Step 3. Assign Audio Inputs To The Mixer; Analog Inputs - Korg D12 Owner's Manual

Step 3. Assign audio inputs to the mixer

The D12 provides four channels of analog input and
one (two-channel) digital input jack. In order to record
the audio signals from these inputs, they must be
assigned to mixer channels. If the CDRW-1 CD-R/RW
drive option (sold separately) is installed, you can also
assign the signal from an audio CD to the mixer chan-
nels.

In this section we will explain how to assign each type
of input source to mixer channels, and audition the
source.
The D12, the input mixer channel numbers are the
same as the recording and playback track num-
bers. For example if you wish to record on track 8,
you must assign the audio signal to mixer channel
8.
