Protecting a song

You can protect a song so that it will not be accidentally over- written or deleted.

If the song is protected (protect On), you won’t be able to switch to Record by pressing the key located above the mas- ter fader or the channel keys when the REC/PLAY key is on. Nor will you be able to rewrite any of the parameters of that song.

When you protect a song, it will be saved automatically at that time.

(1)Select the song that you want to protect (→p.36).

(2)Press the SONG key, and then click the Protect button in the song page to access the ProtectSong dialog box. Verify the drive name and song number of the song that you want to protect.

The dialog box will close, and you will return to the song page.

Saving a song

Since the D3200 automatically saves song data and parame- ters when you perform the shut-down operation or when you select a song, it is not absolutely necessary for you to save manually.

However if the power should be interrupted by a power fail- ure or other accident, the data that has been recorded or ed- ited since the most recent power-on (or since a song was last selected) will be lost.

We recommend that you use this command to save the data periodically after recording or editing for an extended peri- od, or if you are using the D3200 in an environment where the power supply is unreliable.

•To save the song, hold down the SONG key and press the ENTER key located in the edit controller section of the panel.

1. Inputting audio to the mixer

The D3200 provides twelve channels of analog input and one optical digital input jack.

The audio signals coming from devices connected to these jacks can be assigned to the mixer channels and recorded. Audio from the internal drum pattern can also be assigned to the mixer channels.

Here’s how to assign each input to a mixer channel and check the audio signal.

1-1. Analog input

You can connect audio sources such as guitars, keyboards, or mics to the analog input jacks.

Inputting audio from a guitar

Connecting a guitar to the GUITAR IN jack and assigning it to mixer channel 1.

(1)Connect the guitar.

Lower the MASTER fader, and then connect the guitar to the GUITAR IN jack.

(2)Select INPUT 1 as the audio source.

•Access the MIXER, CH INPUT/SubMixer, “Ch Assign” tab page.

•Click the buttons to set the CH1 “SOURCE” to “1”. You can also use the value dial or the +/– keys to make your selection.

The GUITAR IN jack is shared with the INPUT 1 jack. Spec- ify its input channel and adjust its input level as INPUT 1.
