Korg D3200 owner manual Using insert effects, Using master effects, Using the final effect

1. Using insert effects

You use insert effects by inserting them into a mixer channel to process the sound of an input source or audio track.

A maximum of eight insert effects can be used simultaneous- ly, and these effect programs may have a total size of no more than 8. In other words, you must assign effect programs so that their total size stays within this limit.

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8

	Size-1		Size-2		Size-4

If you use a size-2 effect for insert effect 1, only six more insert ef- fects (3–8) will be available.

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
Size-2					Available

If you use a size-1 effect for insert effect 1, and a size-4 effect for insert effect 2, only three more insert effects (6–8) will be available.

Size-1			Size-4			Available

1-1. Applying insert effects during recording

You can apply an insert effect to an audio input source con- nected to the input jack, and record the sound processed by the effect.

For details on how to apply an insert effect on a channel in- put, refer to Quick Start. (→p.23)

1-2. Applying insert effects during playback

You can apply an insert effect to the playback of a previous- ly-recorded track.

For details on how to apply an insert effect to the track play- back, refer to Quick Start. (→p.28)

2. Using master effects

To use a master effect, adjust the send level of each channel to send some of its signal to the effect. The master effects are typically used to apply reverb or to make the overall mix richer and better balanced.

The D3200 provides two master effects (MstEFF1 and MstEFF2), and these can be used simultaneously. However if you use a size-4 effect, the available processing power of both master effects will be used, so only master effect 1 will be available.

Number of simultaneously usable master effects and their size

Master	Master
effect 1	effect 2
Effect program size (conceptual)
Size-2	Size-4
Example 1		Example 2
Assign a size-2 program		Assign a size-4 program
to master effect 1		to master effect 1
Master	Master	Master	Master
effect 1	effect 2	effect 1	effect 2
Size-2	Available	Size-4

To adjust the depth of the effect, adjust the send level from each channel.

AUX send is used when applying external effects.

You can select an effect program for the master effect in the EFFECT, “MstrEFF1”/“MstrEFF2” or the EFFECT, “EFFRouting” tab page.

For details on how to use the master effects, refer to Quick Start. (→p.29)

3. Using the final effect

The D3200 provides one stereo-in/stereo-out final effect, which is applied to the master bus.

The final effect is used mainly with a dynamics-type effect program (such as compression) to adjust the overall level for mastering.

You can select an effect program for the final effect in the EF- FECT, “FinalEFF” or the EFFECT, “EFFRouting” tab page.

For details on how to use the final effects, refer to Quick Start. (→p.31)
