Features

The D16 is a 16 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). It contains a 16 track recorder, a 24-channel 8-bus mixer, and effects. When using 16 bit recording/playback: 8 tracks can be recorded simultaneously, and 16 tracks can be played back simultaneously. When using 24 bit recording/playback: 4 tracks can be recorded simultaneously, and 8 tracks can be played back simultaneously. From recording to effect processing to mixing down to CD-R/RW (a CD-R/RW drive is required), DAT recorder or MIXDOWN, all processing is performed completely in the digital domain. A 2.1 GB hard disk is built-in, allowing a total of up to 6.5 hours of recording (when recording one track at 16 bits). A maximum of 100 songs 16 tracks 8 virtual tracks can be recorded, for a total maximum of 12,800 tracks of data. All analog inputs in the mixer section use high-performance balanced preamps to take full advantage of the audio quality of full-digital processing. Dedicated XLR input and guitar input jacks are provided, and support a range from mic level to +16 dBu (beyond pro audio level) so that virtually any audio source can be connected. All phone jack inputs use TRS balanced jacks to support balanced input. Of course, unbalanced input is also supported. The D16 has a built-in mic that lets you immediately record phrases that come to mind. The S/P DIF digital input provides a sampling rate converter that automatically converts 48 kHz or 32 kHz sources to 44.1 kHz. Each analog input/mixer channel provides high EQ, mid EQ, and low EQ. The mid EQ has an adjustable cutoff frequency. Since separate EQ is provided for the inputs and the mixer, you will never have the problem of unintentional double EQ that can occur on MTR systems with an analog mixer, when the EQ settings used during recording are re-applied during playback. A maximum of eight insert effects can be used on the analog inputs/mixer channels. Two master effects accept sends from each channel. And lastly, a dedicated nal effect can be applied to the master outputs. Insert effects and master effects can be selected from 128/32/32
The Scrub function lets you audition the recorded state of each track just as if you were using an openreel tape recorder, making it easy to nd the precise beginning of a desired phrase, etc. The Locate Point (four locations per song) and Mark Point (100 locations per song) memory functions allow you to memorize points for instant recall, such as divisions in the song structure. You can assign a name to each mark. The D16 provides a Program Playback function similar to that found on a CD or MD, so that you can playback multiple songs in a specied order. This function can also be used to produce your own album that can be recorded directly to MD or DAT etc. You can connect a CD-R/RW drive and produce your own original albums (a CD-R/RW drive is required). Be aware that some audio CD players are unable to play back CD-R/RW discs. When recording and editing songs or phrases from a record or CD, you can tap along to the tempo to match the tempo. You can also create a tempo map, or record MIDI Clock data from an external device. The D16 can be synchronized to a sequencer or rhythm machine etc. that supports MIDI Clock, MTC, or MMC. Major types of connectors such as SCSI and S/P DIF digital interface etc. are standard, allowing immediate connection to external devices. The SCSI connector allows recording/playback or data backup on an external hard disk or removable disk etc. The S/P DIF connectors allow audio data to be digitally recorded from an external digital device such as a CD or MD, or a song you create to be mixed down to DAT or MD via direct digital output. The AUX OUT jack allows an external effect to be connected. The D16 features the TouchView system that allows you perform operations by directly touching the LCD screen, making cursor movements easy. A fourdirectional cursor key is also provided to allow traditional operation. The D16 is compact and lightweight, and can be easily carried into the studio or anywhere else.

When shipped from the factory, the D16 contains several demo songs. Heres how to listen to these demo songs. 1 Set the [CHANNEL] faders of the D16 to the 0 position, and the [MASTER] fader to. 2 Select the song that you wish to play. For details on selecting a song, refer to 3. Selecting an existing song (p.14). 3 Make the [TRACK STATUS] key LED of each track light green. If any are lit with a different color, or are dark, press the key to select green (PLAY).
4 Press the [PLAY] key to begin playback.
5 Gradually raise the [MASTER] fader to adjust the volume level. While the song plays, you can try adjusting the [CHANNEL] faders, [PAN] knobs, EQ, the send amount to the master effects, or selecting different programs for the insert effects or master effects to hear the result. 6 When the demo song nishes playing, press the [STOP] key to stop playback.

3. Selecting an existing song
4 Press the OK button. A song named NewSong will be created for the song number that follows the last existing song. To delete a song, refer to p.61. Selecting (creating) a new song is different than selecting an existing song. Heres how to select an existing song. (For a new song, refer to 1. Creating a new song.) There are three ways to select an existing song.

2. Naming a song

We recommend that you assign a name to your new song, to distinguish it from other songs. If you wish to change the name of a song, you must rst select that song (3. Selecting an existing song). 1 Select the [SONG] SelSong tab page. Press the [SONG] key, and then the SelSong tab.
[STOP] key + [FF] key, [STOP] key + [REW] key
Use this method to select the previous or next numbered song in the same drive. To select the next-numbered song, hold down the [STOP] key and press the [FF] key. To select the previous-numbered song, hold down the [STOP] key and press the [REW] key. If you are at the beginning of the song (000:00.000 etc.), you will move to the previous-numbered song.

You can use the CopySong command to copy the currently selected song, or the CopyAllSongs command to copy all songs of the currently selected drive. For the copy procedure, refer to CopySong (p.61) or CopyAllSongs (p.61). To restore a copied song to the internal hard disk, select the copied song on the external hard disk as the copy source, and select the internal hard disk as the copy destination. Then execute CopySong or CopyAllSongs. Undo is not available for these commands. If a disk is being used for the rst time, it must be initialized/formatted. (p.47, 48)

Backup/Restore

Backup
You can use the Backup1Song command to back up the currently selected song, the BackupAllSongs command to back up all songs of the currently selected drive, or the BackupUserData command to back up the current user effect settings. The user effect settings will always be backed up when you execute the Backup1Song command or the BackupAllSongs command. Be aware that the backup commands will always overwrite the entire backup destination drive. It is not necessary to format the disk. If the amount of data to be backed up will not t on a single disk, making it necessary to use multiple volumes of media, you must use media of the same capacity.
The songs in the save destination are not erased Song data exceeding the disk capacity cannot be saved Songs can be saved on hard disk or removable disk Initialization/formatting is necessary when using a disk for the rst time Effect user data cannot be saved
When saving a song to an external removable disk, you can use either Copy or Backup. Refer to the above table and choose the most suitable method for your needs. If the song to be saved is larger than the disk capacity, use the Backup operation.
If you use Copy to save a song, and then subsequently modify and re-save the user effect settings

Step 12. Song saving

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 specic individual song from the songs that were backed up by BackupAllSongs. Backup and restore commands are performed in the [SYSTEM] BU/Rst tab page. For the procedure, refer to p.50.

A better understanding of the D16 Insert Effect Routing
There are four configurations available in the Select Effect Type menu: 1in2outx2: Primarily Guitar and Bass Chains of 3-5 effects each - For Insert Effect assignment as you record ONLY - good for mono-in / stereo-out sources 2in2outx2: Great for keyboards and stereo-in / stereo-out instruments 1in1outx4: The default setting, and the one you'll use in the following exercise. Good to use for fixed panning sources like rhythm guitar - selecting this configuration lets you select from four mono Insert Effects to be used in the song. 1in1outx8: The largest configuration of multiple effect choices - use this one when you need up to eight mono effects in a song - ideal for fixed pan sources that need effect isolation - like drums.
Although you won't be changing the Effect Type configuration right now, its good to know when and where to apply the four types. 1in1outx4 is the default setup in a new song, as indicated in the display

View the current Master Effects and Send Levels:
1. Press the MASTER EFFECT / AUX key, then press the MstEff1 tab in the display - note that Master Effect M009 RV4: BrightPlate has already been assigned - also note the RetLev (return level) and RetBal (return balance) "knobs" and the current settings in the display. 2. 3. Press the EffSnd1 tab in the display, and view the channel send levels ("knobs") to this effect. Press the MstEff2 tab in the display (M021 DL6:AutoPanDelay), then press the EffSnd2 tab to view the send levels to this effect.
Enable Scene Memory and disable Loop Playback:
1. Press the SCENE key, then press to highlight the SceneRead:Off button in the display - to enable Scene Memory. 2. Press the LOOP key, then press to highlight to Loop:On button in the display - to disable Loop Playback.
Enable Channel Pairing to control effect send levels:
1. 2. Press the Channel Pairing (heart) icon in the upper-right of the display, then press Send. Press the button in the display, then press the OK button to set Channel Pairing for the Track 1 and
2 send levels. Adjusting Track 1's send level in the following steps will simultaneously-control the send level for Track 2.
Work with the send levels:
1. 2. 3. Press the PLAY key, then press the MASTER EFFECT / AUX key. Press the MstEff1 tab, then press the EffSnd1 tab. Work with the mix: Lower the Track 3-16 Channel faders (or use the SOLO function) to isolate the drums on Tracks 1 and 2, then adjust the Master Effect1 send levels for the drums - press the Send1 "knob" in the display (indicated in the upper-left when you press a "knob") and rotate the DIAL to increase / decrease the send levels for Tracks 1 and 2. 4. Press the STOP key.
Note: Channel Pairing can be used with adjacent odd / even-numbered channels to simultaneouslycontrol Track Status, EQ, Effect and Aux send, Pan and Faders. When enabled, the odd-numbered channel will control both channels. See the D16 owner's manual (pg. 26) for more information.
Note: When Scene Memory is enabled, the originally stored send levels will be recalled each time you restart the song. Disable Scene Memory if you want to spend more time working with various track send levels.

Additional suggestions:

Once you develop a new mix and send levels for your tracks, try storing a new Scene at the beginning of the song. Also try storing additional Scenes with new effect send levels, EQ, etc. at different locations, then playback the Song with the Scene Memory function enabled.
Working with the Final Effect
The Final Effect is an independent processor with 32 preset and 32 user effect programs available. Its at the end of the effect routing scheme in the D16, and is used for "mastering" and dynamics applications. During mixdown you can use a Final Effect to "polish" your mix as you master your work to external DAT, MD or CD. Like the Master Effects, the currently selected song includes an already assigned Final Effect.

Note: If desired, apply an insert effect to your source instrument (See the Working with Insert Effects section of this guide for more information). Otherwise, continue on with this exercise
Work with the TEMPO / RHYTHM function:
1. Press the TEMPO / RHYTHM key. Youll hear the metronome, and the display will indicate the current settings. Manual is selected as the Tempo Source in the display, and the counter reads 001:01:000 (beats, measures and ticks) Make sure that the display reads like the example graphic below:
To adjust the metronome volume level, press to highlight Vol:XXX in the display, then rotate the DIAL. (You can change this level at any time, if needed)
Press to highlight Metro4 in the display. (Youre listening to the standard metronome click) Slowly-rotate the DIAL to the right, to audition some of the metronome and PCM rhythm patterns in memory. The majority of rhythm patterns are straight grooves that you can play along with. Note that some of the patterns are indicated as Intro, Fill, or Ending by an I, F or E preceding the pattern name.
Play your source instrument along with the rhythm pattern youve selected to use, and adjust the metronome volume and Channel Fader to set the mix.
To adjust the tempo press to highlight 120 in the display, then rotate the DIAL. The display will indicate the new tempo setting.
To adjust the time signature, press to highlight 04/04 in the display, then rotate the DIAL. The display will indicate the new time signature. Its suggested that you use a setting of 04/04 for this exercise.
Note: For time signatures 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8, all patterns can be selected. If you choose any other time signature, only the Metro or Hihat can be selected.
Tip: A complete listing of the rhythm patterns in memory, including length and original tempo can be found on page 114 in the D16 owners manual.
Note: You can mute and un-mute the metronome / rhythm pattern playback by pressing the Mute button in the upper-right of the display.
Record on Track 1 while listening to the metronome / rhythm pattern:
1. After youve selected the desired pattern and set your levels (make sure that Track 1 is record-enabled), press the REC key (the REC and PLAY keys LEDs will flash). 2. 3. 4. Press the Rhythm:Off button in the display. Youll hear the pattern play. Press the PLAY key and record your source instrument as the pattern plays. Press the STOP key to stop recording, then press the IN/LOC1 key to locate to the beginning of the song. 5. 6. Press the PLAY key to playback the song. The pattern will playback along with your recorded track. Press the STOP key to stop playback, then press the IN/LOC1 key to locate to the beginning of the song. 7. Press the Track 1 TRACK STATUS key two times, until its LED lights green (play status).
