data from an audio CD into the clipboard or the PC drive (the “Ripping” function).

1. Track At Once

With this method, songs are written to the CD one at a time. A two-second gap will automatically be added between songs. In order to play back the completed CD, you must finalize the disc.

No additional songs can be written to a disc once it has been finalized.

Since some audio CD players are unable to play CD-RW discs, we recommend that you use CD-R discs.

4. Naming a track

You can assign a name to each track. When you create a new song, the track name will be “No

Name.”

We recommend that you rename the track so that you can remember which part is recorded on which track.

(1) Use the TRACK, “Vtrk1–32” tab page to select the

track that you want to rename. (2) Click the Rename button. (3) Edit the name in the Rename dialog box.

For details, refer to “1-2. Renaming a song” (→p.36).

(1) Create the master track(s) for the songs you want to

write to the CD (→p.67 “1-6. Creating a master track”).

(2) Insert a disc into the CD-R/RW drive.

Use a blank disc or a disc that has not been ﬁnalized.

(3) Select the song that you want to write to the disc

(→p.36).

In order for a song to be written to CD, it must already have been mixed down to the master track

(4) Press the CD key, click the Track at Once button in the

screen to access the Track at Once dialog box, and then click the Get Information button. The “CD Information” area will show either “Blank Disc” or the CD track number(s).

(7) Finalize the disc.

When you are ﬁnished writing songs to this CD, and want to be able to play the disc on an audio CD player, click the Finalize button to ﬁnalize the disc. A message will ask you for conﬁrmation. If you are sure you want to ﬁnalize the disc, click the Yes button (or press the panel YES key).

Once a disc has been finalized, no further songs can be added to it. In other words, you should finalize a disc only after you have written all the songs that you intend to write to it.

(8) When ﬁnalization is completed, the CD-R/RW drive

tray will open. The LCD screen will indicate “Completed.” Click the OK button (or press the panel YES key) to return to the CD page.

(5) Write the song.

• Click the Write To CD button to display the WriteToCD dialog box.

• Select the writing speed.

You must use a disc that supports the selected writing speed.

•A message of “Obey Copyright Rules” will appear. Read the owner’s manual section “COPYRIGHT WARNING” (→p.iii), and click the Yes button (or press the panel YES key) if you accept the terms.

If the selected song is 24-bit, click the Dither button to turn it on if you want dithering to be performed.

• The D3200 will begin creating an image ﬁle.

The data will be written to CD as a 44.1 kHz song. If you select a song whose sampling rate is other than 44.1 kHz, the data must be converted, and a certain amount of time will be required for the conversion to be performed before the song appears in the track list.

You can abort creation of the image file by clicking the Cancel button.

• When the image ﬁle has been created, the D3200 will begin writing it to disc.

• When writing is completed, the display will indicate “Completed.” If you want to create another disc with the same data, click the Yes button (or press the panel YES key). Otherwise, click the No button (or press the panel NO key) to proceed to the next step.

If you create another disc with the same data, the process will take less time since the image file has already been created.

(6) If you want to write another song to the CD, repeat

steps (2) through (5).

Each additional song will be written to CD following the end of the previously written song(s) on the disc.

2. Disc At Once

2-1. Album CD Project

If you use Album CD Project to create a CD, you can specify the amount of silence (blank space) between each track, and assign marks for each song to specify the beginning of each track. In addition, since this method writes the CD using Disc At Once, the audio CD you create can be used as a master CD for pressing. You can create one Album CD Project for each song drive, and can also back up the data to CD-R/RW (→p.83).

If you use Album CD Project to write a disc, no additional data can be written to that disc.

When you create an Album CD Project, new audio data for writing will be created; this will occupy additional hard disk space.

Even if you delete the original songs, the Album CD Project audio data will not be deleted.

2-2. Creating a live CD

If you have recorded a single continuous performance, such as a live concert performance that contains individual songs, you can create a “live CD” recording. By inserting CD track markers into the performance, the entire CD can be played back as a continuous performance with no gaps between the individual songs, just as it was recorded. However, the benefit of creating a live CD using this method is that you can also access the songs individually, just as you would on a regular CD.

Assigning a track index to each of the individual songs recorded as part of one continuous live performance on song A (figure A), to create a live CD in which there are no gaps between tracks, and the song or dialog starts at the beginning of each track

Song you already created

Figure

“Completed”, click the OK button (or press the panel YES key).

This process will take longer in proportion to the amount of data you’re ripping.

Data

Whenever you switch songs or turn off the power, the D3200’s Auto Save function will automatically save (to the hard drive) the songs or parameters that you recorded or edited. This means that you do not need to perform any particular operations to save your data as long as you power -off using the procedure described on page 2. (→p.42 “Saving a song”).

You do need to save the effect settings if you have edited effect programs.

The data saving operations explained in this section are used when you have created important data on the D3200 that you want to save on a CD-R/RW or your computer, or when you want to delete data from the hard disk to obtain more free space. Depending on the type of data, you can use either Backup or Export to save it. Data you save in this way can be used again by restoring or importing it.
