KORG D32XD Details
With the brand new Xtended Definition series, Korg brings a whole set of
professional features to its D-Series of digital recording studios. A stable
of advanced mixing, editing, and recording features are complimented by a huge
internal hard drive, a built-in CD-RW burner and a variety of performance enhancing
options. Offering 96 kHz / 24 bit resolution, up to sixteen simultaneous record
tracks, mix automation and flying faders, the D32XD Digital Recording Studio
is equipped to bring your creative ideas to life.
Brilliant Ergonomic Design
The D32XD is designed to provide unparalleled ease of use, the highest quality
audio recording and processing available – and to look good doing it. The clean,
stylish lines and uncluttered control surface are preserved thanks to the huge
TouchView display that organizes a wealth of parameters and controls into easily
accessed on-screen menus. This new display features enhanced resolution, a four-tone
gray scale, and tilts up for easy viewing. The improvements to the display make
it ideal for audio editing functions. Four dedicated knobs below the display
provide permanent realtime access to the Effects parameters. Similar dedicated
knobs and buttons for the individual EQs and Sends are located to the right
of the display. And, flying faders and dynamic automation are the icing on the
cake.
Supreme Audio Quality
Xtended Definition means this new recorder features uncompressed, 96 kHz / 24-bit
audio recording. Resolutions of 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz (both at 24 and 16 bit depths)
are also supported. Digital processing quality remains at high levels throughout
the mixer, effect and output stages. But digital excellence is not the end of
the story. The D32XD also provides eight channels of fully programmable analog
compression to the inputs, delivering a richness of tone and dynamic processing
that cannot be duplicated by digital technology.
Modular Input Design
Eight XLR jacks, each with individual phantom power supply, only hint at the
input possibilities. Eight 1/4” balanced jacks are also provided. Each input
features a variable trim knob and a 24dB pad to accommodate almost any input
source. By adding the optional eight channel analog input board (AIB-8) the
D32XD can reach its full potential of 16 inputs. The optional analog compressor
board (ACB-8) provides the same high quality compression to these extra inputs.
For added convenience, the front panel offers a dedicated guitar input.
Tracks Galore
The D32XD supports up to 16 tracks of simultaneous recording* and provides 32-track
playback. Each track contains eight virtual tracks. New to the Xtended Definition
series is a Master Track dedicated to creating your final stereo mix. The Master
Track also features 8 virtual tracks, allowing you to make many alternate mixes
in the same song. Just in case you’re curious, that comes out to 272 total tracks
for the D32XD. Wow!
*AIB-8 required
Mixer Madness
The D32XD features a 56 input, 14 buss digital mixer with extensive EQ capabilities.
Each recorder channel (32) features a full four-band parametric EQ with selectable
hi and low shelving. The submixer inputs can accommodate 24 channels, each with
hi and low shelving EQ, and a final eight band fully parametric EQ is available
when recording to the Master Track. Channel pairing is also available with multiple
pan control algorithms. Stereo Master, Monitor, Solo and Cue outputs, plus two
internal effect busses and four aux busses round out the Mixer section.
Automation & Navigation
To accommodate 32 channels of playback using 16 faders, the D32XD employs dynamic
automation to record and playback all of your fader moves. Motorized “flying”
faders on the D32XD will replay all the fader moves as the song plays – you’ll
actually see the faders move! The mixer sections of the D32XD can store 100
different mixer “scenes” and recall them automatically during playback. The
TouchView screen can display the settings of each mixer scene. Locate points
– six in all – are used to define edit points and loop points. An additional
100 “Marks” can be used to auto-locate back to any point in a song. You can
even name each of the Marks to help remind you what part of your song they are
pointing to.
Effects by the Boatload
The D32XD is a veritable wellspring of effect processing power. Up to twenty-seven high quality digital effects are available simultaneously on the D32XD – 24
Insert Effects, two Master Effects (stereo) and one Final Effect (stereo). The
icon driven display and dedicated control knobs combine to make effect routing,
selection and editing a breeze. A palette of 52 effect types produces 128 preset
effect program, and 128 user programmable effect programs. The effects programs
are based on Korg’s highly acclaimed REMS modeling technology. Footswitch and
footpedal jacks on the front panel allow you to actually play and interact with
the effects in real time.
Keep the Beat
As a metronome reference or to help you build up a track, the D32XD contains
a library of over 200 PCM rhythm patterns. Tempo maps allow you to preset tempo
(and pattern) changes at any point in the song. By tapping on the beat – or
at the start of each measure – you can use Tap Tempo to control the tempo manually.
Limitless Editing Abilities
Track editing is raised to new heights in these Xtended Definition digital recorders.
You can swap, delete, move, bounce, normalize, copy, reverse – even fade tracks
in or out. Expansion and compression tools allow you to shrink or stretch a
track to fit into a specific time, with either fixed or variable pitch. Optimize
commands include deleting recorded silent areas to recover valuable recording
time, or removing punch in/out artifacts. You can also import and export track
data as .WAV format audio files, with internal digital rate conversion, include
24 to 16 bit dithering. Once again, the huge TouchView display comes to the
rescue, making it easy to zoom in on the displayed audio data and set your edit
points with great accuracy. Change your mind? All edits (up to the last sixteen)
can be reversed using the Undo command.
Put It All Together
After you’ve recorded to your heart’s content, burn your creation to CD and
give it a listen. Feeling prolific? Arrange multiple songs in order, specify
the gap time between songs, and burn your CD all at once using the Album Project
feature. Mark points can be used to create track indexes when burning a continuous
performance (a live concert for example) to CD.
Studio Friendly
Designed to be at home in an increasingly digital studio environment, the D32XD
recorder comes equipped with S/P DIF optical connectors for digital input and
output. A two GB area of the internal hard drive is designated as the USB drive,
which can be recognized by a computer connected to the D32XD’s USB port for
easy file sharing. An additional eight channels of digital I/O are available
in ADAT light-pipe format by adding the optional Digital Interface Board (DIB-8).
This option also includes a digital word clock input and output. Transport,
fader movement, effect settings and other controls changes can be sent and received
via MIDI. The D32XD can also send and receive MIDI Time Code (MTC) and MIDI
Machine Control (MMC) commands and send MIDI Clock. Multiple frame rates are
supported for MTC sync.

I can't say enough good things about this machine. The ease of use and sound quality are incomparable. I received my unit with 1.0 software and downloaded the upgrades from Korg's website. I upgraded from 1.0 to 2.1 in 10 minutes. The upgrade gave additional features to the recorder and only required pressing 2 buttons! The manual is layed out where even I can understand it. It has Pictures with every step! You can produce a quick scratch recording at 16 bit 48Khz or a full full blown 32 channel project at 24 bit 96khz. I previously used a mic amp to provide a warmer vocal, but I don't need it with the mic modeling. I have to admit you can get as detailed as you want equalizing each track with a 4 band graphical eq. (Amazing on an acoustical guitar)You can detail the response of each string! You have a mix for each channel, a final mix, and a eight band master mix. Some of the track features? Noise erase,(Take a snapshot of your baseline noise, the machine learns it and erases the noise from each track. Prestine sound. You have to be careful,hours will pass in what seems a few minutes, while you easily learn all of the tools at your finger tips. You can put in an audio CD and model your instrument to sound like your favorite artist. The Free stuff from Musiciansbuy wasn't bad either!

I have had my 32XD for about 9 months and I still get excited every time I walk into my studio. I no longer have the need for additional outboard gear. My recorder, my studio amp, headphones,monitors, and microphones are all I will ever need. I average around 10 hrs. a week in the studio and my Korg has not burped one time. The ease of use is supported by a great manual that doesn't take a rocket sceintist to understand. The editing features are easily accessed. You have 32 channels of 16 bit audio, 16 channels of 24 bit at 48khz or 44.1, and at 96khz 24 bit you have 8 channels available. There really is no limit to how detailed you want to get with the on board mixer, 4 band graphic e.q. per channel and 8 band graphic on final. More effects than you would ever need. The screen is great for for graphically analyzing each track and finding those little clicks and hisses you want to edit out for detailing each channel or your master mix. I bought my 32XD from Musiciansbuy and received free headphhones, an expression pedal, and 10 cds. Sure beats a Tee Shirt! There is a great user group on the Web for Korg studio owners. It is hosted by a Korg engineer and there is a wealth of knowlege from all korg users. Check it out if you want more info, and even listen to some of the music created on the korg recorders. http: www.korgstudios.com
