??? CD Burning ???

Hey Vinnie,

Nope, sorry. The D8 doesn't have the necessary on board software to control an external CD burner, Korg or otherwise.

However, if you get a 'standalone' CD recorder ... like Philips, Pioneer, Marantz, Tascam etc. , that will work.
Get one that DOESN'T try to convert an incoming 44.1khz signal to 44.1khz, and you can even do D8 data back-ups to CD. Just as if it was a dat machine!

Count me in on a korg forum. I own a D16. Nice box for the cash.

As much as I would like to be a part of this new forum, I don't think it would be official until they at least SHIP MY D1600!!!!! aaaaaaaarrrrrrggghhhh!!!!!!

(I think my tuner is a Korg.....)
 
Hi Vinnie,

Yes. The Philips units are used by quite a few folk at the Korg D8 forum on Yahoo ... mostly successfully. (there are some unexplained hiccups occasionally.)
Pioneer also make a similar unit that has been given the thumbs up by some.
It seems, from what I've read, that the twin tray model of the Philips is the most useful. Doing mixdowns and then 1st generation DIGITAL copies of your masterpiece. (SCMS copyright protection means you can't do a digital copy from a digital copy - only analogue.)
LG also make a recorder in the consumer bracket.
Then it's the big step up into the 'pro' league with Marantz, Tascam, and others that don't have the copyright protection to worry about, plus a few more bells and whistles, like defeatable sampling rate converters, and a lot of stuff that sounds very techo.
Check out the Korg D8 forum at Yahoo and do a search on 'Philips' (also try the spelling with 2 L's.) or Pioneer.

Hope this helps.

Korg D1600 It shipped!!

My D1600 did ship 5/9/2000, I am tracking it UPS now. I should get it on 5/15/01.
 
Korg Forum...Just what I was looking for.

I hope we generate enough interest to create one here.

Just got a D16 and need all the help I can get to learn about this awesome machine!
 
DariusK..... Didja get it????

Just curious, it being the 15th and all....
Of course, if you did, you would probably be too busy to post...eh?

Pete
:D
 
Got It!!!!

Wow, It's cool. I loaded the demo song and played with that for a while. I wonder what was used/where/how they recorded. What I mean is what kind of equipment. Where? (Studio or Rented Space). What kind of mics for the horns/vocals. There is a lot to learn here. I purchased a Teac CDRW cd54E, installed no problem. Warning: make sure you get the recomended CDRW, I had two units fail while attempting to use a Sony 8x4x32 CDRW.

Still waiting for mine...

Glad to hear it DariusK!!

Hey, where did you get your CDR drive and for how much? Is there a known benefit for spending the extra $$$ on a Korg drive?

CDRW from pricewatch vendor

battleminnow,

I ordered a recommended Teac CDR54E from a pricewatch vendor for US $77.00
Works fine in D1600 with no issues.

www.pricewatch.com search for Teac CDRW's

I ordered the d1600 from a local dealer here in WA state (local business and all that) and he wasn't even aware that they had shipped yet. He was curious when you ordered yours and from where. He said he should have mine around the end of this month.

CDRW FOR D16

Hi all!

Getting ready to get a CDRW for the D16. Can anyone tell me which is the most compatible and easiest to use?

Thanks a lot!
 
Hey CheekeeG,
I just bought a yamaha 8824 (internal) for my D16. This unit is one of the most popular for the D16 as I understand. By buying the internal and buying an external scsi driv and cable I save about half on the price I was qouted from Korg UK and my local shop.
 
Thanks!

Krystof01

Thanks for the advise I will certainly check this out!
 
Korg D12

Hi,
I just bought the new D12, I cheaped out and got fed up waiting for the D1600, I've just taken it out of the box and played around with it a bit...the effects are subtle but sound great especially when tweaked, It is essentially the same unit as the d1600 without quite a few of the features....does anyone else have one?
