Korg D3200 Sophisticated digital editing tools, Intuitive interface designed for ease-of-use

♦Powerful modeling effects featuring real-time control via the Knob Matrix

The built-in effects utilize Korg’s proprietary “” modeling technology to deliver precise and powerful modeling sounds.

You can use the sixteen real-time controllers of the Knob Matrix to edit effect parameters quickly and intuitively. The modeling effects include simulations of vacuum tube preamps, classic amps and cabinets from around the world, and mic simulators for vintage tube mics and modern studio condenser mics.

Introduction

♦Three independent effect systems provide eleven simultaneous effects

You can use up to a total of eleven effects, each with internal 56-bit processing: 8 insert effects, 2 master effects, and 1 final effect.

For each effect, you can select an effect program created using one of 52 different effect algorithms (combinations of basic effects).

The effect programs include 128 preset programs created by professional musicians and studio engineers, and 128 user effect programs that you can use to create, edit and store your own custom effect settings.

In addition, each song has 32 editable song effect programs.

You can also control effects in real time from an external MIDI controller or from an expression pedal (EXP-2, XVP-10: sold separately).

♦Sophisticated digital editing tools

Non-destructive editing functions (possible only on digital recorders) allow you to perform numerous edits without compromising the high audio quality. In addition to auto and manual punch-in/out, there are Undo and Redo functions that allow you to audition the “before” and “after” versions of any edit, before making it permanent. You can use Undo to retrace your steps through the sixteen most recent recording or editing operations! A total of twelve types of track editing operation are provided, including a convenient Time Expansion/Compression function that lets you match up phrases of differing tempo after recording, and a Normalize function that appropriately boosts the volume and increases the dynamic range of low-level recordings.

For each song you can assign one hundred markers (with names) and six locate points to keep track of (and instantly access) the locations of all your edits.

♦Intuitive interface designed for ease-of-use

The D3200 is designed for enhanced usability and ease of operation. Controllers such as the center- click ClickPoint™ and cursor keys can be used to quickly select parameters and tabs in the 320 × 240 pixel high-resolution LCD screen. The Knob Matrix is located below the high-resolution LCD screen, and allows you to edit parameter values quickly, in real time and on the fly.

♦Internal hard drive

A high-capacity hard disk drive is built-in, providing approximately three hours of recording time per GB (16-bit, 44.1 kHz, single track recording).

♦CD-R/RW drive for creating backup disk and audio CDs

You can use the CD drive to backup/restore song and effect data, import/export audio files, and create audio CDs. You can also place an audio CD in the drive and use the CD Player function to play it. You can create an audio CD either by writing songs individually using Track At Once; or by using the Album CD Project and Disc At Once functions.

♦USB connection lets you easily share files with your computer

The USB connector makes it easy to exchange data with your computer. You can connect the D3200 to your computer and partition a 2, 4, or 8 GB area of the D3200’s hard drive as a PC drive for shar- ing data.

What is ?

(Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System) is Korg’s proprietary technology for digitally recreating the numerous factors that produce and influence a sound, ranging from the sound-production mecha- nisms of acoustic instruments and electric/electronic musical instruments, to the resonances of an instrument body or speaker cabinet, the sound field in which the instrument is played, the propagation route of the sound, the elec- trical and acoustic response of mics and speakers, and the changes produced by vacuum tubes and transistors.
