Audio Input Settings And Recording Source Selection - Korg NAUTILUS 61 AT Operation Manual

Audio input settings and recording source selection

On the Audio Input tab page of the Home-Sample page, you
can select the audio source to record, and operate the
play/mute, solo, pan and volume controls when recording.
Use Global Setting
You can configure the audio inputs separately for each Song,
if desired. Alternatively, you can use the Global setting, as
made on the GLOBAL > Basic Setup– Audio page.
If this is left unchecked, the Audio Input (Input 1, 2 and USB
1, 2) settings that are configured on the SEQUENCER >
Home– Sampling:Audio Input page will be enabled.
Audio Input settings
Just as in PROGRAM and COMBINATION modes,
SEQUENCER mode includes a mixer for the audio inputs,
including analog, and USB. You can use this to mix and
process the inputs prior to recording, if you like. For
instance, you can mix several inputs together and send them
to the same REC bus, or process an input through effects and
then record the result.
As an alternative, you can ignore the mixer settings and just
record directly from the inputs.
Input 1 & 2 are the analog audio inputs from the INPUT 1
& 2 jacks. Turn the Audio In button on to enable the INPUT
1/2 jacks.
Press the Setup button of Audio In to display the Analog
Input Setup dialog box. Switch "Input Select" to "Mic" or
"Line" according to the device that is connected, and adjust
the Analog Input Gain.
For more information, see "Analog Audio Inputs" on page 5.
USB 1 & 2 are the left and right channels of the USB audio
input. For more information, see "USB" on page 5.
Bus Select
This specifies the output bus for each audio signal.
Off: The external audio input signal will not be sent to any
bus. However, you can still record the external audio signal
directly by using the Home– Mixer page Audio Track REC
Source setting to choose an external input (Audio Input 1/2,
USB 1/2) for recording.
L/R: The external audio input signal will be sent to the L/R
bus. Choose this when you want other signals such the
NAUTILUS' internal tone generator to be recorded along
with an external audio source. Set REC Source to L/R.
Audio recording Audio input settings and recording source selection
IFX1...12: The external audio input signal will be sent to
the IFX1–12 bus. Choose this when you want to apply an
insert effect while recording. Set REC Source to match the
post-IFX Bus Select setting.
1...4: The external audio input signal will be sent in mono to
the selected individual output.
1/2 and 3/4: The external audio input signal will be sent via
Pan in stereo to Individual 1/2 or 3 /4. Set REC Source to
the corresponding INDIV. setting.
Be aware that if you change Bus Select from Off to L/R
or IFX, the volume level from AUDIO OUT L/MONO
and R jacks or from the headphone jack may increase
abruptly. Please use caution.
FX Ctrl Bus
This sends the external audio input signal to the FX Control
bus (stereo two-channel (FX Ctrl1, 2)). For more
information, see "FX Control Buses" on page 737 of the PG.
REC Bus
This sends the external audio input signal to the REC buses
(four mono channels: 1, 2, 3, 4).
The REC buses are dedicated internal recording buses that
you can use for recording or sampling audio tracks.
Recording becomes possible if you choose a REC bus as the
"Source Bus." For example, you can use the REC buses if
you want to record only an audio input source that is being
played along with the song being output from the L/R bus
(i.e., record the input source, but not the song playback). You
can also mix several audio inputs to the REC buses, or mix
the direct signal from audio inputs to REC buses along with
post-IFX sound and record the result.
Off: The signal will not be output to the REC buses.
Normally you will leave this Off.
1, 2, 3, 4: The external audio input signal will be sent to the
specified REC bus. The Pan setting is ignored, and the
signal is sent in monaural.
1/2, 3/4: The external audio signal will be output to the REC
buses in stereo. According to the Pan setting, it will be sent
in stereo to buses 1 and 2, or 3 and 4.
Send1, Send2
These specify the level at which the external audio input
signal will be sent to the master effects.
Send1 sends the signal to master effect 1.
Send2 sends the signal to master effect 2.
If Bus Select is set to IFX1–12, the send levels to the master
effects are specified by the Send1 and Send2 settings that
follow IFX1–12.
Mute On/Off
Mutes the external audio signal that is being inputted.
Solo On/Off
Solos the external audio signal that is being inputted.
Sound will be output only from channels whose Solo is On.
Other channels will be muted. Solo operation includes both
MIDI tracks and audio tracks.
