In order to take full advantage of the D4 and enjoy trouble-

free operation, please read this manual carefully. After you

have read this manual, please keep it for future reference.

Main features

The D4 is a digital multi-track recorder that uses “Com-

pactFlash” as its recording and storage medium.

The D4 lets you record individual tracks using a guitar,

keyboard, mic, or other instruments, and then mix your

tracks into a completed song — all without requiring any

additional equipment. The D4 also contains a full comple-

ment of Editing tools such as copy, delete, expansion,

compression and more.

CompactFlash

CompactFlash provides a convenient and reliable media

format for recording and archiving your data. This solid-

state media requires no bulky drive mechanism, keeping

the D4 quiet and portable. You can also use the USB con-

nector to send the recorded data to your computer.

Virtual tracks

The D4 has four recording/playback tracks. Each track

provides 8 virtual tracks. These virtual tracks give you the

equivalent of 32 tracks (4 tracks × 8) of multi-track record-

ing.

Effects

The built-in effect unit features Korg’s “ ” modeling

technology, and contains 100 different effect programs cre-

ated by professional musicians and engineers. You can

also save 100 of your own original effect programs in the

If you make a mistake in one part of your recorded perfor-

mance, or if you are not happy with a certain part of your

performance, you can re-record just a speciﬁc portion of

the track without having to re-record the entire track from

the beginning, or without having to play through to the

end of the track.

“Punch-in” is the action of switching the song from playback

mode to record mode, and “punch-out” is the action of

switching from record mode back to playback mode.

1Adjust the recording level of the input source.

Refer to “1. Recording methods” steps 1 4– .

2Set the “AutoIn” parameter to “On.”

Use the [MODE] knob to select “SYSTEM” mode, and

Auto Punch-In/Out — Re-recording a pre-speciﬁed

region of the track

There is also a way to automatically punch-in and punch-

out without having to manually press a key or step on a

pedal switch at the desired moment. This is convenient iff

you’re recording a performance (such as guitar) that

requires both hands.

1Specify the time location where you want to begin

recording.

Set the [MODE] knob to “LOCATE.” Then use the

play and stop operations to move to the desired loca-

tion. In this mode, you can also press the CURSOR

[ ] key to make the counter display blink and use

the [VALUE] dial to specify the time location where

you want to begin recording. Press the [STORE] key;

begin automatically when you reach the punch-in point.

When you reach the punch-out point, recording will

end and the track will automatically resume playback.

6Press the [STOP] key to stop playback.

If desired, you can press the [UNDO] key to return to the

state prior to recording. (→p.26)

Operation

3. Combining multiple tracks

There are two methods for combing multiple tracks that

have already been recorded onto a single track or a stereo

pair of tracks: Mastering and Bounce recording. These

operations will free up more tracks so you can continue

adding (recording) new tracks. Mastering is generally

used when you are ready to make a ﬁnal stereo mix.

Bounce recording can mix previously recorded tracks

together with an external input source as the D4 records.

Combining tracks 1–4 onto two tracks — Mastering

1Select “Mastering” as the “REC MODE” mode.

Set the [MODE] knob to “REC MODE.”

Use the [VALUE] dial to select “Mastering.”

Press the [EXIT] key to return to “Play” mode.

2Arm the recording tracks.

Press the [PAN] knobs that correspond to the tracks

you want to record (tracks 1 and 2). The REC SELECT

LEDs for those tracks will light.

3Adjust the pan of the playback tracks.

Press the [PLAY] key to begin play back, and adjust

the stereo position (pan) of the recorded tracks (1–4).

If you are using only one recording destination track, set the

pan to the far right if you are bouncing to track 1 or 3, or to

the far left if you are bouncing to track 2 or 4. In this case, the

monitor sound will also be panned all the way to one side,

which is inconvenient for listening while you record. To pre-

vent this from happening, turn the “AutoPan” setting “On.”

The panning of the bounce source tracks will automatically

be set appropriately for the bounce destination, and the

monitor sound will also be automatically panned to the cen-

ter. If you are using two recording tracks, this setting will be

ignored. Pan to “L” if the recording track is odd-numbered,

or to “R” if the recording track is even-numbered. (→p.57)

4Return to the beginning of the song.

5Adjust the playback and recording levels.

Use the track faders to adjust the playback level, and

use the master fader to adjust the recording level.

• Apply effects to the sound being played back. (→p.37)

• Play internal rhythms along with the playback. (→p.42)

Operation

Step 5. Viewing and changing the

time location

This section explains how to use the counter display, how

to use locate points, and how to select a different time

location within a song.

1. Changing the format of the counter display

The counter display format shown in Play mode can be

switched according to your needs. You can switch

between the following two time display formats.

• “minutes”: “seconds” .

“1/1000 second”

• “measures” . “beats” . “1/96 beat”

Set the [MODE] knob to “Locate” (Locate mode), and turn

the [VALUE] dial to change the display format. (→p.62)

2. Changing the current time location

1Set the counter display blinking.

In the Locate or Play mode, when the counter is dis-

played, pressing the CURSOR [ ] key will make the

counter display begin to blink.

2Use the [VALUE] dial to change the time location.

Now turn the [VALUE] dial to change the location. To

move the cursor between the various units of change,

right will switch to a new screen that will allow you to

move in smaller units.

If “LocMoni” ( p.57) is turned “On,” you will be able to lis-→

ten to the sound as you change the time location. This can be

useful for setting locate points with greater accuracy.

3Return to the normal Play mode.

When you press the [EXIT] key, you will return to the

initial counter mode. To move from the middle of the

song to the beginning, press the [REW] key.

3. Using locate points to change the time location

You can register a speciﬁc time location as a “locate point”

and then move instantly to the registered time location

whenever you want. The times you register are also used

for auto punch-in/out recording and for track editing.

You can use locate points to move even while the song is

playing.

Registering the IN and OUT locate points

1Move to the time location that you want to register.

2Press the [STORE] key.

The key will light.

3Press the key ([IN (LOC1)] or [OUT (LOC2)]) that

you want to register to this time location.

The time will be registered to that key. The registered

time will be displayed brieﬂy, and the [STORE] key

will go dark.

You can perform steps – even during playback.2 3

If you want to save the registered locate points as part of the

song data, press the [STOP] key to save the song. If you turn

off the power without saving the song, the locate points you

registered will not be preserved.

Moving to the IN or OUT points you registered

Press the [IN (LOC1)] key or [OUT (LOC2)] key. You will

move to that time location.

Setting the InTime and OutTime

To specify the InTime and OutTime locations used for

track editing operations, you can simply register the

desired time to each key as described in “Registering the

IN and OUT locate points.”

If you want to specify InTime and OutTime locations that

are independent of the IN and OUT settings, press the lit

[IN] or [OUT] key while you’re in the track editing opera-

tion; the display will change to the time of that locate

point. Then, in the same way as when moving the current

time location, use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys to make

the desired counter value blink, and turn the [VALUE]

dial to specify the time.

By pressing the [PLAY] key at this time, you can hear

approximately two seconds of playback starting at the

selected time location.

The modiﬁed time you specify here will not be reﬂected by

the locate point.

If you want to change the To Time or End Time for track edit-

ing operations, press the [PUNCH] key when setting the

parameter.

Step 6. Mixer adjustments

By using the mixer to adjust the volume, tone, and pan-

ning for input/recording or playback of each track, you

can create the most effective overall sound.

1. Select a mixer parameter

Adjusting the level (volume), and pan (stereo position)

Use the [TRACK 1]–[TRACK 4] and [MASTER] faders to

adjust the levels. Use the [PAN] knobs to adjust the pan.

While the recorder is stopped and the counter is dis-

played, moving a knob will cause its value to brieﬂy

appear.

Operation

Step 7. Using effects

The effects section of the D4 provides 93 types of effects. It

contains 100 preset effect programs and 100 user effect

programs that combine these effects in various ways. The

preset memories contain effect programs created by pro-

fessional musicians and studio engineers. The user memo-

ries can hold effect programs that you yourself create by

editing the presets.

There are four types of effect programs:

guitar/mic effects: (mono insert effect)

insert/guitar+vocal effects: (two channel insert effect)

master effects: (stereo master effect)

ﬁnal effects: (stereo ﬁnal effect)

1. Assigning and applying effects

saving the edited effect, your settings will be lost. If you will

want to use the edited effect again, you must execute the

“Save effect” operation.

Effect programs and chains

The combination of effect modules that can be used simul-

taneously and the order of their connection is referred to

as a “ .” The D4 provides eleven chains that are suit-chain

able for a variety of situations: [CHAIN A]–[CHAIN E]

and [CHAIN 1]–[CHAIN 6].

The factory preset settings contain 100 effect programs,

each consisting of one of these chains.

To create a custom-edited effect program, you will start

with one of these factory-preset effect programs.

Selecting the effect type and chain

In order to edit an effect, you must ﬁrst select an effect

type and a chain.

To select an , press one of the four FX keys: [GUI-effect type

TAR/MIC], [INSERT/GTR+VO], [MASTER], or [FINAL].

This selection will determine the position in the signal chain

where the effect is inserted, and the type of input/output.

The effect type you select also determines the type of

chains that are available.

Operation

To work with a speciﬁc chain, you must begin by selecting

an effect program that uses the desired chain. (→p.81)

For example if you want to edit your own program based

on [CHAIN A], choose the “GUITAR/MIC” effect type,

and select the preset program “ALICE”. If you want to

edit your own program based on [CHAIN 1], choose the

“MASTER” effect type, and select the preset program

“Pan-Echo.”

You can’t change the chain used by each of the factory-preset

effect programs.

the same data as the preset data will be loaded into the

user area, initializing these settings.

The settings of the Favorite knob will return to their factory-

set state.

This will overwrite the D4’s internal user area, so if you want

to save the current contents of the user area, you’ll need to

perform the procedure described in “To save an effect user

ﬁle” before you restore the factory settings.

Step 8. Rhythm & tempo settings

This section explains how to use the rhythm and metro-

nome patterns, how to select a time signature, and how to

adjust the song’s tempo setting.

If you change the tempo after recording, the measures and

beats displayed in the location counter will no longer match

the audio in the track. The tempo only controls the playback

speed of the rhythm patterns, and does not affect the play-

back speed of the recorded tracks.

1. Playing rhythm and metronome patterns

The D4 contains 87 various rhythm patterns, ranging from

simple metronome patterns to more complex drums

phrases designed for a particular style of music (→p.91).

When you have an idea for a song and want to begin

recording, you can play along with the internal rhythm

patterns as a guide.
