Korg D4 Digital Recorder
Korg are releasing a teeny tiny recording studio in a box. The D4 records onto CompactFlash cards and features 32 virtual tracks, a whole bunch of onboard effects, built in microphone as well as inputs, USB interface and other goodies. And the whole thing is the size of a VHS videotape.
The Korg website has details. Here’s their overview: Welcome a new member to Korg’s lineup of D-series recorders – acclaimed for their superb audio quality and intuitive ease-of-use. About the same size as a VHS video tape, the D4 Digital Recorder contains built-in effects, rhythms, and a tuner, everything needed to plug in a guitar or mic and start recording right away. Five real-time knobs provide immediate control over numerous functions, including a full array of Korg’s proprietary “REMS†modeling effects. These same knobs perform double duty as Pan knobs and Record Select buttons; an informative backlit LCD screen keeps it all together. Inside, you’ll find powerful recording and sophisticated editing functions that rival high level models. There’s even a USB connector that makes it easy to transfer song data to a computer. With enormous potential packed into its small size, the D4 is the ideal partner for your creative music life.
