Display
Some pages of the manual show display screens
along with an explanation of functions and opera-
tions. All song names, parameter names, and val-
ues are merely examples and may not always
match the actual display you are working on.
Handling of the internal hard disk
4. Applying an effect to the input sound
5. Applying an effect to the input sound
Do not apply physical shock to this device. In partic-
ular, you must be very careful to avoid moving the
device or jarring the device while it is powered-on.
Such actions can cause part or all of the data on disk
to be lost, and may damage the hard disk or the inte-
rior mechanism.
6. Applying the dedicated delay
7. Listening to recorded tracks while
8. Manually re-recording part
Canceling a recording or editing operation
Do not repeatedly turn the unit on and off. This can
damage not only the device itself, but also any other
SCSI devices which are connected.
Never turn off the power when the HDD access indi-
cator is lit or blinking. This can damage part or all of
the data on disk, or cause malfunctions such as dam-
age to the hard disk.
■ This device will begin accessing the hard disk immedi-
ately after the power is turned on. At this time, the
HDD access indicator will blink, and the display
will indicate “Working.” Never turn off the power
until the song name appears in the display and the
HDD access indicator goes dark. The length of time
that the hard disk is accessed after power-on will
depend on the capacity of the hard disk and on
the amount of data on the disk.
9. Automatically re-recording part
10. Combining multiple tracks into one or two tracks
2. Playing a specified area of a song once
4. Applying an external effect
■ If hard disk access continues (e.g., sound contin-
ues to be heard) even after playback or recording
operations have been halted, do not turn off the
power until the HDD access indicator has
stopped blinking. In such cases, it is possible that
access may not stop for several minutes or several
tens of minutes.
If damage to the hard disk occurs due to incorrect opera-
tion, a power failure, or an accidental interruption of the
power supply, a fee may be charged for repair even if the
unit is still under warrantee.

Here’s how to connect the D8 to your audio
system, and listen to the demo songs.
1. Connections to your
audio system etc.
The following diagram shows a basic example of a
D8 recording system. Modify the connections
shown below as needed for your particular setup,
and connect your equipment to the D8.
Be sure to turn off the power before making con-
nections. Failure to do so can damage your speaker
system or cause malfunctions.
Connect the included AC/ AC power supply to the
power supply connector of the D8. Then plug the
power supply into an AC outlet.
If you wish to synchronize a MIDI sequencer etc. to
the D8, use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT
of the D8 to the MIDI IN of your sequencer. If you
will be using MMC, connect the MIDI OUT of your
MIDI sequencer. to the MIDI IN jack of the D8.

Connect your audio equipment.
Use an RCA phono cable to connect the OUTPUT
L/ R jacks to your amplification system.
If you wish to use headphones for monitoring, con-
nect the phone plug of your headphones to the
PHONES jack. The volume can be adjusted by the
[PHONES] knob located at the left.
For analog recording, connect the phone plug of

Refer to “1. Recording (analog recording), ■ Listening

ten to the playback.
2. Recording (digital recording)
Here’s how to record digitally from an instrument
which has a digital output or from an external dig-
ital device such as a CD or DAT player. Since the
digital input of the D8 provides a sampling rate
converter, 48 kHz and 32 kHz sources will be con-
verted to 44.1 kHz as they are recorded.
As an example, we will record in stereo to tracks 3
and 4. When recording two tracks simultaneously,
you will use an odd/ even pair of adjacent tracks
(1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7/ 8).
3. Using EQ to modify the
tone as you record
Here’s how the built-in 2-band equalizer (EQ) can
be applied to the input sound to modify the tone,
so that the modified tone can be recorded.
■ Connecting the input device and adjusting
the level
During digital recording, the effect will be off, and it
will not be possible to use effects on any other track.
1
Referring to the previous section “1. Analog
recording” or “2. Digital recording”, connect the
device that you wish to record, and adjust the level.
During analog recording, if the input level adjusted
by [TRIM 1] and [TRIM 2] is inappropriate, the input
sound may distort, or there may be unwanted noise.
When the Channel Level Meter Select (refer to p.47) is
set to Post, the channel level meters will indicate the
volume level between the EQ and the [CHANNEL]
faders. This means that if you apply EQ or set the fad-
ers to a position other than unity gain (or if you set
the effect [EFFECT ASSIGN] to INPUT 1/ 2), it will
not be possible to check just the input level.
■ Connecting the input device and adjusting
the level
1
Turn down the [MASTER] fader or the D8, and
connect the digital output of your keyboard, CD or
DAT to the D8’s DIGITAL IN connector.
■ Press the [SYSTEM] key several times to make the
display read “ChMtr”, and rotate the [VALUE] dial to
select Pre. Rotate the [TRIM 1] and [TRIM 2] knobs to
adjust the input level as high as possible without
causing the “CLIP” indicator of the channel level
meters to light. After making adjustments, rotate the
[VALUE] dial to return the “ChMtr” setting to Post.

Here’s how you can apply the D8’s internal effect
to the sound of an instrument or other sound
source connected to the INPUT 1 jack or INPUT 2
jack. In this section, only the input sound is
recorded. Use this method when you wish to try a
variety of effects during playback and decide on
the final sound later.

In addition to the effect that was discussed in “4.
Applying an effect to the input sound as you record”
and “5. Applying an effect to the input sound and
recording only the input sound”, the D8 provides a
“monitor delay” that can be applied only to the input
sound. When you are recording vocals or guitar,
applying this delay will give the sound a sense of
spaciousness. This delay will not be recorded. Since
the monitor delay is not part of the internal effect, it
lets you use the internal effect in other ways.

7. Listening to recorded tracks
while you record another
track (Overdubbing)
8. Manually re-recording
part of the performance
(Manual Punch In/Out)
If you made a mistake during the performance that
you recorded, or if you were not able to play the
entire song as you had intended, there is no need
to re-record the entire song — you can re-record
just the part that you need.
The process of recording additional tracks while
you listen to previously recorded tracks is called
“overdubbing”.
As an example, we will explain how you can play-
back the sound that was recorded on track 1, and
perform analog recording on track 2.
“Punch In” is the action of switching from song
playback to record, and “Punch Out” is the action
of switching back from recording to playback.
“Manual Punch In/ Out” is when you perform the
Punch In and Punch Out manually. On the D8, you can
Punch In during playback either by pressing the [REC]
key or by pressing a foot switch <sold separately>. You
can Punch Out by pressing either the [REC] key or the
[PLAY] key, or by pressing a foot switch.

called “track bouncing” or “ping pong recording”.
This can be used when you wish to record more
than 8 tracks, etc.

■ Enabling parameters for pairing
Adjusting and storing
mixer settings
For the [PAN] knobs, “Snd”, “Aux” and “EQ”, you
can specify whether or not pairing will be enabled
for each parameter. This setting is common to the
entire song.
STEP6
This section explains how you can adjust
the volume, tone and pan etc. of the
input/ recording/ playback for each channel, to create
the desired overall balance of sound. This process is
known as “mixdown”.
Mixer settings can also be registered as a “scene”.
Scenes can be selected as time passes during playback,
or recalled as general-purpose settings.

1. Pairing settings
You can group the settings of adjacent odd/ even
mixer channels (1-2, 3-4, 5-6), so that changes made
to the values of one channel will be reflected by
both channels. This is referred to as “pairing”. This
is convenient when you are mixing tracks that
were recorded in stereo.

Adjusting
ing mixer
Rotate the [VALUE] dial to enable (o) or disable (-)
pairing.
Pairing applies to the settings of the [TRACK STA-
TUS] keys, high EQ “HEQ”, low EQ “LEQ”, effect
send “Snd”, Aux send “Aux”, the [PAN] knobs and
the [CHANNEL] faders.
2. Adjusting the volume of
each channel
Of these, you can specify for each setting other
than the [TRACK STATUS] keys and the [CHAN-
NEL] faders whether or not the setting will be
paired when pairing is turned on.
You can adjust the input/ recording/ playback vol-
ume of each channel. The available range extends
from OFF to unity gain ( )* and an additional +12
dB of gain. Normally you will leave the faders set
at unity gain, and rather than raising the fader for
low-volume channels, it is best to make adjust-
ments by lowering the other faders.
■ Pairing on/off

To turn pairing on, simultaneously press the
[EFFECT SEND] keys for the desired pair of adja-
cent odd/ even channels (1-2, 3-4, 5-6).

[TRACK STATUS] keys, “HEQ”, “LEQ”, “Snd”
and “Aux” can be set from either odd or even

When pairing is on, use the odd-num-
bered channel to make adjustments.
[CHANNEL] faders and [PAN] knobs (pan will
function as the left/ right balance adjustment when
paired) are operated from the odd-numbered chan-
nel (1, 3, 5). Adjustments made to the even-num-
bered channel will be ignored.
This parameter can be stored in a

knobs will adjust the left/ right balance, and only
the [PAN] knobs of the odd-numbered channels
are used.

4. Using the EQ to adjust
the tone
Effect Send (“Snd”) adjusts the amount of sound
that is sent from each channel to the internal effect
You can use the equalizer to adjust the tonal char-
acter of each channel. If you adjust the tone of the
input signal as you record it, the sound will be
recorded that way.
AUX Send (“Aux”) adjusts the amount of sound
This can be used to cut the high frequency range
which sometimes contains obtrusive hiss noise, or
to cut/ boost the low range or high range to adjust
the tonality.
Track Status ([TRACK STATUS]) determines
whether each track can be recorded or played back,
or will be muted.
Normally, you will use EQ to give the sound more
clarity and definition. However if EQ settings are
excessively high, such as when the maximum
amount of boost is used, the overall mix will be
unbalanced, and the sound can be fatiguing. It is
recommended that EQ be used in the “cut” direc-
tion as well, and that you use no more boost/ cut
than necessary.
■ Adjusting the High EQ
The high EQ lets you cut/ boost the 10 kHz fre-
quency range over a range of -15–+15 dB.

Mixdown
2. Applying an effect dur-
ing mixdown
A song that you have completed by record-
ing tracks and mixing can be recorded on
an external two-channel recorder such as a
cassette tape recorder, DAT recorder or MD
recorder. This process is referred to as
“mixdown”.
STEP7
During mixdown, you can apply effects such as
limiter (an effect which smoothes out the volume
of the input signal) or compressor (an effect which
compresses the input signal to give the sound more
consistency and punch) so the sound that is output
and recorded on the external recorder will be con-
sistent in volume.

4. Erasing data from a
track (Erase Track)
This operation erases data from a specified area
(IN–OUT) of a recorded track. Single tracks or mul-
tiple tracks can be erased simultaneously. The
erased area will be blank, and even if recorded
data exists following the erased area, it will not be
moved forward.
This operation inserts a blank space into the speci-
fied area (IN–OUT) of a recorded track. When the
blank is inserted, the original data will be moved
toward the end of the song to make room for the
blank. A blank can be inserted into a single track,
or into multiple tracks at once. If you wish to add
phrases to the middle of previously recorded data,
use this operation to insert a blank space of the
appropriate length, and then record onto that area.

Tempo settings
By specifying a different metronome pattern for
each tempo map, you can create a rhythm track with
a variety of patterns. using just the D8’s metronome.
The tempo of D8 songs can be set using
Tempo Maps, MIDI Clock, or Tap Tempo.
In addition to managing the tempo, these
settings will also control the tempo when

external MIDI devices are synchronized to the D8. This
section explains how to adjust these tempo settings.

A “tempo map” is a tempo change (time signature
and tempo) that can be specified for an individual
measure. The specified time signature and tempo
will take effect at the specified measure. There are
ten tempo maps; tempo map 0 is located at the
beginning of the song and is the initial tempo of
the song, and tempo maps 1–9 can be placed in
measures during the song to modify the time sig-
nature and tempo.

Rotate the [VALUE] dial to select the number of the
tempo map that you wish to delete. The location
counter in the lower line will allow you to confirm
the location of the tempo map that will be deleted.
Since the tempo maps are re-numbered automati-

of a tempo map may not be the same as when you
created it.

Synchronization

MIDI sequencer
STEP11
Gen:Clockœ
This section explains how a MIDI sequencer can be syn-
chronized to the D8, and how recording and playback
on the D8 can be controlled from a MIDI sequencer.
“Synchronization” refers to a condition in which a D8
and a MIDI sequencer or rhythm machine etc. can be
operated at the same timing. The device that is output-
ting the synchronization clock is called the “master”,
and the device that is receiving the synchronization
clock and synchronizing to it is called the “slave”. The
D8 can be used as the master. It is also possible to con-
trol recording or playback on the D8 by transmitting
MMC messages from a MIDI sequencer etc.

3. Using MMC to control
the D8 from a MIDI
sequencer
STEP12
This section explains how an external
drive such as a hard disk or removable
disk can be connected and initialized, and how you can
backup/ restore songs using a removable disk drive.
MMC (MIDI Machine Control) messages transmit-
ted from a MIDI sequencer can control stop, play-
back, fast-forward, rewind, rewind and locate
operations on the D8.
1. Connecting an external
drive
To do this, your MIDI sequencer must support
MMC. If your MIDI sequencer does not support
MMC, this type of control will not be available.
Up to 7 external drives such as hard disks or
removable disks* can be connected to the D8. The
maximum capacity of each external drive is 4
Gbytes. Use a D-sub 25 pin SCSI cable to make con-
nections.

Use a MIDI cable to connect the D8’s MIDI IN con-
nector to the MIDI OUT connector of the MIDI

transmit MMC to control an external device. (Refer
to the owner’s manual for your MIDI sequencer.)

When you stop, playback, fast-forward, rewind,
record or locate on your MIDI sequencer, the D8
will be controlled accordingly. (For details refer to
the owner’s manual for your MIDI sequencer.)
Be sure to attach (or switch on) the terminator for
the last drive in the chain. If more than one exter-
nal drive is connected, make sure that the total
length of the cable does not exceed 6 meters. (For
details on connections, refer to the owner’s manual
for your external drive.)
■ In this setup, MTC (or MIDI Clock) messages can
be transmitted from the D8 to synchronize the
MIDI sequencer, so that stop, playback, fast-for-
ward, rewind, record and locate operations on the
MIDI sequencer will cause the D8 to synchronize
with the MIDI sequencer. (Refer to “2. Using MTC
to synchronize a MIDI sequencer to the D8” and

sequencer to the D8”.)

P2-1 Pre trigger time setting ...................[000...700 m (s)]
This parameter can be set if Map has been selected as
the tempo source (refer to EDIT TEMPO P1).
Specifies the pre trigger time during which the sound
will be recorded before the actual trigger time.
When trigger recording is used, the initial part of the
sound may be lost for sounds with a rapid attack, such
as percussion.
By setting the pre trigger time, you can enable the
recording to include the low-volume portion that is
heard before the trigger threshold level is reached.
Since the appropriate time setting will depend on the
source that is being input, try various pre trigger times
to find the best setting.
If Trk has been selected as the tempo source, this page
will indicate Trk, and it will not be possible to specify
the tempo. In this case, playback (recording) will occur
at the tempo which was recorded during tempo
recording (refer to EDIT TEMPO P2).
If you modify the tempo after recording, the measures
and time signature shown in the location counter will
no longer match the audio in the tracks. In order to
bring these back into correspondence, use Tap Tempo
recording (refer to EDIT TEMPO).
At the beginning of the song, this will have no effect.
P1-3 Time signature setting ............................. [1...8/4,10/4,
If you begin recording at the end of a previously
recorded track, setting the pre trigger time to other
than 000 ms will cause the recording to overlap part of
the previously recorded sound, causing the end of that
sound to be cut off.

recording.
After tempo recording, this will automatically be Trk.
The metronome sound is output from OUTPUT L/ R
and from PHONE. It is not possible to directly record
the sound of the metronome.
If you wish to record the sound of the metronome on
the D8, use an audio cable to connect the output of the
OUTPUT L/ R jacks to the INPUT 1/ 2 jacks, and
record as usual. At this time, set the [MASTER] fader
to 0.
Tempo recording
By recording MIDI Clock messages, you can synchro-
nize to the MIDI Clock messages of an external
sequencer.
By recording tap tempo, you will be able to use mea-
sure units to handle a source of unknown tempo (such
as a CD) that has previously been recorded into the D8.
P2
If the time signature changes during the song, you
must first use TEMPO P1 to create a tempo map which
includes the changes in time signature.

Selects the number of the scene whose settings you
wish to check.
16. SCENE
Mixer settings can be stored at a desired location in a
song.
A set of mixer settings that has been stored in this way
is called a “scene”. Up to twenty scenes can be stored
in each song.
The following mixer settings are included in a scene:
high EQ “HEQ”, low EQ “LEQ”, effect send “Snd”,
AUX send “Aux”, pan (the [PAN], [BALANCE] knob)
and the channel volume level (the [CHANNEL] fader).
When Scene Read is On
The scene for the current time location will automati-
cally be selected. Use this to check the current scene.
S01...20: The level meter section will indicate the set-
tings of the scene for the current time location. You will
be able to select only the one scene for the current time
location.
CUR (Current): The level meter section will indicate
the current settings of the mixer section. If you have
modified the mixer settings after the scene has
changed, this lets you see the actual settings.
– – : This will be displayed when there is no scene for
the current time location.
✧ To store the mixer settings in the current scene, press
[STORE] and then press the [SCENE] key. At this time,
the display will indicate the scene number that is being
stored.
Scene Read on/ off................................................... [On, Off]
When Scene Read is Off
In this case you can select a scene without regard to the
current time location. Use this when you wish to check
the setting memory or various scenes.
On (indicator lit): Scenes will be read. As playback con-
tinues, settings will change at the registered times.
Off (indicator off): Scenes will not be read.
It is possible to store mixer settings without regard to a
specific time location, and recall them as general-pur-
pose setups.
S01...20: The level meter section will indicate the set-
tings of the selected scene, and that scene will be
recalled. The current audio output will be changed
according to these settings.
The first-displayed scene number will be the scene
number which was the basis for the current settings of
the mixer (i.e., the most recently recalled scene).
– – : This will be displayed when no scene has yet been
recalled.
If no scenes have been stored, it will not be possible to
turn this On.
When Scene Read is On, the settings of the [PAN]
knobs and the [CHANNEL] faders will not match the
physical locations of the front panel controls.
Mixer parameter values can be adjusted even when
Scene Read is On.
If you modify the mixer settings after a scene has been
selected, the “:” beside the scene number will change
to “✧” to indicate that the current values are different
than those of the selected scene.
When you change this setting from Off to On, the
scene that is stored for that time location will be read.
For example if this is switched from Off to On
between the time locations of scene 1 and scene 2,
scene 1 will be loaded.
When you change this setting from On to Off, the
parameter values that were in effect at that time will be
maintained. Even if a mixer parameter value is modi-
fied while this is On, the modified value will be main-
tained.
Scene recall will not be performed for mixer channels
whose tracks are set to [TRACK STATUS] REC.

28. EFFECT
The D8 contains one multi-effect unit, which provides
130 different effect programs. Of these, 65 are factory
presets, and 65 are user area programs (for containing
programs which you edit).
Each effect program connects up to 4 types of effect.
Such a collection of connected effects is called
“chain”.
KB
SE
Functional categories include spatial-type effects and
dynamics processing.
These effects are intended mainly for application to the
overall mix, such as during mixdown.
When [EFFECT ASSIGN] is set to MASTER (Global
Type), selecting EQ will let you use the effect as an
overall EQ, or selecting a limiter will let you use the
effect as an overall limiter.

The instrument categories provide effects that are
suited for their respective instruments. However there
may be situations in which interesting results can be
obtained by selecting an effect that is intended for a
different instrument than what you are actually using,
so you need not feel limited by the category.
The input and output of an effect program is deter-
mined by the effects which make up the chain. Effect
types can be broadly divided into three types (refer to
“P1-2 Effect name display”).
To help you select an appropriate effect, these effect
programs are categorized into 11 categories, by the
instrument or function for which they are used (refer
to “P1-1 Effect category and effect number select”).
In addition, you can select one of three locations in
which the effect will be placed: INSERT, MASTER
(Send Type) or MASTER (Global Type). (Refer to
“EFFECT ASSIGN”.)

The input and output of the effects are structured in
one of three ways: “mono-in/ stereo-out”, “mono-in/

For “mono-in/ mono-out” × 2 channel and “stereo-in/

These effects are applied to a single channel (or two or
more channels that are mixed before the effect input),

only one channel of the stereo output.

Monitor delay settings
P2
Use these effects when you wish to apply the same
effect simultaneously to two channels.
You can apply a delay to only the monitor sound.
When recording vocals or guitar, applying delay to the
monitor sound will add a sense of spaciousness, mak-
ing it easier for you to sing or play, and the delay effect
will not be applied to the sound that is actually
recorded.
For example you would select this if you are inputting
a piano sound from your keyboard in stereo, and
would like to apply a compressor to each channel
independently to process the sound that is being
recorded.
However, simultaneous two-channel input is accepted
only if [EFFECT ASSIGN] is set either to INPUT 1/2 or
MASTER (Global Type).

ing on the disk drive that is currently being used. To
check the time that is available for stereo recording or
simultaneous two-track recording, set two [TRACK
STATUS] indicators to REC.
1. Troubleshooting
→ When you record over a previously recorded track, the
previously recorded data will be saved on disk, mean-
ing that extra disk capacity will be used. If you do not
need to keep the previously recorded track, you can
save disk capacity by performing the Undo operation
before re-recording.
→ When you record over a previously recorded track, the
disk capacity will be affected as follows. For example,
suppose that you recorded a certain track for ten min-
utes (A–B), and then re-recorded for twelve minutes
(A–C) so as to overlay the A–B region. The data initially
recorded in the A–B region (approximately 50 MB of
data for 10 minutes) will remain even after you record
over (overwrite) it, meaning that a total of 22 minutes
of capacity (approximately 110 MB) will be occupied. In
such cases if you wish to conserve disk capacity, make
sure that the HDD access indicator is completely dark,
and then turn the power off and back on again. The D8
will automatically erase the previously recorded data
(A–B), thus increasing the remaining disk capacity.

executed.
^A failure occurred while writing/ reading the disk

→ Delete the song which produced this message. If this
message continues to appear, re-format the disk drive.
DiskBusy
^If this message appears when you have just begun
using a disk drive, that disk drive is too slow, and can-
not be used for recording/ playback.
→ Either copy data to CLP, or select a different source
track.
Protect
→ Use that disk drive for backing up.
^Writing was not possible because the selected disk
drive is write protected.
→ Eject the disk and turn off write protect.
^If punch recording or track editing has been used so
that much of the audio data is fragmented (i.e., located
on non-contiguous areas of the disk), reading/ writing
may become delayed.
TmpFast
^Recording failed during tempo recording because the
tempo was too fast.
→ If you are recording MIDIclk, set the tempo of the
MIDI Clock output device (sequencer etc.) to a slightly
lower setting.
→ Find the track(s) which contain fragmented data and
re-record this data to de-fragment the data. When
you find such a track, copy it to CLP (clip), then cre-
ate a new song, and use the Copy Track operation to
copy the data from CLP to the song. Set the new
song to “REC SELECT=MASTER,” “EFFECT

vacant track. This will produce a track which is
identical to the copied track, but whose data is
unfragmented. As you did before, copy the data
from the new song to CLP, and use the Copy Track
operation to return it to its original location. This
will solve the problem of the slow-down in disk
drive operation.

Functions added to the D8

than where you begin recording, and playback to
check the result.
Bouncing tracks 1–8
If after checking the result, you decide to do the
operation over again, press the [UNDO] key.
Tracks 7 and 8 will return to the condition in which
they were before the track bounce operation, so
you can repeat the operation as many times as you
like until you are happy with the results. At this
time, if you simply record without remembering to
press the [UNDO] key, the original data of tracks 7
and 8 will be lost, so we recommend that you make
a copy of the song before performing the track
bounce operation.
Now you can bounce a performance which was
recorded on all eight tracks. Here’s how to bounce
the sound of tracks 1–8 to tracks 7 and 8 in stereo.

operation.
