Setting the parameter value The method of setting the parameter value will depend on the type of parameter.
Undo After recording or editing a track, you can execute Undo to return to the state before the data was recorded or edited. You can undo up to 99 previous operations. You can also use Redo to return the data to the state in which it was before you performed Undo. As an example, suppose that you have been using loop recording, and would like to select the best take. For details on loop recording, refer to p.72. 1 Press the [UNDO] key. The list will show the latest recording and previous recordings.
1. Connections If you will be monitoring through headphones, connect the 1/4" phone plug of your headphones to the [PHONES] jack. The diagram below shows a basic example of connections when using the D16 to record. Make the appropriate connections for your system, substituting your own equipment as necessary for the equipment shown here. The audio signal that is output from the [MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks and the [PHONE] jack is set in the [SOLO/MONITOR] “Monitor” tab page. (→p.
Connections for recording analog sources • Guitar, bass guitar ↔ [GUITAR IN] jack • Mic (XLR) ↔ [INPUT 1], [INPUT 2] jacks • Synthesizer etc. ↔ [INPUT 1]–[INPUT 8] jacks A guitar or bass guitar that is being sent through a compact effect device can be connected to [INPUT 1]–[INPUT 8]. When inputting in stereo, you should select two adjacent inputs (1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8) so that track editing can be performed more efficiently.
Before turning off the power, turn the volume of all devices down to the minimum position, and turn off the power switches beginning with the devices that are at the end of the audio signal chain. Never disconnect the AC/AC power supply until the power is completely off. Data may be destroyed if you do so. The audio that is recorded on the D16 and the mixer settings etc. are saved automatically when you select or change songs, or when you turn off the power.
Step 2. Creating or selecting a song Creating or selecting a song [VALUE] dial to select the desired characters. In order to record a new song, you must first create a new song on the D16. Here’s how to create a new song, assign a name to the song, and select a song. 1. Creating a new song 1 Select the [SONG] “SelSong” tab page. Press the [SONG] key, and then the “SelSong” tab. The buttons in the LCD screen have the following function. “Space” button: Select a blank (space).

Step 3. Recording This section explains the basic recording procedures on the D16. Use the recording method that is appropriate for your purpose. During recording, the audio signal flows in the following order: input → mixer channel → recorder. 1. Selecting the input/record track The D16 has both analog and digital input jacks. In order to record an external audio source, the audio must be assigned to a mixer channel.
The ch.1 level meter will move to show changes in the input. 7 Audition the audio signal. • Select the [SOLO/MONITOR] “Monitor” tab page. • Press the “MasterLR” button to turn it “On” (highlighted). • Gradually raise the [PHONES LEVEL] knob or the [MONITOR OUT LEVEL] knob, and listen to the audio signal in your headphones or monitor system. Assign the keyboard connected to [INPUT 3] and [INPUT 4] to mixer channels 9 and 10 Basic operation 5 Check the record mode and input level, and audition the sound.
Digital input The D16 allows digital input and recording via its S/P DIF connector. As an example, we will explain how audio from a CD player connected to the [S/P DIF IN] jack can be input to mixer channels 1 and 2. S/P DIF IN 2. Adjusting the record level, and recording Here’s how to record the audio sources that you assigned to mixer channels in “1. Selecting the input/ record track” (→p.16). If you wish to create a new song and record it, refer to “1. Creating a new song” (→p.14). Turn [RHSL] off.
The D16 has sixteen tracks, and each of these tracks has eight virtual tracks. When recording solo parts etc., you can record each take on a different virtual track, and choose the best performance later. Or when using bounce (ping-pong) recording, you can specify an unselected virtual track as the recording destination, so that you can mix down sixteen tracks to two tracks without erasing any of the original track data. (→p.21) Recorded track Selected track 1 Select a virtual track.
7 Press the [STOP] key to stop playback. After you have finished recording, move the current time to a point earlier than the beginning of the recording, and check the newly recorded material. Manual punch-in/out using a foot switch You can use a foot switch (separately sold option) to switch between recording and playback. This allows you to switch between playback and recording while you play an instrument, or when you are at a distance from the D16. 1 Connect a foot switch to the [FOOT SWITCH] jack.
• 14 tracks of audio and two external audio input sources can be recorded on the remaining two tracks. • 16 tracks of audio can be overwritten onto two of these tracks. • 16 tracks of audio can be recorded on two currently unselected virtual tracks. If you use a CD-R/RW drive to create an audio CD, the data of tracks 1 and 2 will be written to the disc, so you will need to combine the completed song onto tracks 1 and 2.
• Set the “BounceMode” to “16Tr→2Tr.” 4 Specify the currently selected tracks for recording. Set “RecordVirtualTrack” to “Current.” 5 Adjust the pan of the playback tracks. Press the [PLAY] button to playback, and use the [PAN] and [BALANCE] knobs to adjust the stereo position of channels 1–16. 6 Adjust the playback/recording levels. Use the [CHANNEL] fader to adjust the playback levels and input levels. Use the [MASTER] fader to adjust the recording level.

Using program playback 1 Select the [SONG] “PrgPlay” tab page. 2 Press the [PLAY] key to start playback. The songs will playback in the order of the list, starting from the first song in the program. During playback, you can press the [FF] key to advance to the next song.
Step 5. Changing the time location Here’s how you can change the time location within a song. Switching the counter display You can switch the units of the current time displayed by the counter. The following four displays can be selected. • ___, __, ___ “measures” , “beats” , “1/96th’s of a beat” • ___; __, ___ “minutes” ; “seconds” , “1/1000th’s of a second” • ___: __.__F “minutes” ; “seconds” . “1/30th’s of a second” • ___. __Free “minutes” , “seconds” (remaining recording time) The “___.
Adjusting the volume The input or recording/playback volume is adjusted by the [CHANNEL] faders. Raise or lower the faders to adjust the volume. (→p.86) The volume can be adjusted from silence (–∞) to unity gain (0 dB) to +12 dB gain. Normally, you should set the faders at unity gain (the position where the input signal is output at the same volume) and then lower the faders for any channels that are too loud, rather than raising the faders of channels that are too soft.
High EQ, Low EG • For the channel that you wish to adjust, select “High EQ Gain (H)” or “Low EQ Gain (L),” and rotate the [VALUE] dial to set the amount of gain. The value is displayed in the upper left of the screen. Mid EQ • For the channel that you wish to adjust, select “Mid EQ Cutoff Frequency (F),” and rotate the [VALUE] dial to set the cutoff frequency. The value is displayed in the upper left of the screen.
The values are displayed in the upper left. Basic operation Monitoring adjustments Here’s how to make settings for monitoring the sound from the D16. Normally, you will monitor the sound by connecting powered monitor speakers etc. to the [MONITOR OUT L/R] jacks, or by connecting headphones to the [PHONES] jack. Solo settings Selecting the signal to be monitored 1 Select the signal to be monitored. • Make your selection in the [SOLO/MONITOR] “Monitor” tab page. • Normally you will select “MasterLR.
Registering/recalling a scene The mixer settings you adjust can be registered as a scene, and scenes can be automatically recalled as time passes during playback. Scenes can also be recalled as general-purpose settings, and mixer settings you recalled can be copied to a different time location, or re-adjusted and then overwritten elsewhere. Up to 100 scenes can be registered in each song. The following contents can be registered as a scene.
Overview of the effects The D16 provides a maximum of eight insert effects that can be inserted into an analog input or mixer channel, two master effects that are applied to a send signal from each channel, and one final effect that is applied to the master LR output. All these effects are independent of each other. This means that you can use a maximum of eleven effect programs simultaneously.
1in1outx4 (mono-in/mono-out × 4) • While recording four vocals simultaneously, you could apply Exciter-Comp to voices that lack impact, and apply Limiter-P4EQ to loud voices as you record. 1in1outx8 (mono-in/mono-out × 8) • Comp, Limiter, Gate, or Expander could be applied to individual recorded tracks to adjust the dynamics, or Chorus, Phaser, or Delay could be applied. Other examples are shown below.
Master effects The D16 contains two master effects (MstEff1 and MstEff2) which can be used simultaneously. You can adjust the send amount from each channel to change the depth of the effect (→diagram on following page). Applying an insert effect to a track during playback How the master effects can be used Here’s how you can insert an insert effect into a mixer channel so that the effect is applied to the track playback. The master effects are used mainly for spatial processing (reverb etc.
Final effect One stereo-in stereo-out effect is provided as the final effect. It applies to the master LR output. Editing an effect You can edit (modify) the effect programs that are used as insert effects, master effects, and final effects. If you select a different “EffectNumber” or turn off the power without saving, the effect settings you edited will be lost. If you wish to keep your edited settings, you must save them after you are finished editing.
You can use an expression pedal or MIDI controller to control an insert effect in realtime. 7 Assign a name to the effect program that you edited. • Press the “Rename” button to access the “RenameEffect” dialog box. For the rename procedure, refer to “2. Naming a song” (→p.14). • After you have assigned a name, press the “OK” button. 8 Store the effect program. • If the D16 is playing, press the [STOP] key to stop playback. • Playback “Store” button to access the “StoreEffect” dialog box.
• Press the “Cntrl Icon” button to access the “ControlDevice” dialog box. Using an external effect A send signal can be output from the [AUX OUT] jack, and processed by an external effect. The output of the external effect can then be returned to the [INPUT 1]– [INPUT 8] jacks and sent to the desired channels or to the master LR bus. • Select “Param,” and rotate the [VALUE] dial to select the parameter that you wish to control.
You can use mixer settings such as EQ, faders, and effects to adjust the audio from each recorded track in order to create a finished song (→p.25, 29), and record the final result on a two-channel recorder (DAT recorder, MD recorder, cassette recorder etc.). This process is called mixdown. • Turn “Off” the “M (mute)” button for the connected input. • Press the “Fader” icon and rotate the [VALUE] dial to raise the value so that the audio signal will be input.
Step 9. Track editing On the D16, tracks can be edited in the following ways. For the procedures, refer to p.37, 53 and p.56. If there is little remaining free space on the hard disk, it may not be possible to perform track editing. You will need to create enough free space for track editing (the time between IN-OUT or TOEND). Copying track data: Copy Track The Copy Track command copies recorded track data from the specified region (IN–OUT) to another location (TO).
How the editing commands use the IN, OUT, TO, and END times Basic operation Copying an entire track/Copying to a V-track: Copy Whole Track This command copies an entire recorded track (from beginning to end) to a different entire track. IN OUT TO Copy Track • You can copy not only one track, but multiple tracks simultaneously.
Step 10. Song editing On the D16, songs can be edited in the following ways. Undo is not available for song editing. Copying a song: Copy Song Song editing procedure Here is the basic procedure for song editing operations. For actual examples, refer to p.61. This command copies the currently selected song to a song number in any drive. • You can use this to save a backup of your song on a different hard disk drive etc.
Playing rhythms Specifying and playing a rhythm ● Select the [TEMPO/RHYTHM] “SetUp” tab page. The settings described below are made in this page. When you enter this page, a rhythm will sound. To silence it, press the “Mute” button. ● Press “SelRhythm,” and rotate the [VALUE] dial to select the desired rhythm pattern. Recording your performance while you listen to the rhythm You can record your performance while listening to the built-in rhythm as a guide.
5 Check the record mode, input level, and audio. Refer to “Assign the guitar input from [GUITAR IN] to mixer channel 1,” steps 5, 6, and 7. (→p.16) After checking the settings, press the [STOP] key to stop. 6 Adjust the recording level, and record. Refer to “2. Adjusting the record level, and recording” (→p.18). Setting the tempo A song on the D16 can be controlled by the following tempo sources.
Tempo track The tempo track records MIDI clock data from an external MIDI sequencer etc., or tap tempo. Recording MIDI clock data from an external MIDI sequencer, and using it as the tempo track • Select the tempo in “Tempo,” the time signature in “Beat,” and the rhythm pattern in “Rhythm.” For tempo map “001” it is not possible to change “Meas.” • When you have finished making settings, press the “OK” button.
If MIDI clock messages are not being transmitted correctly from the MIDI sequencer, tempo recording may end prematurely. Recording tap tempo While playing back a song, you can press (tap) the [PLAY] key at the beginning of each measure or beat to record a tempo. Alternatively, you can use a foot switch (separately sold option) instead of the [PLAY] key. Tap tempo can be used to record the tempo after you have recorded a song.
A word about data There is always a remote possibility that the D16 will malfunction, causing errors in the data or loss of data. If the D16 malfunctions, recorded data or other types of data may be lost. Please copy or back up your important data on an external drive such as a hard disk or removable disk. that were used by that song, the modified effect settings will be used the next time you play the copied song, meaning that it will not sound the same.
Restore The Restore command will recall the backed-up data so that it can be used on the D16. When restoring data of all songs (“BackupAllSongs”) or one song (“Backup1Song”), you can select whether or not you wish to overwrite the current user effect data. It is also possible to restore a specific individual song from the songs that were backed up by “BackupAllSongs.” Backup and restore commands are performed in the [SYSTEM] “B–U/Rst” tab page.
