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).
