Features • The D12 is a 12 track digital multi-track recorder (MTR) with full-digital processing (24 bit internal processing, 16/24 bit uncompressed recording and playback, 44.1 kHz sampling frequency). From recording to effect processing to mixing down to CD-R/RW (a CD-R/RW drive is required), all processing is performed completely in the digital domain. • It contains a 12 track recorder, a 16-channel 4-bus mixer, and effects.
• The Trigger Recording function allows recording to start automatically in response to an audio input, so that it’s easy to begin recording even when both hands are occupied in playing an instrument. You can also use a foot switch to start or stop recording. • The Scrub function lets you listen to the recorded sound of a track just as if you were manually moving the reels of an open-reel tape recorder – a great convenience when you need to find the exact beginning of a phrase.
