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
Using a guitar/mic effect
Use a guitar/mic effect when you want to apply an insert
effect to a mono input source such as guitar, bass guitar, or
mic.
1 Connect your guitar (INPUT 1) or mic (INPUT 2),
and specify the track on which you want to record.
Press the [TRACK ASSIGN] key for the input you are
connected to ([1] or [2]), and that key will light. Press one
of the [PAN] knobs to select the recording track. Make
sure that the REC SELECT LED is lit for the recording
track that you selected. For details on how to set the
[INPUT 1] or [INPUT 2] switch, refer to “Rear panel.”
2 Select the guitar/mic effect.
Press the FX [GUITAR/MIC] key ; the key will light.
To turn it off, press and hold the key.
3 Select an effect program.
Turn the [VALUE] dial to select an effect program.
4 Adjust the recording level, and record.
Refer to “Recording methods.”
If the [GUITAR/MIC] key is lit, you can select only one track
for recording.
If you’re using the internal mic, adjust the level with caution
in order to avoid acoustic feedback.
Using an insert/guitar+vocal effect
Use an insert/guitar+vocal effect when you want to apply
an insert effect to a stereo input source such as a stereo key-
board, line input, or if you’re singing while playing a guitar.
1 Connect your input equipment, and specify the
tracks on which you want to record.
Press the [TRACK ASSIGN] key for the first input ([1])
that you are connected to; the key will light. Press one
of the [PAN] knobs to select the recording track for
that input. Repeat this procedure for the other input
([2]). Make sure that the REC SELECT LEDs are lit for
the recording tracks that you selected. For details on
how to set the [INPUT 1] or [INPUT 2] switch, refer to
“Rear panel.”
2 Select the insert/guitar+vocal effect.
Press the FX [INSERT/GTR+VO] key; the key will
light.
To turn it off, press and hold the key.
