Using The Tuner; Recording; Adjust The Recording Level, And Record - Korg D1600mkII Owner's Manual

3. Using the tuner

The D1600mkII has a built-in tuner function.
To tune an instrument
Connect the instrument you want to tune to the [INPUT
8/GUITAR IN] jack.
1. Use "SelectSource" to select the audio source you
want to tune.
In the [INPUT/TUNER] "Tuner" tab page, set
"SelectSource" to "Input8."
2. Set "Calib" to the reference frequency you want to
use.
Normally you will use "440 Hz."
3. Input sound from your instrument, and tune it.
The display shows the note name closest to the pitch
you input. Tune your instrument so that the ●
symbol is located below the triangle (▼) in the
middle.
The pitch difference is displayed in units of cents.
(100 cents = semitone, 1200 cents = 1 octave)
You cannot select this page while recording or
playing. Nor can you record while in this page.
So that the tuner can detect the pitch accurately,
effects will be automatically turned off while this
page is displayed.
To check the pitch of an already-recorded sound
To check the pitch of a desired track, set "SelectSource" to
"Track," and select the track number in the field located
at the right. Move to the time location at which you want
to check the pitch, and press the [PLAY] key to play back.
The note name and pitch will be detected.

"Assign audio inputs to the mixer" (→p.36).
If you wish to create a new song and record into it,
refer to "1. Creating a new song" (→p.35). Make sure
that the [RHSL] key is Off. (→p.135)
1. Check the recording mode.
Access the [RECORD] "RecMode" tab page.
Set "Select RecMode" to "Input" (i.e., the audio input

Use the [CHANNEL] fader to set the recording level.
Press the [METER/TRACK VIEW] key.
Press the " " button to select "PostFaderLev," and
press the "OK" button.
Gradually raise the [CHANNEL] fader, and the level
meter of the input channel will change according to
the input. Raise the level as far as possible without
allowing the level bar to reach "CLP."
