Step 3. Recording; Selecting The Input/Record Track; Analog Inputs - Korg D16 Owner's Manual

This section explains the basic recording procedures on
the D16. Use the recording method that is appropriate
for your purpose.
During recording, the audio signal flows in the follow-
ing order: input mixer channel
1. Selecting the input/record
track
The D16 has both analog and digital input jacks. In
order to record an external audio source, the audio
must be assigned to a mixer channel.
This section explains how input sources are assigned to
mixer channels so that you can audition them.
On the D16, the number of the mixer channel used
for input will be the same as the track number for
recording and playback. For example if you wish
to record on track 8, you would input the audio to
mixer channel 8.
