Sampling rate

Also called sampling frequency. The frequency at which an analog input sound is converted into digital data. A sampling rate of 48 kHz means that the analog level is converted into digital form 48,000 times each second. The higher the sampling rate, the broader the frequency range that can be converted into digital data.

Sampling rate converter

A device that converts the sampling rate of a digital audio signal. For example, this allows the playback from a DAT recorder (48 kHz sampling rate) to be recorded directly to CD or MD (44.1 kHz sampling rate).

Scene

A complete set of parameters for the mixer section. The D3200 can store 100 scenes for each song.

Scene memory

A function that stores a scene. A stored scene can be recalled at any time to reproduce those mixer settings.

Scrub

A function that allows track data to be played by operat- ing the value dial. Since the track is played back accord- ing to the direction and speed with which the dial is operated, this is a useful way to precisely identify a spe- cific location.

Send

A signal that is sent to another circuit or device. The D3200 provides effect sends that are sent to master effects 1 and 2, AUX sends that are sent to the AUX OUT 1 and 2 jacks, and REC sends that are sent to the recorder tracks.

Sequencer

An automatic playback device that plays back stored MIDI data to control an electronic musical instrument such as a synthesizer.

Shuffle effect

An effect that produces a “bouncy” rhythmic feel by adjusting the timing of triplets.

Slave

A device being controlled (e.g., via MIDI) by another device, called the “master.”

Solo

A function that lets you hear only the sound of a selected channel during mixdown, etc.

Song

A unit of performance data. On the D3200, a song con- tains sixteen tracks of performance data, stereo master track data, mixer data, and effect settings.

Synchronize

To cause two or more electronic devices (such as musical instruments or recorders) to match their playback tempo and link operations such as start or stop. The device that controls the tempo etc. is called the “master,” and the device(s) that are being controlled are the “slaves.”

System file

A set of data containing software to operate hardware. New functionality can be added to a device by updating the system file.

Tap tempo

A method of specifying the tempo by the interval at which a key is pressed.

Tempo map

A set of events arranged by time, that specify a tempo, time signature, and rhythm pattern in units of measures. You can use the tempo map to switch tempo, time signa- tures, and rhythm patterns at specified measures.

Tempo source

The source by which the tempo is determined. On the D3200, you can choose one of three tempo sources; Man- ual which lets you specify the tempo directly, Pattern Map which uses the settings that you programmed in the pattern map, or Tempo Track which uses the tempo data recorded in the tempo track.

Tempo track

A memory area that records tap tempo data or MIDI Clock data received from an external MIDI sequencer.

Threshold level

A specified value which causes some operation to occur when it is exceeded by an input level.

Time code

Time information that is exchanged in order to synchro- nize recorders, rhythm machines, and sequencers etc.

Track At Once

A method by which individual tracks can be written to a CD one by one at different times, as long as free space remains on the disc.

Track/trk/tr

Something that can record, store, and play back an indi- vidual audio signal.

Trigger recording

A method by which recording is initiated when the input level exceeds a specified threshold.

TRS phone jack

A 1/4" stereo phone jack with separate conductors for the Tip, Ring, and Sleeve. In addition to conveying a stereo signal, this type of jack is also used for balanced connec- tions.

UDF format

A packet writing format that writes individual files to storage media (such as CD-R or MO) in the same way as on a hard disk.

Unbalanced connection

A connection using a cable that contains two conductors; one ‘hot’ (the signal) and the other ‘ground’. It has the disadvantage that hum noise can easily contaminate the signal.

Undo

After executing an operation, the act of returning to the state prior to execution.

Unity gain

To output an input signal at the same volume.

USB

Universal Serial Bus, a specification for connecting peripherals devices to a computer.
