Sampling rate
Also called sampling frequency. The frequency at which
an analog input sound is converted into digital data. A
sampling rate of 48 kHz means that the analog level is
converted into digital form 48,000 times each second. The
higher the sampling rate, the broader the frequency
range that can be converted into digital data.
Sampling rate converter
A device that converts the sampling rate of a digital
audio signal. For example, this allows the playback from
a DAT recorder (48 kHz sampling rate) to be recorded
directly to CD or MD (44.1 kHz sampling rate).
Scene
A complete set of parameters for the mixer section. The
D32XD/D16XD can store 100 scenes for each song.
Scene memory
A function that stores a scene. A stored scene can be
recalled at any time to reproduce those mixer settings.
Scrub
A function that allows track data to be played by operat-
ing the value dial. Since the track is played back accord-
ing to the direction and speed with which the dial is
operated, this is a useful way to precisely identify a spe-
cific location.
Send
A signal that is sent to another circuit or device. The
D32XD/D16XD provides effect sends that are sent to
master effects 1 and 2, AUX sends that are sent to the
AUX OUT 1 and 2 jacks, and REC sends that are sent to
the recorder tracks. The D32XD adds AUX OUT 3 and 4.
Sequencer
An automatic playback device that plays back stored
MIDI data to control an electronic musical instrument
such as a synthesizer.
Slave
A device being controlled (e.g., via MIDI) by another
device, called the "master."
Solo
A function that lets you hear only the sound of a selected
channel during mixdown, etc.
Song
A unit of performance data. On the D32XD/D16XD, a
song contains thirty two (sixteen on the D16XD) tracks of
performance data, stereo master track data, mixer data,
and effect settings.
Synchronize
To cause two or more electronic devices (such as musical
instruments or recorders) to match their playback tempo
and link operations such as start or stop. The device that
controls the tempo etc. is called the "master," and the
device(s) that are being controlled are the "slaves."
System file
A set of data containing software to operate hardware.
New functionality can be added to a device by updating
the system file.
Tap tempo
A method of specifying the tempo by the interval at
which a key is pressed.
190
Tempo map
A set of events arranged by time, that specify a tempo,
time signature, and rhythm pattern in units of measures.
You can use the tempo map to switch tempo, time signa-
tures, and rhythm patterns at specified measures.
Tempo source
The source by which the tempo is determined. On the
D32XD/D16XD, you can choose one of three tempo
sources; Manual which lets you specify the tempo
directly, Tempo Map which uses the settings that you
programmed in the tempo map, or Tempo Track which
uses the tempo data recorded in the tempo track.
Tempo track
A memory area that records tap tempo data or MIDI
Clock data received from an external MIDI sequencer.
Threshold level
A specified value which causes some operation to occur
when it is exceeded by an input level.
Time code
Time information that is exchanged in order to synchro-
nize recorders, rhythm machines, and sequencers etc.
Track At Once
A method by which individual tracks can be written to a
CD one by one at different times, as long as free space
remains on the disc.
Track status
The current state of a track (e.g., recording or playing).
Track/trk/tr
Something that can record, store, and play back an indi-
vidual audio signal.
Trigger recording
A method by which recording is initiated when the input
exceeds a specified threshold level.
TRS phone jack
A 1/4" stereo phone jack with separate conductors for the
Tip, Ring, and Sleeve. In addition to conveying a stereo
signal, this type of jack is also used for balanced connec-
tions.
Unbalanced connection
A connection using a cable that contains two conductors;
one 'hot' (the signal) and the other 'ground'. It has the
disadvantage that hum noise can easily contaminate the
signal.
Undo
After executing an operation, the act of returning to the
state prior to execution.
Unity gain
To output an input signal at the same volume.
USB
Universal Serial Bus, a specification for connecting
peripherals devices to a computer.
Virtual track
Each channel track and the master track of the D32XD/
D16XD actually consists of eight separate areas called
"virtual tracks" that can each hold a separate perform-
ance. For each track, you can select one of its virtual
tracks for playback and recording.
