4. MIC SIMULATOR

When recording sound that is output from an acoustic instru- ment or a speaker, it is best to use a mic that takes advantage of the characteristics of the source.

When using the built-in condenser mic of the D4, you can simulate the mic that is most appropriate for the source being recorded.

VNTG.DY (VINTAGE DYNAMIC)

This simulates the warm and rich sound of a vintage dynamic mic, and is ideal for vocals.

1.SETTING .............[1...4]: Switches the location of the mic. (1: Close, 2: On, 3: Off, 4: Far)

2.TRIM .................. [0...10]: Adjusts the input level.

3.-----(BLANK)..................

4.-----(BLANK)..................

5.-----(BLANK)..................

When you select the “Close” or “On” setting, the proxim- ity effect will produce a boosted low range, so you will need to use “TRIM” to adjust the overall level.

MULTI.CN (MULTI CONDENSER)

This simulates a general-purpose studio condenser mic, and has a broad range from low to high frequencies that suits most instruments.

*The parameters are the same as “VNTG.DY.”

PERC.CN (PERCUSSION CONDENSER)

This simulates a small condenser mic designed for instru- ments, which has a distinctive high range and is ideal as an overhead mic for drums or for use with acoustic guitar.

*The parameters are the same as “VNTG.DY.”

WHALE.DY (WHALE DYNAMIC)

This simulates a mic characterized by clarity and a sense of volume, and is ideal for drum sounds.

* The parameters are the same as “VNTG.DY.”

Effect modules

VOCAL.CN (VOCAL CONDENSER)

This simulates a widely-used studio condenser mic, and is ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, and narrations.

*The parameters are the same as “VNTG.DY.”

VOCAL.TB (VOCAL TUBE)

This simulates a vintage tube mic, and is ideal for vocals.

*The parameters are the same as “VNTG.DY.”

B DRM.DY (BASS DRUM DYNAMIC)

This simulates a fairly large dynamic mic, and is suitable when you want to capture the sense of air movement felt with a close-miked bass drum.

* The parameters are the same as “VNTG.DY.”

MODULATION

1. MODULATION

CHORUS

ST CHRUS (STEREO CHORUS)

These effects give the sound depth and warmth by modulat- ing the delay time.

1.TIME ...................[1...10]: Adjusts the delay time, controlling the frequency range at which the effect will apply. Adjusting this toward 0 will cause the modulation to occur at a higher pitch.

2.-----(BLANK) .................

3.SPEED .......[0.1...10Hz]: Adjusts the speed at which the pitch is modulated.

4.DEPTH .............. [0...10]: Adjusts the depth at which the pitch is modulated.

5.MIX .................... [0...10]: Adjusts the amount of effect mixed into

the sound. 77
