Set up the Rhythm and Tempo for your new song:
1. Set the MODE knob to “RHYTHM”. The name of the currently selected rhythm pattern will be displayed.
2. Use the VALUE dial to select a pattern. Note: If the display indicates “off”, rotate the VALUE DIAL to the
right, until you hear a drum pattern.
3. Press the
► CURSOR once, to display “Tempo”, and then use the VALUE dial to adjust the tempo. The
cursor will also take you to the beat (time signature) and “level” adjustment if needed.
!
The drums NEED NOT be recorded to the tracks, but instead are always synchronized to the recorder and to
your recorded tracks! This means you can audition new rhythm patterns whenever you like!
4. Press the EXIT key twice – the rhythm playback will stop.

For a list of rhythm patterns, available time signatures, and recording count-in options, please refer to page 91

The D4 provides four types of professional effects:
•
Guitar/Mic effects
•
Insert/ Guitar+Vocal effects
•
Master effects
•
Final effects
The effect types available can be selected by pressing the keys just to the left of the Track Faders.
The D4 includes 93 effect algorithms (including Korg’s amazing REMS sound modeling effects), with 100 preset/100 user
effect programs. If you select the effect type GUITAR (for recording on input - mono/1 track only) or INSERT (for
stereo instrument recording - stereo in/out, stereo track bouncing, etc.), you can apply effects as you record.
If you select MASTER as the effect type, you can send the signal from any track to an effect for overall processing. If
you select FINAL as the effect type, you can apply an effect to the master L/R bus, and use this effect as a mastering
processor for track bouncing and other track-related operations.
