Using An External Effect; Mixdown; Creating An Audio Cd - Korg D1600mkII Owner's Manual

7. Using an external effect

A send signal can be output from the [AUX OUT] jack,
and processed by an external effect. The output of the
external effect can then be returned to the [INPUT 1]–
[INPUT 8] jacks and sent to the desired channels or to the
master LR bus.
As an example, here's how the playback sound can be
sent to an external effect, and returned to the master LR
bus via the [INPUT 3] and [INPUT 4] jacks.
1. Connect your external effect processor.
Connect the [AUX OUT] jack of the D1600mkII to the
INPUT jack of your external effect processor, and
connect the OUTPUT jacks of the external effect
processor to the [INPUT 3] and [INPUT 4] jacks of the
D1600mkII.
2. Send the playback sound to the external effect.
Access the [MASTER EFFECT/AUX] "AuxSend" tab
page.
Select "Aux" for the channel(s) that you wish to send
to the external effect, and rotate the [VALUE] dial to
adjust the send amount.
3. Input the audio from the external effect processor.
Select the [INPUT/TUNER] "Ch1–8" or "Ch9–16" tab
page.
Press the "SubIn" button to access the dialog box.
Select the "In3–4" "Fader" icon, and turn the
[VALUE] dial to set the return level.
Use the "Balance" icon to adjust the return balance.

Mixdown

You can use mixer settings such as EQ, faders, and effects
to adjust the audio from each recorded track, and
combine the result into two tracks to create your own CD
or record it on an external two-channel recorder (DAT
recorder, MD recorder, cassette recorder etc.) to create a
finished song. This process is called mixdown.

1. Creating an audio CD

You can use the CD-R/RW drive to create an original CD
from songs you record on the D1600mkII.
In order to create an audio CD, the hard disk must
have free space equivalent to the size (the total of the
two channels) of the song you are creating.
For example if you want to create an audio CD of a
five-minute stereo song, the D1600mkII's hard disk
must have free space for at least five minutes of stereo
(ten minutes of monaural) recording. For details on
the free area of the hard disk, refer to "1. Select Time-
Disp Type" (→p.91).
To write a song to CD
1. Check the completed song.
Use the faders and knobs to adjust the volume and
panning of each track, and play back the song to
check it.
If you want to enable the scenes you stored, go to
the [SCENE] "ReadDel" tab page and turn
"SceneRead" on.
2. Bounce-record your song to two tracks.
Bounce the song to two tracks as described in "5.
Combining multiple tracks into two: Bounce"
(→p.42).
If the song you write to CD contains no silence at
the beginning ("zero time"), the beginning of the
song may drop out when you play back from the
CD. To avoid this, you can insert approximately
0.5 seconds of silence at the beginning of the
audio data you mixed down to tracks 1 and 2.
For details, refer to "Inserting blank data: Insert
Track" (→p.63).
3. Insert a disc into the CD-R/RW drive.
Use a blank disc or a disc that has not yet been
finalized.
Since CD-RW discs will not play in some audio
CD players, we recommend that you use CD-R
media.
