Now
you can go from first inspiration to finished audio CD, all
inside the easy-to-use D1600mkII. This affordable and portable
16-track digital studio is a complete package, combining state-of-the-art
technology, USB connectivity, a 40 GB hard drive and a new
16x CD-RW burner featuring "Disk At Once."
State
of the art
Korg digital recording studios are acclaimed for their superior
audio quality and unparalleled ease of use. The D1600mkII
provides uncompressed 24 bit, 44.1 kHz high-quality recording
and playback, providing full fidelity with a wide dynamic
range that captures every sonic detail.
Using the intuitive TouchView Graphic Interface, you can instantly
access all of the D1600mkIIís amazing features, bypassing
pages of menus and saving you time.
High-level
performance
The D1600mkII features a 24 channel, 8 bus digital mixer with
sixteen 60 mm faders, which let you make smooth, precise level
adjustments. With the sixteen faders and pan knobs, the D1600mkII
allows you to do your mix in real time, without the hassle
of multiple fader groups. A variety of audio sources can be
connected directly, ranging from mic level to a +16 dBu level,
with four XLR inputs, balanced TRS jacks and a dedicated guitar
input jack right on the front panel. For increased connectivity,
the D1600mkII provides 24-bit optical S/PDIF digital IN/OUT,
and MIDI IN and OUT.
The D1600mkIIís recorder section provides eight virtual tracks
for each of its sixteen tracks, so you can literally record
up to 128 tracks (16 x 8 virtual tracks) for each song!
Serious
EQ and effects
Each analog input and mixer channel has its own high and low
shelving EQ, plus adjustable-frequency mid EQ. The D1600mkII
has separate EQs for the inputs and the mixer, assuring that
the EQ settings for recording remain distinct from those set
for playback.
The effects section of the D1600mkII consists of multiple
effects processors, providing 192 preset and 192 user effect
programs. In every song, you can assign up to 8 insert effects,
plus 2 masters and a final processing effect.
Mix
Automation and sophisticated editing
Mixer settings such as fader, EQ, pan, and effects can be
stored in a scene, and up to 100 scenes can be stored for
each song. D1600mkII mixer data, such as fade and pan, can
be transmitted and received via MIDI.
Since this recorder is fully digital, you can easily edit
and arrange your songs with operations such as copy, insert,
and paste. You can also set four Locate points and up to 100
Mark points per song for instant navigation. An assortment
of edit tools can help you polish your tracks even further:
you can swap audio regions ñ or all data in tracks ñ with
other tracks, plus you can Reverse, Optimize, Normalize, Fade
In or Out, or Expand/Compress track data. The Undo and Redo
functions give you up to 99 levels of undo.
Internal
hard drive with USB access
Housed inside the D1600mkII is a large 40 GB hard drive, providing
a whopping 125 hours of recording time (at 16 bit recording,
one track). Two GB of hard drive space (FAT 16 format) is
automatically allocated as a USB drive that can be accessed
from both the D1600mkII and directly from a computer. By saving
song data or .WAV files in this area, you can easily backup
or restore song data, import or export .WAV files, or even
load system data. This makes it easy to move your songs into
computer-based applications, and to even email song files
via the Internet.
Enhanced
CD functions
The D1600mkII also includes an 16x CD-RW drive (10x re-write),
which can be used to backup/restore data, to create multiple
audio CDs, even to playback and record directly from an audio
CD. The new "Disk At Once" feature allows you to
arrange your songs and burn them to CD in a single pass.
