Go from your initial idea to a
superb-sounding final mix burnt onto an audio CD using one piece of gear: the
new D1200 Digital Hard Disk Recording Studio - a sophisticated, portable
digital recording studio designed for guitarists and songwriters.
|
Ergonomically designed front
panel
Korg digital recording studios are known for their logical, easy-to-use
controls, and the D1200 hard disk recorder is no exception. The controls are
arranged to follow the recording process from start to finished CD. Even the
angle of the backlit 240 x 64 pixel LCD display can be adjusted for comfortable
viewing.

 |
All the right
connections
To ensure the highest audio quality, the Korg D1200 uses high-performance
balanced preamps on all analog inputs. Two XLR inputs provide high-quality mic
preamps and are equipped to deliver +48V phantom power. A dedicated guitar
input jack is also provided. The S/P DIF digital input automatically converts
incoming 48 kHz and 32 kHz data into 44.1 kHz
|

Full-featured mixer section
The D1200's 16-channel, 4-bus mixer section provides a separate three-band
EQ on each analog input and each playback channel: high and low shelving EQ,
and a mid-range peaking EQ with adjustable center frequency. The fader, EQ,
pan, and effect settings of the mixer section can be stored in one of 100 scene
memories.
High-performance recorder
The D1200 records and plays back either 16 or 24-bit 44.1 kHz audio data.
The D1200 uses no data compression, so the sound you put in is exactly the
sound you get back. A maximum of all 12 tracks can be played back
simultaneously and up to four tracks can be recorded simultaneously. Each track
contains eight virtual tracks, giving you a total of 96 tracks per song.
Abundant effects, including REMS Modeling
The D1200 provides three independent effect systems (44-bit internal
processing). Up to eight insert effects can be assigned to individual channels.
Two master effects provide polish to your mix, and the final effect can add the
best overall EQ, compression/limiting, etc. to the master L/R channels.
Combinations using up to five of the 98 available effect algorithms provide 128
insert, 32 master, and 32 final effects. You can edit any of these 192 preset
programs and save them to any of the 192 user program memories.

For the guitarist, bassist or singer/songwriter, the D1200
simplifies the initial set-up process. Just turn on the Modeling mode and
choose Guitar, Bass, or Mic. The D1200 will automatically route the effects to
your input, assign the appropriate modeling effects to the three dedicated
knobs, and will arm the first two tracks for recording.
Sophisticated and flexible track editing
D1200 is packed with powerful non-destructive editing tools.
It's easy to move sections of your tracks or song around using the Copy,
Insert, Swap and Delete commands. Powerful pro-level functions include
Normalize and Time Compression/Expansion.
High-capacity 40 GB hard drive plus USB connector
The D1200 contains a large 40 GB hard drive, which offers a
whopping 122 hours of recording time (at 16 bit recording, one track). Within
the hard drive, 2 GB of space (FAT 16 format) is automatically allocated as a
USB drive that can be accessed directly from a computer by simply connecting
the two devices with a common USB cable. By saving song data or .WAV files in
this area, you can easily backup or restore song data, import or export .WAV
files, or load system data. This makes it easy to move your songs into
computer-based applications, and to even email song files via the Internet.
Optional internal CDRW-1 burner and more great
features
You can easily install an optional 8x CD-RW drive into the
D1200, allowing you to backup and restore your songs and effect data,
import/export .WAV data, and create your own audio CDs. The D1200 can
synchronize with a PC or other external sequencers, recorders or rhythm
machines that support MIDI clock or MTC. The D1200 includes many other great
features like an Auto Save function, built-in auto chromatic tuner and a
high-quality PCM tone generator that provides 96 different metronome patterns
and 215 rhythm patterns.
