Working With Virtual Tracks - Korg D16 Manual

Note: You can re-set IN and OUT points as many times as you like, while the song plays back. Each time
you do, the previous IN and OUT points will be overwritten. You can set the IN and OUT points "on-the-fly",
as above, and then be more precise in the Loop Wave mode.
Note: Loop Recording is used in conjunction with the Auto Punch function. For more information,
see the D16 owner's manual (page 72).
Note: Trigger Recording is used to initiate recording when the input exceeds a set threshold level.
See the D16 owner's manual (page 73) for more information.

Working with Virtual Tracks

The D16 features 8 Virtual tracks for every track - that's128 Virtual tracks per song! Virtual
tracks give you the benefit of being able to record several takes without overwriting any
previous takes. Then you can select from your favorite Virtual track(s) for playback,
bouncing or mixdown.

4. Connect a lo-impedance microphone to the D16 INPUT 1 XLR connector, and center the Track 1 PAN
