Step 3. Assign Audio Inputs To The Mixer; Analog Inputs - Korg D1600 Owner's Manual

Step 3. Assign audio inputs to the mixer

The D1600 provides eight channels of analog input and
one (two-channel) digital input jack. In order to record
the audio signals from these inputs, they must be
assigned to mixer channels. If the CDRW-2 CD-R/RW
drive option (sold separately) is installed, you can also
assign the signal from an audio CD to the mixer chan-
nels.
* The audio of the internal CD-R/RW drive is con-
nected as an analog signal.

In this section we will explain how to assign each type
of input source to mixer channels, and audition the
source.
The D1600, the input mixer channel numbers are
the same as the recording and playback track num-
bers. For example if you wish to record on track 8,
you must assign the audio signal to mixer channel
8.

1. Analog inputs

Use the connections and settings most applicable to
your situation.
• Connect a guitar to the [GUITAR IN] jack, and
assign it to mixer channel 8
• Connect a condenser mic audio input source to
[INPUT 2], and assign it to mixer channel 2.
• Connect a keyboard to the [INPUT 3] and [INPUT 4]
jacks, and assign them to mixer channels 9 and 10
If you are using stereo input, you should use adja-
cent inputs (1–2, 3–4), and input the signals to adja-
cent mixer channels.
Before you proceed, create a new song as described
in "1. Creating a new song" ( p.21).
