The
D3200 Digital Recording Studio provides up to 32 tracks of
simultaneous playback and up to 12 tracks of simultaneous
recording to support high channel-count projects -- such as
recording a live band.
The D3200 provides 16 and 24-bit
uncompressed 44.1 or 48 kHz recording and playback. Up to
32 tracks of simultaneous playback and up to 16 tracks of
simultaneous recording are possible (A maximum of 16 tracks
can be recorded simultaneously using 12 analog inputs, S/PDIF
inputs and the outputs from Session Drums. When using 24-bit
44.1/48 kHz recording, a maximum of 16 tracks can be played
back and a maximum of 12 tracks can be recorded simultaneously).
By taking advantage of the eight virtual tracks provided for
each track, you can record a total of up to 272 tracks (2
Thirty-two tracks plus a stereo master track for mixdown,
all with 8 virtual tracks). In the 24-bit mode, the digital
data passing through the fader and EQ is recorded onto the
internal hard drive as 32-bit data. A 40 GB hard disk is standard,
allowing approximately 119 hours of recording at 16-bit resolution
on one track. The internal processor uses 64-bit precision.
Create drum tracks quickly
and easily with the D3200's totally new, built-in Session
Drums feature. Using KORG's Knob Matrix, simply twist the
Group and Session knobs to choose the overall musical style,
and use the Variation knob to select a pattern appropriate
for your song. Breathe new life into your drum tracks by tweaking
the Shuffle and Humanize knobs to produce subtle variations
in the timing, accent, feel and volume of each drum hit. You
can even customize the rhythm sounds themselves.
With a comprehensive suite
of editing functions, you can perform advanced and non-destructive
track editing. In addition to auto and manual punch-in/out,
the D3200 provides editing functions such as copy, erase,
reverse, normalize and fade. Sophisticated editing functions
such as time expansion/compression are also supported. In
addition, a "learning" noise reduction feature removes
unwanted ambient noise without impairing the original sound,
further improving the quality of your sound. Undo/Redo allows
up to sixteen prior recording and editing operations to be
undone, letting you continue editing until you are satisfied.
Four locate points allow pinpoint editing of your song.
The D3200 can record up to
twelve tracks at once, and there are plenty of inputs to go
around. An even dozen of 1/4" balanced inputs are teamed
with eight XLR inputs jacks featuring mic preamps and +48V
phantom power. Each of the eight phantom power supplies can
be switched on/off independently, so you can mix and match
your favorite condenser and dynamic mics to get the job done.
At home in the digital world, the D3200 also features optical
S/PDIF ins and outs. For those private moments of inspiration,
there's also a dedicated guitar jack so you can start recording
immediately with a minimum of preparation.
The mixer provides a total
of 44 input channels (32 recorder channels and 12 sub-mixer
channels). Recorder channels 1-24 are equipped with a versatile
four-band EQ. Channels 25-32 provide a two-band shelving EQ,
as does each of the 12 sub-mixer channels. For complete control
of your sound, the master track features a separate four-band
fully parametric EQ. Recording input channels and track playback
channels feature separate EQs, so there's no danger of applying
duplicate EQ settings, as on some lesser recorders. This mixer
offers a total of twelve buses (including two effect sends),
giving you the flexibility to meet the needs of a wide range
of situations. Fader, EQ, pan, and effect settings can be
stored as a "scene," and up to 100 scenes can be
saved and automatically recalled for each song, providing
sophisticated automation. In addition, Dynamic Automation
records and plays back individual fader and pan movements
in real time. Mixer parameters can also be controlled via
MIDI.
The Knob Matrix provides 16
real-time control knobs laid out in a 4 x 4 arrangement that
can be used simultaneously to edit a variety of parameters
such as the Session Drums or the effect processors.
The 3-axis ClickPoint provides fingertip control that can
also be used as a jog/shuttle function when you're scrubbing
through audio. The cursor keys and other panel keys efficiently
access numerous shortcuts for the various modes.
The D3200's multiple effect
processors use 56-bit internal processing and include many
of the "REMS" technology modeling effects. A total
of eleven effects can be used at once; eight insert effects,
two master effects applied to the master sends of each channel,
and two final effects applied to the master L/R. You can instantly
select from 128 effect programs created from 52 different
effect algorithms. You can edit, create and store your own
effect programs in the 128 user locations shared by the entire
D3200, or in the 32 user effect program locations for each
song.
The D3200's built-in CD-RW
drive can be used to backup/restore songs and user data, to
import WAV files, or to create finished audio CDs. When creating
an audio CD, you can use the Album CD Project function to
easily create a production-ready CD that specifies the song
order and even the length of the gaps between songs. The internal
hard drive can be partitioned so you can work on multiple
album CD projects at once. The CD-RW can also be internally
routed to the mixer inputs and used as a CD player.
The D3200 automatically allocates
part of its internal hard disk as a PC (USB) drive in FAT32
format, with 2, 4, or 8 GB partitions possible. This area
can be used to import/export WAV data between the D3200 and
a computer DAW program via USB, and can also be used to load
system data. D3200 user data transferred to your PC can be
easily e-mailed or exchanged over the Internet. High-speed
USB 2.0 is supported, so even large amounts of data can be
transferred smoothly. In addition, back-up data created by
other Korg D-series models can also be loaded.
