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.

D12 Display objects that you'll work with are: Tabs, Popup and Radio buttons, Dialog boxes and Icons. All top panel keys are
