Routing B - Korg D32XD Owner's Manual

4-2. Routing B

This lists the effect programs and used for inserts 9–24, and
their state.
In the case of a 96 kHz/24-bit song, insert effects 9–16 are
available; 17–24 cannot be used.
The number of simultaneously usable effects will differ depending
on the size of the effect programs, and on how they are assigned.
In this screen you can also select effect programs and edit
some of their parameters.
To select a program, use the value dial or press the Select
button in the screen and choose from a list of effect programs
by category.
You cannot use MIDI or pedals to control the parameters of insert
effects 9 through 24.

1. CH
Selects the channel to which each insert effect 9 through
24 will be applied.
2. Insert effect location
Selects whether each insert effect 9 through 24 will be
applied to the input (IN) or to the playback track (TR).
3. Insert EFF 9...24
Selects the program for each insert effect 9 through 24. A
maximum of sixteen different effects can be used.
The cells indicate the currently selected program number,
effect name, effect size icon, control icon (only if speci-
fied), and on/off icon.
The letter "E" is displayed at the beginning of the effect
number to indicate an effect that is being edited.
: Effect size icon
Indicates the DSP size of the effect.
/ : On/off icon
Indicates the on (enabled) or off (disabled) status of
the effect.
For the possible combinations and how they will operate,
refer to "Insert effects that can be used simultaneously."
Due to mixer input/output considerations, insert effect 24 (in-
sert effect 16 if you're running at 96 kHz) cannot use a stereo
program.
4. DSP Power indicator
This shows the DSP Power level. This will indicate 0% if
no DSP Power at all is being used, or 100% if all of the
DSP Power is being used.
5. Restrct (Restructure)
This button frees up the DSP power of "dead effects" that
are in an unusable state due to their assignments. An
effect that is in an unusable state is indicated by the dead
icon " ".
6. Select
Choose the effect you want to use, and then press this
button to display the Select EFF Category dialog box.
Choose the desired category, and use the Select EFF Pro-
gram dialog box to select the effect that you want to use.

Insert effects that can be used simultaneously
The effect programs used by the D32XD's effects are classi-
fied as being different "sizes" according to the amount of
DSP processing power they consume.
Effect programs of a type for which you can use up to sixteen
of them as Routing B insert effects are called "size-one" ef-
fect programs. Relative to these, other effect programs are
"size-two" and others are "size-four."
The size of an effect program is shown by the icon at the right
of the effect name.
One "size" corresponds to one of the on/off icons in each ef-
fect cell.
In the case of a 44.1 kHz/48 kHz song, a maximum of sixteen
"sizes" worth of effects can be used simultaneously.
In the case of a 96 kHz/24-bit song, a maximum of eight "siz-
es" worth of effects can be used simultaneously, due to the
increased amount of calculating power that must be con-
sumed for effect processing.
The available effect processing power for Routing A and B is inde-
pendent; for each of these, you can use "sixteen sizes worth" of ef-
fect programs.
Techniques for assigning insert effects
On the D32XD, lower-numbered effects will be given higher
priority for being turned on. This means that depending on
how programs are assigned, you may need to use the Restrct
button or the On/Off buttons to make adjustments while
watching the DSP Power indicator, in order to make the best
use of the available effects.
To cancel an effect, cancel its channel assignment, and also select
NO EFFECT as the effect.
Using the Restrct button
First assign a size-one effect to insert effect 9, and a size-
two effect to insert effect 10.
Next, let's suppose that you assign a size-two program to
insert effect 9.
When you do so, insert effect 10 (whose priority is lower)
will be masked by effect 9; you will unable to turn insert
effect 10 off, and insert effect 11 will be unavailable.
In this state, insert effect 10 is a "dead effect." The on/off
icon of the effect will change to the dead effect icon "
In this case you can press the Restrct button to release the
dead effect so that insert effect 11 will again be available,
and the wasted DSP power will be recovered.
