Here are the details: Ergonomically designed front panel Korg digital recording studios are known for their logical, easy-to-use controls, and the D1200CD 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 D1200 uses high-performance, balanced preamps on all analog inputs. 2 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/PDIF digital input automatically converts incoming 48kHz and 32kHz data into 44.1 kHz for recording.

Full-featured mixer section The D1200CD's 16-channel, 4-bus mixer section provides a separate 3-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 D1200CD records and plays back either 16- or 24-bit 44.1 kHz audio data. It 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 4 tracks can be recorded simultaneously. Each track contains 8 virtual tracks, giving you a total of 96 tracks per song.

Abundant effects, including REMS Modeling The D1200CD provides 3 independent effect systems (44-bit internal processing). Up to 8 insert effects can be assigned to individual channels. 2 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 5 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 D1200CD simplifies the initial set-up process. Just turn on the Modeling mode and choose Guitar, Bass, or Mic.
