Channel fader or EQ does not work

Fader does not work

During playback, the channel faders whose [TRACK STATUS] is REC are used to adjust the input level; the playback level is fixed at unity.

If you set [TRACK STATUS] to PLAY, you will be able to adjust the playback level.

When pairing is on, the even-numbered faders of channels 1–6 will not function.

The audio level of paired channels is controlled by the fader of the odd-numbered channel at the left.

If you switch pairing off after channels were paired, or if you recall a scene, the audio level of a channel may not match the position of the fader.

Raise or lower the fader so that it matches the actual vol- ume level.

EQ does not work

The input can be adjusted by the Input EQ; the Channel EQ will not affect the input.

Adjust the input EQ in the [INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] “InEq1–4” tab page.

The playback can be adjusted by the Channel EQ; the Input EQ will not affect the playback.

Adjust the channel EQ in the [EQ] “Eq1–4,” “Eq5–8,” or “Eq9–12” tab page.

The Input EQ cannot be applied to the digital input or rhythm. Input EQ can be used only on the analog input.

Can’t record

The D1200’s [CHANNEL] fader may be lowered. (When the [BOUNCE] “RecMode” tab page “SelectRec- Mode” setting is at “Input.”)

The D1200’s [MASTER] fader may be lowered.

(When the [BOUNCE] “RecMode” tab page “SelectRec- Mode” setting is at “Bounce.”)

Is [TRACK STATUS] set to REC for the recording-destination track?

Is there enough space on the drive?

Set the counter display to “FreeTime,” and check the available recording time. (→ p.32, 84)

Increase the free space on the song drive by deleting un-

wanted songs or songs you have already backed up. (→ p.68, 102)

Is the input source you want to record assigned to a mixer channel?

In the [INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] “Ch1–6” or “Ch7–12”

tab page, assign the input source to a mixer channel. (→ p.35)

Is the recording mode (“Select RecMode”) appropriate? (→ p.53, 92)

Can’t use digital input

If you want to use digital input, go to the [INPUT/OUT- PUT/SOLO] “Ch1–6” or “Ch7–12” tab page and turn the “DigiIn” button “On,” and assign the digital input to the input of the desired channel. (→ p.37)

Is the sampling rate of the digital input supported?

Sampling rates of 96 kHz are not supported.

The input or recorded sound is noisy or distorted

Is the [TRIM] knob set appropriately? The sound will be distorted if [TRIM] is set too high, and noisy if it is set too low.

In the [METER/TRACK VIEW] page set “Select Display- Mode” to “PreFaderLev,” and adjust the [TRIM] knobs of the [INPUT 1/GUITAR IN]–[INPUT 4] jacks as high as possible without allowing the level meter to reach the “CLP” indicator.

If the effect input or output is still distorted, make the following adjustments.

Input

Insert effect: While you watch the meters in the [INSERT EFFECT] “InsEff1”–“Ins5–8” tab page, use the [TRIM] knob to adjust the input volume so that “CLIP” does not light.

Master effect: While you watch the meters in the [MAS- TER EFFECT/AUX SEND] “EffSnd1” or “EffSnd2” tab page, adjust the send volume so that “CLIP” does not light.

Final effect: While you watch the meters in the [FINAL EFFECT] “FinalEff” tab page, adjust the volume of each channel so that “CLP” does not light.

Output

Insert effect: Adjust the effect parameters or [TRIM], and listen for any distortion.

Master/final effect: While you watch the meters in the [MASTER EFFECT/AUX SEND] “EffSne1,” “EffSnd2,” or “FinalEff” tab page, adjust the effect parameters so that “CLP” does not light.

If EQ causes distortion, make the following adjustments.

Adjust the gain of the input EQ for an analog input, or

adjust the gain of the channel EQ for playback. (→ p.38)

Effects do not apply

You may have selected effect program number 00.

Set “EffectNumber” to other than “000” (=NO EFFECT).

Insert effects do not apply

Digital input may be enabled.

Insert effects cannot be used if “DigiIn” is turned “On” in the [INPUT/OUTPUT/SOLO] “Ch1–6” or “Ch7–12” tab page. Turn this setting “Off.”

Is the effect inserted at the appropriate location?

In the [INSERT EFFECT] “InsAss” tab page, set “Assign” to “In” if you want to apply the effect to the input sound,

or to “Trk” if you want to apply the effect to the play- back. (→ p.42, 85)

Can’t use the expression pedal or MIDI to control an insert effect

In the [SYSTEM/USB] “Control” tab page, has a valid effect been selected for “Ass(#)”?

Make sure that a valid effect is selected for “Select- EffType” in the [INSERT EFFECT] “InsAss” tab page. Example: “Ass(#)” may have been set to “InsEff3” even though “ SelectEffType” is set to “1in2out x2” (in which case only InsEff1 and InsEff2 can be used).
