D12 Guided Tour
Getting Started:
Audio connections: Connect the rear panel MONITOR L / R outputs to a stereo monitoring system for playback/recording, and
connect headphones to the front panel PHONES jack. Note: Use the rear panel MASTER L/R outputs when mastering to external
DAT, MD, etc.
Recording sources for this guide: We’ll make it easy for you to get quickly familiar with the D12 recording procedures: You ‘ll be
using the built-in microphone for the basic recording exercises, so there’s no need to connect an external microphone. In addition to
the basic recording section, there’s a “Guitar/Insert effect/Rhythm Pattern Demo”, and (of course) an electric guitar is necessary for
the exercises in this section.
Objects referred to in this guide: D12 top panel objects that you'll work with are: Keys, Dial, Faders and Pan/Balance knobs.
