Korg D3200 owner manual Audio outputs from the mixer, Digital input, Sub input

1-2. Digital input

The D3200 lets you input and record digital sources from the S/P DIF inputs.

You can input a digital source only if its sampling frequency matches the sampling frequency of the currently selected song.

If you input a 24-bit signal into a 16-bit song, the sound you mon- itor will be 24-bit, but it will be converted to 16-bit data when it is recorded.

When making digital input settings for S/P DIF, you may hear noise due to synchronization difficulties. Please turn down the faders or turn down the volume of your monitor speakers before you adjust these settings.

Inputting the digital audio signal from a MD or DAT

Connecting the digital output of your external MD player to the S/P DIF IN jack, and assigning it to channels 1 and 2.

(1)Connect your MD player.

Lower the D3200’s MASTER fader, and use an optical digital cable to connect the digital output of your MD player to the S/P DIF IN jack.

(2)Specify the S/P DIF inputs as the digital audio source.

•Access the MIXER, CH INPUT/SubMixer, “Ch Assign” tab page.

(2)

•Click the channel 1 “SOURCE,” and click the buttons to select “L” (). You can also use the value dial or the +/– keys to make your selection.

In the same way, set channel 2 to “R” ().

(3)Assign the input audio to mixer channels 1 and 2.

•Turn the CH ON key on, and turn the channel 1 and 2 channel keys on (key lit).

•Turn the REC/PLAY key on, and set the channel 1 and 2 channel keys to Record (key lit red). At this time, CH 1 will be highlighted in the screen to indicate that it is record-enabled.

(4)Adjust the input level settings.

•Press the METER key to display the Meter/Track View screen.

•Click the Meter/Track Type button to display the Meter/Track Type dialog box.

•In “Select Level Meter Position,” select “CH-Input” as the level meter mode, and click the OK button (or press the panel YES key) to return to the previous screen.

•When you play back your MD player, the CH 1 and 2 level meters will move in response to the input.

(5)Check the audio.

•Set the channel 1 and 2 faders to unity gain (0 dB).

•Access the MIXER, SOLO/MONITOR, “Monitor” tab page.

•Select “Master LR,” and turn it on (highlighted).

•Gradually raise the MASTER fader and PHONES LEVEL knob or MONITOR LEVEL knob, and verify that you hear the sound from your headphones or your monitor system connected to the MONITOR OUT jacks.

1-3. Sub input

The audio sources from the INPUT 1–12 jacks can be sent to the sub-mixer and output directly to the master bus, inde- pendently of being input to the mixer.

Sub Mixer 1–12 corresponds to INPUT 1–12 jacks respectively.

Here are some ways in which you can use this:

•You can add external input sources to the recorded sounds that are playing back.

•You can apply external effects to the audio signal sent from the AUX jacks, and send the processed signal via the sub-mixer to the master bus.

Inputting audio to the INPUT 1 jack, assigning it to sub- mixer 1, and outputting the audio.

(1)Connect an audio signal to the INPUT 1 jack.

(2)Adjust the sub-mixer settings.

•Access the MIXER, CH INPUT/SubMixer, “SubMix1–4” tab page.

•Since you are inputting audio to the INPUT 1 jack, use the Sub Mixer 1 ON knob (Knob Matrix 10) to turn on.

(3)Check the input to the sub-mixer.

•In the same way as for normal mixer settings, use the Knob Matrix to adjust the level, pan, and EQ.

•Verify that you hear the input source through your headphones or monitor system.
